-playwriter execute is a tool to control the user browser instance via extension also called playwriter MCP.
-
-if you get an error Extension not running tell user to install and enable the playwriter extension first, clicking on the extension icon on the tab the user wants to control
-
-execute tool let you run playwright js code snippets to control user Chrome window, these js code snippets are preferred to be in a single line to make them more readable in agent interface. separating statements with semicolons
-
-you can extract data from your script using `console.log`. But remember that console.log in `page.evaluate` callbacks are run in the browser, so you will not see them. Instead log the evaluate result
-
-to keep some variables between calls, you can use `state` global object. constants and variables are reset between runs. Instead use code like `state.newPage = await browser.newPage();` to reuse the created page in later calls
-
-you MUST use multiple execute tool calls for running complex logic. this ensures 
-- you have clear understanding of intermediate state between interactions
-- you can split finding an element from interacting with it. making it simpler to understand what is the issue when an action is not successful
-
-it will control an existing user Chrome window. The js code  will be run in a sandbox with some variables in context:
-
-- state: an object shared between runs that you can mutate to persist functions and objects. for example `state.requests = []` to monitor network requests between runs
-- context: the playwright browser context. you can do things like `await context.pages()` to see user connected pages
-- page, the first page the user opened and made it accessible to this MCP. do things like `page.url()` to see current url. assume the user wants you to use this page for your playwright code
-- require: node's require function to load modules
-- all standard Node.js globals: setTimeout, setInterval, clearTimeout, clearInterval, URL, URLSearchParams, fetch, Buffer, TextEncoder, TextDecoder, crypto, AbortController, AbortSignal, structuredClone
-
-the chrome window can have more than one page. you can see other pages with `context.pages().find((p) => p.url().includes('localhost'))`. you can also open and close pages: `state.newPage = await context.newPage()`. store the page in state so that you can reuse it later
-
-you can control the browser in collaboration with the user. the user can help you get unstuck from  captchas or difficult to find elements or reproducing a bug
-
-## capabilities
-
-examples of things playwriter MCP can do:
-- monitor logs for a page while the user reproduces a but to let you understand what is causing a bug
-- monitor logs while also controlling the page, then read collected logs and debug an issue
-- monitor xhr network requests while scrolling an infinite scroll page to extract data from a website
-- get accessibility snapshot to see clickable elements on the page, then click or interact with them to automate a task like ordering pizza
-
-## finding the page to execute code in
-
-if you plan to control a specific page for an url you can store it in `state` so you can reuse it later on:
-
-```js
-const pages = context.pages().filter(x => x.url().includes('localhost'));
-if (pages.length === 0) throw new Error('No page with URL matching localhost found');
-if (pages.length > 1) throw new Error('Multiple pages with URL matching localhost found');
-state.localhostPage = pages[0];
-// do things with the page
-await state.localhostPage.bringToFront();
-```
-
-IMPORTANT! never call bringToFront unless specifically asked by the user. It is very bothering to the user otherwise! you don't need to call bringToFront before being able to interact. you can very well interact without calling it first. on any page in the background you have access to.
-
-## rules
-
-- only call `page.close()` if the user asks you so or if you previously created this page yourself with `newPage`. do not close user created pages unless asked
-- try to never sleep or run `page.waitForTimeout` unless you have to. there are better ways to wait for an element
-- use `page.waitForLoadState('load')` instead of `page.waitForEvent('load')`. `waitForEvent` waits for a future event and will timeout if the page is already loaded, while `waitForLoadState` resolves immediately if already in that state
-- never close browser or context. NEVER call `browser.close()`
-- NEVER use `page.context().newCDPSession()` or `browser.newCDPSession()` - these do not work through the playwriter relay. If you need to send raw CDP commands, use the `getCDPSession` utility function instead.
-
-
-## always check the current page state after an action
-
-after you click a button or submit a form you ALWAYS have to then check what is the current state of the page. you cannot assume what happened after doing an action. instead run the following code to know what happened after the action:
-
-`console.log('url:', page.url()); console.log(await accessibilitySnapshot({ page }).then(x => x.split('\n').slice(0, 30).join('\n')));`
-
-if nothing happened you may need to wait before the action completes, using something like `page.waitForNavigation({timeout: 3000})` or `await page.waitForLoadState('networkidle', {timeout: 3000})`
-
-if nothing happens it could also means that you clicked the wrong button or link. try to search for other appropriate elements to click or submit
-
-
-## event listeners
-
-always detach event listener you create at the end of a message using `page.removeAllListeners()` or similar so that you never leak them in future messages
-
-## utility functions
-
-you have access to some functions in addition to playwright methods:
-
-- `async accessibilitySnapshot({ page, search, contextLines, showDiffSinceLastCall })`: gets a human readable snapshot of clickable elements on the page. useful to see the overall structure of the page and what elements you can interact with.
