api-review
A maintainer skill kept in the Playwright repository's own .claude folder.
What the skill teaches
A maintainer skill kept in the Playwright repository's own .claude folder. It has an agent prepare the API review that Playwright maintainers read before a release: it picks a commit range (an explicit range, since the previous review, or since the last release tag), gathers candidate commits from git history, documentation, public type definitions and CLI and MCP option files, keeps only changes that add public API or alter behaviour for existing users, orders them by impact, checks each is documented, and writes an HTML page from a bundled template. It also covers the Python, Java and .NET ports. It only works inside a Playwright checkout.
Capabilities
- Collect public API changes over a commit range
- Flag breaking or behaviour changes for existing users
- Check that each API change is documented
- Produce an HTML API review page from a template
