An unguided script wrote straight into the project directory with no error handling; the skill version wrote only to /tmp, defaulted to headless off, and wrapped the run in try/catch/finally.

What Playwright Skill does

Writes and executes bespoke Playwright scripts for browser testing and automation — page loads, form fills, login flows, responsive screenshots, and broken-link checks — after auto-detecting running local dev servers so URLs aren't hardcoded. Triggers on requests to test websites, automate browser interactions, validate UX, or perform browser-based testing of any kind.