-    - `page`: the page object to snapshot
-    - `search`: (optional) a string or regex to filter the snapshot. If provided, returns the first 10 matches with surrounding context
-    - `contextLines`: (optional) number of lines of context to show around each match (default: 10). Also controls context lines in diff output.
-    - `showDiffSinceLastCall`: (optional) if true, returns a unified diff patch showing only changes since the last non-diff snapshot call for this page. Disables search when enabled. Useful to see what changed after an action. Note: diff calls do not update the stored snapshot, so you can call diff multiple times and always compare against the same baseline.
-- `getLatestLogs({ page, count, search })`: retrieves browser console logs. The system automatically captures and stores up to 5000 logs per page. Logs are cleared when a page reloads or navigates.
-    - `page`: (optional) filter logs by a specific page instance. Only returns logs from that page
-    - `count`: (optional) limit number of logs to return. If not specified, returns all available logs
-    - `search`: (optional) string or regex to filter logs. Only returns logs that match
-- `waitForPageLoad({ page, timeout, pollInterval, minWait })`: smart network-aware page load detection. Playwright's `networkidle` waits for ALL requests to finish, which often times out on sites with analytics/ads. This function ignores those and returns when meaningful content is loaded.
-    - `page`: the page object to wait on
-    - `timeout`: (optional) max wait time in ms (default: 30000)
-    - `pollInterval`: (optional) how often to check in ms (default: 100)
-    - `minWait`: (optional) minimum wait before checking in ms (default: 500)
-    - Returns: `{ success, readyState, pendingRequests, waitTimeMs, timedOut }`
-    - Filters out: ad networks (doubleclick, googlesyndication), analytics (google-analytics, mixpanel, segment), social (facebook.net, twitter), support widgets (intercom, zendesk), and slow fonts/images
-- `getCDPSession({ page })`: creates a CDP session to send raw Chrome DevTools Protocol commands. Use this instead of `page.context().newCDPSession()` which does not work through the playwriter relay. Sessions are cached per page.
-    - `page`: the page object to create the session for
-    - Returns: `{ send(method, params?), on(event, callback), off(event, callback) }`
-    - Example: `const cdp = await getCDPSession({ page }); const metrics = await cdp.send('Page.getLayoutMetrics');`
-- `createDebugger({ cdp })`: creates a Debugger instance for setting breakpoints, stepping, and inspecting variables. Works with browser JS or Node.js (--inspect).
-    - `cdp`: a CDPSession from `getCDPSession`
-    - Methods: `enable()`, `setBreakpoint({ file, line, condition? })`, `deleteBreakpoint({ breakpointId })`, `listBreakpoints()`, `listScripts({ search? })`, `evaluate({ expression })`, `inspectLocalVariables()`, `getLocation()`, `stepOver()`, `stepInto()`, `stepOut()`, `resume()`, `isPaused()`, `setXHRBreakpoint({ url })`, `removeXHRBreakpoint({ url })`, `listXHRBreakpoints()`, `setBlackboxPatterns({ patterns })`, `addBlackboxPattern({ pattern })`, `removeBlackboxPattern({ pattern })`, `listBlackboxPatterns()`
-    - Example:
-      ```js
-      const cdp = await getCDPSession({ page }); const dbg = createDebugger({ cdp }); await dbg.enable();
-      console.log(dbg.listScripts({ search: 'app' }));
-      await dbg.setBreakpoint({ file: 'https://example.com/app.js', line: 42 });
-      // conditional breakpoint - only pause when userId is 123
-      await dbg.setBreakpoint({ file: 'app.js', line: 50, condition: 'userId === 123' });
-      // XHR breakpoint - pause when fetch/XHR URL contains '/api'
-      await dbg.setXHRBreakpoint({ url: '/api' });
-      // blackbox framework code when stepping
-      await dbg.setBlackboxPatterns({ patterns: ['node_modules/'] });
-      // user triggers the code, then:
-      if (dbg.isPaused()) { console.log(await dbg.getLocation()); console.log(await dbg.inspectLocalVariables()); await dbg.resume(); }
-      ```
-- `createEditor({ cdp })`: creates an Editor instance for viewing and live-editing page scripts and CSS stylesheets. Provides a Claude Code-like interface.
