playwright-chromium, playwright-firefox, playwright-webkit — per-browser distributions. playwright-browser-chromium, playwright-browser-firefox, playwright-browser-webkit — binary packages. Assume watch is running and code is up to date. Generated files (types, channels, validators) are produced by watch automatically. Runs all lint checks in parallel: eslint, tsc, doclint, check-deps, generatechannels, generatetypes, lint-tests, test-types, lint-packages, code-snippet linting. Always run flint before committing. Do not use tsc --noEmit or individual lint commands separately. Decision rule: Does the test need browser/browserType/context → tests/library/. Just needs page + server → tests/page/.

Guidance for Claude when working in this repository. Python bindings for Playwright. The Python client talks JSON over a pipe to the Node-based driver bundled in playwright/driver/. The pipe protocol is defined upstream in packages/protocol/src/protocol.yml. CONTRIBUTING.md has the full sequence. The short version (needs Node.js and npm for the driver build): If the system lacks python3-venv, uv venv env is an acceptable substitute (then uv pip install --python env/bin/python --upgrade pip). When changing public API, edit impl/, then run ./scripts/updateapi.sh.…

About CLAUDE.md
What is CLAUDE.md?
A file Claude Code reads at the start of every session. It holds the commands, conventions and warnings the agent needs for this project.
Where does it go?
At the repository root. Claude Code also reads CLAUDE.md files in subdirectories when it works there.
What should it contain?
Build and test commands, the project's layout, conventions that aren't obvious from the code, and mistakes to avoid. Short files tend to work better than long ones.
CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md?
Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md; most other agents read AGENTS.md. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.
