I created a browser automation tool▲176
I created this tool a few months ago to automate some of my tasks. I use it to collect prices and files and to get notified when something changes on certain websites. The task runner uses Playwright. I'm not sure if it can be useful to anybody else besides me :) Any feedback is welcome.

Playwright Skill for Claude Code – Less context than playwright-MCP▲189
I got tired of playwright-mcp eating through Claude's 200K token limit, so I built this using the new Claude Skills system. Built it with Claude Code itself. Instead of sending accessibility tree snapshots on every action, Claude just writes Playwright code and runs it. You get back screenshots and console output. That's it. 314 lines of instructions vs a persistent MCP server. Full API docs only load if Claude needs them. Same browser automation, way less overhead. Works as a Claude Code plugin or manual install. Token limit issue:…

Stagehand – an open source browser automation framework powered by AI▲326
Hi HN! I’m Anirudh — longtime lurker, first time poster, and I couldn’t be more excited to show you Stagehand. Stagehand is a TypeScript project that extends Playwright with three simple AI methods — act, extract, and observe. We’d love for you to try it out using the command below: npx create-browser-app --example quickstart Here’s a sample workflow: const stagehand = new Stagehand(); await stagehand.init(); // Stagehand overrides the Playwright Page and Context classes const { page, context } = stagehand await page.goto("instadash.com") // Regular Playwright…

AI Browser▲143
Hey HN! I built Browser AI after getting frustrated with the official Playwright MCP server in Claude Code. If you've used it, you know the pain: - 20+ separate tools that Claude has to juggle (click, fill, navigate, wait_for_selector, etc.) - Context window explosions from verbose screenshot data and DOM snapshots - Constant tool selection errors where Claude picks the wrong tool or forgets parameters Browser AI wraps Playwright MCP with a single natural language interface. Instead of Claude managing dozens of tools, you get one: browser_ai.execute. Just tell it what you want in plain…

Load Testing with Playwright▲13
Hi HN fam! Hassy from Artillery (YC S21) here. Playwright got a lot of love on HN today [1] - rightfully so, it's an incredible project! - so I thought I'd resubmit [2] an open-source project that lets you run load tests with existing Playwright scripts. GitHub link: https://github.com/artilleryio/artillery-engine-playwright The basic motivation for creating the project is that load testing complex web apps is a real pain in the ass. It takes ages to build out test scripts for a non-trivial web app with traditional API-oriented tools. If you've ever had to do it, you know…