-    - `cdp`: a CDPSession from `getCDPSession`
-    - Methods: `enable()`, `list({ pattern? })`, `read({ url, offset?, limit? })`, `edit({ url, oldString, newString, dryRun? })`, `grep({ regex, pattern? })`, `write({ url, content, dryRun? })`
-    - `pattern` parameter: regex to filter URLs (e.g. `/\.js/` for JS files, `/\.css/` for CSS files)
-    - Inline scripts get `inline://` URLs, inline styles get `inline-css://` URLs - use grep() to find them by content
-    - Example:
-      ```js
-      const cdp = await getCDPSession({ page }); const editor = createEditor({ cdp }); await editor.enable();
-      // list all scripts and stylesheets
-      console.log(editor.list());
-      // list only JS files
-      console.log(editor.list({ pattern: /\.js/ }));
-      // list only CSS files
-      console.log(editor.list({ pattern: /\.css/ }));
-      // read a script with line numbers (like Claude Code Read tool)
-      const { content, totalLines } = await editor.read({ url: 'https://example.com/app.js', offset: 0, limit: 50 });
-      console.log(content);
-      // edit a script (like Claude Code Edit tool) - exact string replacement
-      await editor.edit({ url: 'https://example.com/app.js', oldString: 'DEBUG = false', newString: 'DEBUG = true' });
-      // edit CSS
-      await editor.edit({ url: 'https://example.com/styles.css', oldString: 'color: red', newString: 'color: blue' });
-      // search across all scripts (like Grep) - useful for finding inline scripts
-      const matches = await editor.grep({ regex: /myFunction/ });
-      if (matches.length > 0) { await editor.edit({ url: matches[0].url, oldString: 'return false', newString: 'return true' }); }
-      // search only in CSS files
-      const cssMatches = await editor.grep({ regex: /background-color/, pattern: /\.css/ });
-      ```
-- `getStylesForLocator({ locator, includeUserAgentStyles? })`: gets the CSS styles applied to an element, similar to browser DevTools "Styles" panel.
-    - `locator`: a Playwright Locator for the element to inspect
-    - `includeUserAgentStyles`: (optional, default: false) include browser default styles
-    - Returns: `StylesResult` object with:
-      - `element`: string description of the element (e.g. `div#main.container`)
-      - `inlineStyle`: object of `{ property: value }` inline styles, or null
-      - `rules`: array of CSS rules that apply to this element, each with:
-        - `selector`: the CSS selector that matched
-        - `source`: `{ url, line, column }` location in the stylesheet, or null
-        - `origin`: `"regular"` | `"user-agent"` | `"injected"` | `"inspector"`
-        - `declarations`: object of `{ property: value }` (values include `!important` if applicable)
-        - `inheritedFrom`: element description if inherited (e.g. `body`), or null for direct matches
-    - Example:
-      ```js
-      const loc = page.locator('.my-button');
-      const styles = await getStylesForLocator({ locator: loc });
-      console.log(formatStylesAsText(styles));
-      ```
-- `formatStylesAsText(styles)`: formats a `StylesResult` object as human-readable text. Use this to display styles in a readable format.
-- `getReactSource({ locator })`: gets the React component source location (file, line, column) for an element.
-    - `locator`: a Playwright Locator or ElementHandle for the element to inspect
-    - Returns: `{ fileName, lineNumber, columnNumber, componentName }` or `null` if not found
-    - **Important**: Only works on **local dev servers** (localhost with Vite, Next.js, CRA in dev mode). Production builds strip source info. The JSX transform must have `development: true` to include `_debugSource`.
-    - Example:
-      ```js
-      const loc = page.locator('.my-component');
-      const source = await getReactSource({ locator: loc });
-      if (source) {
-        console.log(`Component: ${source.componentName}`);
-        console.log(`File: ${source.fileName}:${source.lineNumber}:${source.columnNumber}`);
-      }
-      ```
-
-example:
-
-```md
-- generic [active] [ref=e1]:
-    - generic [ref=e2]:
-        - banner [ref=e3]:
-            - generic [ref=e5]:
-                - link "shadcn/ui" [ref=e6] [cursor=pointer]:
-                    - /url: /
-                    - img
-                    - generic [ref=e11] [cursor=pointer]: shadcn/ui
-                - navigation [ref=e12]:
-                    - link "Docs" [ref=e13] [cursor=pointer]:
-                        - /url: /docs/installation
-                    - link "Components" [ref=e14] [cursor=pointer]:
-                        - /url: /docs/components
-```
-
-Then you can use `page.locator(`aria-ref=${ref}`)` to get an element with a specific `ref` and interact with it.
-
-`const componentsLink = page.locator('aria-ref=e14').click()` 
-
-IMPORTANT: notice that we do not add any quotes in `aria-ref`! it MUST be called without quotes
-
-## getting a stable selector for an element (getLocatorStringForElement)
-
-The `aria-ref` values from accessibility snapshots are ephemeral - they change on page reload and when components remount. Use `getLocatorStringForElement(element)` to get a stable Playwright locator string that you can reuse programmatically.
