# Playwright with Lightpanda

Use this skill when a task needs browser automation through local Lightpanda.

This skill is Playwright + Lightpanda-only:

- Allowed runtime: Local Lightpanda CDP endpoint only
- Allowed client library: Playwright Python
- Not allowed: browser-use orchestration
- Not allowed: Cloud Lightpanda endpoint
- Do not run `playwright install chromium`

## Why this skill

- Faster startup and lower memory footprint are useful for parallel agent workloads.
- Keeps browser automation setup consistent across OrgOps agents.
- Eliminates browser fallback ambiguity.

## Fixed local endpoint and stack

This skill does not use secrets for endpoint discovery.

- Fixed endpoint: `ws://127.0.0.1:9222`
- Client package: `playwright` (Python)
- If a different endpoint is required, edit this skill explicitly.

## Local-only setup (no cloud)

Use this when you want OrgOps browser tasks to stay fully local:

1. Install Playwright Python package in a local venv.
2. Run local Lightpanda CDP server.
3. Confirm local endpoint `ws://127.0.0.1:9222` is reachable.

## Installation and readiness checks

### 1) Lightpanda check and install

Check if Lightpanda is installed:

```bash
command -v lightpanda
```

If missing, install with the bundled helper:

```bash
bash skills/browser-use-lightpanda/assets/install-lightpanda.sh
```

Start local Lightpanda CDP server:

```bash
~/.local/bin/lightpanda serve --host 127.0.0.1 --port 9222
```

If `lightpanda` is already in PATH:

```bash
lightpanda serve --host 127.0.0.1 --port 9222
```

Set local endpoint secret:

```bash
node --import tsx skills/secrets/assets/set.ts -- browser-use LIGHTPANDA_WS_ENDPOINT__worker1 ws://127.0.0.1:9222
```

### 2) Playwright package check and install

Bootstrap Python env with Playwright package:

```bash
bash skills/browser-use-lightpanda/assets/ensure-playwright-python.sh
```

This script:

- checks `python3`
- installs `uv` if missing
- creates `.venv-playwright` if missing
- installs/updates `playwright`

Smoke-check local CDP endpoint:

```bash
curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:9222/json/version
```

If this fails, do not proceed; report the endpoint connectivity error.

Run Playwright CDP smoke script:

```bash
source .venv-playwright/bin/activate
python skills/browser-use-lightpanda/assets/playwright-lightpanda-smoke.py
```

Expected output includes:

- `ok: connected to ws://127.0.0.1:9222`
- page title for `https://example.com`

## Agent operating rules

- Clarify the objective before browsing: target URL, expected output, and stop condition.
- Prefer deterministic flows: direct URL navigation, explicit selectors, bounded retries.
- Capture concise evidence (key extracted fields, final page state, errors) in the response.
- Never expose sensitive values in messages, logs, or event payloads.
- If blocked by auth walls, anti-bot controls, or CAPTCHAs, report blocker and request user action.
- Do not introduce browser-use or non-Lightpanda fallbacks.
- Reject non-local Lightpanda endpoints for this skill.
