Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Playwright + TypeScript a top choice in 2026?
TypeScript-first API, auto-waiting locators, BrowserContext isolation for parallel, built-in trace viewer + UI mode, and free parallel execution without paid cloud.
Do I need separate skills for component vs E2E?
No — playwright-e2e covers both browser E2E and component testing patterns. Both use @playwright/test and @playwright/experimental-ct-react / -vue / -svelte.
How do skills handle authentication?
Skills teach the storageState pattern — log in once, save cookies + localStorage, reuse across tests for sub-second per-test setup.
Parallel execution patterns?
Skills configure workers + projects + sharding. Default 1 worker per test, parallel across files. Sharding splits files across CI machines.
What about multi-tab + multi-origin flows?
Native — Playwright supports both. Skills teach context.newPage() + page.context() for tab management and direct multi-origin navigation.
Skills compatible with which agents?
Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, Codex CLI, Aider, Continue, Zed, Bolt, Lovable, v0, Gemini CLI, Amp.
