## Quick Start
## REQUIRED: Read Full Documentation First
```bash
# Get a session ID first
playwriter session new
# => 1
# Execute code with your session
playwriter -s 1 -e "await page.goto('https://example.com')"
playwriter -s 1 -e "console.log(await accessibilitySnapshot({ page }))"
playwriter -s 1 -e "await page.screenshot({ path: 'shot.png', scale: 'css' })"
```
If `playwriter` is not found, use `npx playwriter@latest` or `bunx playwriter@latest`.
## Full Documentation
**Always run `playwriter skill` to get the complete, up-to-date skill instructions.**
The skill command outputs detailed docs on:
- Session management
- Context variables (`state`, `page`, `context`)
- Best practices and rules
- Accessibility snapshots and screenshots
- Selector strategies
- Working with pages, navigation, popups, downloads
- Utility functions (`getCleanHTML`, `getCDPSession`, `createDebugger`, etc.)
- Network interception for API scraping
- And more...
**Before using playwriter, you MUST run this command:**
```bash
playwriter skill
```
This outputs the complete documentation including:
- Session management and timeout configuration
- Selector strategies (and which ones to AVOID)
- Rules to prevent timeouts and failures
- Best practices for slow pages and SPAs
- Context variables, utility functions, and more
**Do NOT skip this step.** The quick examples below will fail without understanding timeouts, selector rules, and common pitfalls from the full docs.
## Minimal Example (after reading full docs)
```bash
playwriter session new
playwriter -s 1 -e "await page.goto('https://example.com')"
```
If `playwriter` is not found, use `npx playwriter@latest` or `bunx playwriter@latest`.
