Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Playwright CI/CD

> Ship reliable tests in every pipeline — CI-specific patterns for speed, stability, and actionable reports.

**9 guides** covering CI/CD setup, parallel execution, containerized runs, reporting, and infrastructure patterns for all major CI providers.

Golden Rules

1. **`retries: 2` in CI only** — surface flakiness in pipelines, not locally 2. **`traces: 'on-first-retry'`** — capture rich debugging artifacts without slowing every run 3. **Shard across runners** — `--shard=N/M` splits tests evenly; scale horizontally, not vertically 4. **Cache browser binaries** — `~/.cache/ms-playwright` keyed on Playwright version 5. **Upload artifacts on failure** — traces, screenshots, and HTML reports as CI artifacts 6. **Use the official Docker image** — `mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v*` has all OS deps pre-installed 7. **Global setup for auth** — run login once in `globalSetup`, reuse `storageState` across workers 8. **Fail fast, debug later** — keep CI runs short; use trace viewer and HTML reports to investigate
