$ claude plugins add playwright

Playwright integration brings end-to-end browser testing into Claude Code. Describe a user flow and the plugin generates a complete Playwright test with proper locators, assertions and error handling. It handles common patterns like waiting for network idle, intercepting API calls, and taking screenshots at key steps.

For debugging, Claude can run a failing test in headed mode, analyse the error output, propose updated selectors, and apply the fix — all in a single session. 258k installs and +15.5% growth make it the top testing plugin in the Claude ecosystem.
