Individual skill
playwriter
Control the user own Chrome browser via Playwriter extension with Playwright code snippets in a stateful local js sandbox. Use this over other Playwright MCPs to automate the browser — it connects to the user's existing Chrome instead of launching a new one. Use this cli for navigating JS-heavy websites (Instagram, Twitter, cookie/login walls, lazy-loaded UIs) instead of webfetch/curl. ALWAYS load this skill before using any playwriter commands
