What the skill teaches
playwright-dev is a contributor guide packaged as a skill in the Playwright source repository. Its SKILL.md is an index pointing the agent to separate notes on the library's client and server architecture, adding or changing public APIs, adding MCP tools and CLI commands, vendored dependencies and bundling, updating WebKit's Safari version string, the iOS WebView backend, bisecting regressions across published npm versions, and the dashboard behind the CLI's show command. It is written for people changing Playwright itself, not for people writing tests with it, and the folder holds only Markdown notes.
