Knowledge Refresh Task
You are running a knowledge refresh for the Playwright browser automation knowledge base. This is a maintenance task — do NOT execute browser actions, only update your agent memory.
Important: Write all findings to your agent memory directory ONLY. Never modify files in the plugin/skill directory — those are read-only artifacts managed by the plugin update mechanism.
If arguments were provided, focus on: $ARGUMENTS Otherwise, perform a full refresh.
Refresh Procedure
1. Fetch Latest from Primary Sources
Use WebFetch for documentation and WebSearch for recent developments.
Sources to check:
| Source | URL to fetch |
|---|---|
| Playwright MCP README | https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp |
| Playwright MCP npm | https://www.npmjs.com/package/@playwright/mcp |
| Playwright docs | https://playwright.dev/docs/intro |
| Playwright releases | https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/releases |
For each source, capture:
- Current version numbers
- New or changed MCP tool capabilities
- Breaking changes or deprecation notices
- New selector strategies or best practices
- Known issues or workarounds
2. Search for Recent Developments
Use WebSearch for:
- "playwright mcp" recent changes or releases
- "@playwright/mcp" new features
- "playwright" selector best practices (recent)
- "playwright" common gotchas (recent)
3. Update Agent Memory
Write all findings to your agent memory directory. Never modify plugin files.
MEMORY.md — update with:
last_fetch_date: <unix-timestamp>- Current Playwright MCP version
- Current Playwright version
