What it does
- Provides Playwright patterns for extracting tables, listings and nested data into JSON/CSV/JSONL.
- Covers pagination (next button,
?page=N, infinite scroll, load-more) plus SPA/AJAX wait strategies. - Saves and restores login state via
storage_state.jsonso long jobs skip repeated logins. - Splits multi-step forms into per-step functions and handles uploads, custom dropdowns and downloads.
- Full-page/element screenshots, PDF export (Chromium only) and visual-regression baseline naming.
- Prioritized anti-detection stack: strip
navigator.webdriver, rotate user agents, realistic viewport, randomized delays, proxies — plus exponential backoff and 429 handling. - Flags common anti-patterns: hardcoded waits, credentials in code, ignoring robots.txt, leaked browser instances.
Who it's for
- Python developers and data engineers building crawlers or web data pipelines.
- Ops/analysts automating repetitive portal logins and report downloads.
- Teams migrating from Selenium/Puppeteer who need durable selector strategy.
- Not for E2E test suites — use the playwright-pro skill instead.
Examples
- "Scrape 50 pages of search results into a CSV of title, price and link" → pagination loop with dedupe and incremental writes.
- "Log into our portal each morning and download the monthly report" → stored session state plus
expect_download(). - "Capture just the dashboard chart as a daily PNG for comparison" → element screenshot with
{page}_{viewport}_{state}.pngbaselines.

Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the .gemini/skills/browser-automation folder from the GitHub repo alirezarezvani/claude-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/browser-automation/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills.git /tmp/claude-skills && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/claude-skills/.gemini/skills/browser-automation ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal.
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills.git - Create the skills folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill:
cp -r claude-skills/.gemini/skills/browser-automation ~/.claude/skills/ - Install Playwright:
pip install playwrightthenpython3 -m playwright install chromium - Restart Claude Code and ask something like "scrape the product data from this page" to trigger the skill.
- For authenticated flows, keep credentials in a gitignored
.envor environment variables instead of the script.
