Browser Automation
Browser automation powers web testing, scraping, and AI agent interactions. The difference between a flaky script and a reliable system comes down to understanding selectors, waiting strategies, and anti-detection patterns.
This skill covers Playwright (recommended) and Puppeteer, with patterns for testing, scraping, and agentic browser control. Key insight: Playwright won the framework war. Unless you need Puppeteer's stealth ecosystem or are Chrome-only, Playwright is the better choice in 2025.
Critical distinction: Testing automation (predictable apps you control) vs scraping/agent automation (unpredictable sites that fight back). Different problems, different solutions.
Principles
- Use user-facing locators (getByRole, getByText) over CSS/XPath
- Never add manual waits - Playwright's auto-wait handles it
- Each test/task should be fully isolated with fresh context
- Screenshots and traces are your debugging lifeline
- Headless for CI, headed for debugging
- Anti-detection is cat-and-mouse - stay current or get blocked
