  Playwright Agents

  Introducing Playwright Agents, three custom agent definitions designed to guide LLMs through the core process of building a Playwright test:

  • 🎭 planner explores the app and produces a Markdown test plan
  • 🎭 generator transforms the Markdown plan into the Playwright Test files
  • 🎭 healer executes the test suite and automatically repairs failing tests

  Run npx playwright init-agents with your client of choice to generate the latest agent definitions:

  # Generate agent files for each agentic loop
  # Visual Studio Code
  npx playwright init-agents --loop=vscode
  # Claude Code
  npx playwright init-agents --loop=claude
  # opencode
  npx playwright init-agents --loop=opencode

  Note

  VS Code v1.105 (currently on the VS Code Insiders channel) is needed for the agentic experience in VS Code. It will become stable shortly, we are a bit ahead of times with this functionality!
