playwright-interactive

The playwright-interactive skill provides a persistent Playwright debugging workflow through a shared `js_repl` session, allowing developers to interact with local web or Electron applications without repeatedly restarting the browser or development environment. It is designed to improve iterative UI debugging by preserving Playwright handles across testing cycles, reducing setup overhead, and enabling faster validation after code changes. The workflow focuses on maintaining continuity during development sessions, especially when testing renderer updates, startup behavior, or interactive application states.

The skill includes guidance for configuring `js_repl`, preparing the development environment, and running Playwright in persistent sessions. It supports both web and Electron application debugging and emphasizes structured QA practices before signoff. The documented workflow covers bootstrap initialization, persistent server management, runtime reuse, functional QA, visual QA, viewport verification, and screenshot capture for evidence collection. It also defines recovery guidance using `js_repl_reset`, outlines setup commands for Playwright dependencies, and includes reusable Playwright handle bindings intended for iterative execution across multiple `js_repl` cells.

This skill is intended for developers, QA engineers, and UI-focused contributors working on local applications that require repeated interaction and validation during active development. It is especially useful for teams performing rapid UI iteration, exploratory testing, visual verification, or Electron debugging where preserving session state can significantly reduce friction. The workflow is suitable for users who need structured QA coverage and persistent automation while developing or validating interactive interfaces.
