- Implement responsive testing across viewports
## Target Processes
- `e2e-test-suite.js` - Full E2E test suite implementation
- `cross-browser-testing.js` - Cross-browser compatibility testing
- `visual-regression.js` - Visual regression with Playwright screenshots
- `accessibility-testing.js` - Accessibility testing with axe-playwright
## Dependencies
- `@playwright/test` - Playwright test runner
- `playwright` - Browser automation library
- Node.js 18+
## Usage Example
```javascript
{
kind: 'skill',
skill: {
name: 'playwright-e2e',
context: {
action: 'execute-tests',
testPath: 'tests/e2e/**/*.spec.ts',
browsers: ['chromium', 'firefox'],
parallel: true
}
}
}
```
## Configuration
The skill respects `playwright.config.ts` or `playwright.config.js` in the project root and can override settings as needed for specific test runs.Related Skills
