1.8Key Takeaways

  • Traditional automation is brittle because it operates on exact selectors, not intent
  • Agent skills teach agents domain-specific capabilities without adding new tools
  • SKILL.md is a de facto cross-agent standard (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI)
  • The six-layer stack separates intent (plans), reasoning (agent + skill), execution (Bash -> playwright-cli -> Playwright engine -> browser)
  • The CLI-skill pattern was pioneered by Vibium (Jason Huggins, 2025) and mainstreamed by Microsoft's @playwright/cli (2026)
