Description

Persistent browser and Electron interaction through `js_repl` for fast iterative UI debugging.

Playwright Interactive Skill

Use a persistent js_repl Playwright session to debug local web or Electron apps, keep the same handles alive across iterations, and run functional plus visual QA without restarting the whole toolchain unless the process ownership changed.

Preconditions

• js_repl must be enabled for this skill. • If js_repl is missing, enable it in ~/.codex/config.toml: `toml [features] js_repl = true ` • You can also start a new session with --enable js_repl (equivalent to -c features.js_repl=true). • After enabling js_repl, start a new Codex session so the tool list refreshes. • For now, run this workflow with sandboxing disabled: start Codex with --sandbox danger-full-access (or the equivalent config for sandbox_mode=danger-full-access). This is a temporary requirement while js_repl + Playwright support inside the sandbox is still being completed. • Run setup from the same project directory you need to debug. • Treat js_repl_reset as a recovery tool, not routine cleanup. Resetting the kernel destroys your Playwright handles.

One-time setup

`bash test -f package.json || npm init -y npm install playwright

npm install --save-dev electron

node -e "import('playwright').then(() => console.log('playwright import ok')).catch((error) => { console.error(error); process.exit(1); })" ` If you switch to a different workspace later, repeat setup there.
