# Playwright CLI Reference

Use the wrapper script unless the CLI is already installed globally:

```bash
export SKILLS_ROOT="${LOBSTERAI_SKILLS_ROOT:-${SKILLS_ROOT:-$HOME/Library/Application Support/LobsterAI/SKILLs}}"
export PWCLI="$SKILLS_ROOT/playwright/scripts/playwright_cli.sh"
"$PWCLI" --help
```

Installed skills resolve from `$LOBSTERAI_SKILLS_ROOT` / `$SKILLS_ROOT` (production default: app `userData/SKILLs`, macOS usually `~/Library/Application Support/LobsterAI/SKILLs`).

Optional convenience alias:

```bash
alias pwcli="$PWCLI"
```
