# Playwright Driver Skill ## Soul Before anything else, read and internalize `soul.md` in this skill directory. It defines WHO you are — a thin executor, not an orchestrator. Every action in this session should reflect that identity. ## Phase 0: Bootstrap Gate Read `skills/_shared/bootstrap-gate.md` and execute the gate check. If GATE_CLOSED, invoke `skills/bootstrap/SKILL.md` and wait for completion. If GATE_OPEN, continue. <HARD-GATE> This driver wraps `playwright` (Apache-2.0, Microsoft).

Do not use it.** | Package | Version (2026-05-14) | Status | |---|---|---| | `playwright` | 1.60.0 | **Canonical — use this** | | `@playwright/test` | 1.60.0 | Test framework (same release train) | | `@playwright/cli` | 0.1.13 | Unrelated, unstable — DO NOT USE | | `@playwright/mcp` | 0.0.75 | MCP adapter — R5 hard-gate blocks this | Verified via `npm view playwright version` → `1.60.0` (2026-05-14 probe). The binary the orchestrator dispatches is named `...