-
-This is useful for:
-- Getting a selector you can store and reuse across page reloads
-- Finding similar elements in a list (modify the selector pattern)
-- Debugging which selector Playwright would use for an element
-
-```js
-const loc = page.locator('aria-ref=e14');
-const selector = await getLocatorStringForElement(loc);
-console.log(selector);
-// => "getByRole('button', { name: 'Save' })"
-
-// use the selector programmatically with eval:
-const stableLocator = page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Save' })
-await stableLocator.click();
-```
-
-## pinned elements (user right-click to pin)
-
-Users can right-click an element and select "Pin to Playwriter" to store it in `globalThis.playwriterPinnedElem1` (increments for each pin). The variable name is copied to clipboard.
-
-```js
-const el = await page.evaluateHandle(() => globalThis.playwriterPinnedElem1);
-await el.click();
-const selector = await getLocatorStringForElement(el);
-```
-
-## finding specific elements with snapshot
-
-You can use `search` to find specific elements in the snapshot without reading the whole page structure. This is useful for finding forms, textareas, or specific text.
-
-Example: find a textarea or form using case-insensitive regex:
-
-```js
-const snapshot = await accessibilitySnapshot({ page, search: /textarea|form/i })
-console.log(snapshot)
-```
-
-Example: find elements containing "Login":
-
-```js
-const snapshot = await accessibilitySnapshot({ page, search: "Login" })
-console.log(snapshot)
-```
-
-## getting outputs of code execution
-
-You can use `console.log` to print values you want to see in the tool call result. For seeing logs across runs you can store then in `state.logs` and then print them later, filtering and paginating them too.
-
-## using page.evaluate
-
-you can execute client side JavaScript code using `page.evaluate()`
-
-When executing code with `page.evaluate()`, return values directly from the evaluate function. Use `console.log()` outside of evaluate to display results:
-
-```js
-// Get data from the page by returning it
-const title = await page.evaluate(() => document.title)
-console.log('Page title:', title)
-
-// Return multiple values as an object
-const pageInfo = await page.evaluate(() => ({
-    url: window.location.href,
-    buttonCount: document.querySelectorAll('button').length,
-    readyState: document.readyState,
-}))
-console.log(pageInfo)
-```
-
-## read logs during interactions
-
-you can see logs during interactions with `page.on('console', msg => console.log(`Browser log: [${msg.type()}] ${msg.text()}`))`
-
-then remember to call `context.removeAllListeners()` or `page.removeAllListeners('console')` to not see logs in next execute calls.
-
-## reading past logs
-
-you can keep track of logs using `state.logs = []; page.on('console', msg => state.logs.push({ type: msg.type(), text: msg.text() }))`
-
-later, you can read logs that you care about. For example, to get the last 100 logs that contain the word "error":
-
-`console.log('errors:'); state.logs.filter(log => log.type === 'error').slice(-100).forEach(x => console.log(x))`
-
-then to reset logs: `state.logs = []` and to stop listening: `page.removeAllListeners('console')`
-
-## using getLatestLogs to read browser console logs
-
-The system automatically captures and stores up to 5000 browser console logs per page. Logs are automatically cleared when a page reloads or navigates to a new URL. You can retrieve logs using the `getLatestLogs` function:
-
-```js
-// Get all browser console logs from all pages (up to 5000 per page)
-const allLogs = await getLatestLogs()
-console.log(allLogs)
-
-// Get last 50 browser error logs
-const errorLogs = await getLatestLogs({ count: 50, search: /\[error\]/ })
-console.log(errorLogs)
-
-// Get all browser logs from the current page only
-const pageLogs = await getLatestLogs({ page })
-console.log(pageLogs)
-
-// Find browser logs containing specific text
-const authLogs = await getLatestLogs({ search: 'authentication failed' })
-console.log(authLogs)
-
-// Example output format:
-// [log] User clicked login button
-// [error] Failed to fetch /api/auth
-// [warn] Session expiring soon
-```
-
-## loading file content into inputs
-
-you can use the `require` function to read files and fill inputs with their content:
-
-```js
-const fs = require('node:fs'); const content = fs.readFileSync('/path/to/file.txt', 'utf-8'); await page.locator('textarea').fill(content)
-```
-
-for example, to fill a textarea with the content of a markdown file:
-
-```js
-const fs = require('node:fs'); const readme = fs.readFileSync('./README.md', 'utf-8'); await page.locator('#description').fill(readme); console.log('Filled textarea with README content')
-```
-
