What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Render any URL to a headless PDF or PNG snapshot with Playwright and no committed cookies. Use when the user asks to archive a page, capture a dashboard/report, make a PDF snapshot, or save a page screenshot for downstream review.

Playwright PDF Snapshot

Use this skill when a script needs a browser-rendered artifact from a URL: a PDF report, a full-page PNG, or a dashboard capture. The helper runs Chromium headless through Playwright, accepts optional extra headers from the caller, and does not ship cookies or credentials.

When to invoke

  • User says: "save this page as PDF", "capture a PNG snapshot", "archive the dashboard", "render this report URL".
  • The page needs browser rendering rather than a raw HTTP download.

When NOT to invoke

  • The URL is a static file that can be downloaded directly.
  • The page requires a persisted login session; use [[playwright-login-session]] first and keep state files gitignored.

Concrete example

User input:

Render the public report URL to both a PDF and a PNG after the run finishes.

Output:

# Copy assets/snapshot.py into your project, then:
from snapshot import snapshot

paths = snapshot("https://example.com/report", out_dir="artifacts", name="report")
print(paths)

Install Playwright in the target project with pip install playwright and python -m playwright install chromium. Do not commit cookies, storage state, or private headers.

Pattern to apply

  1. Use headless Chromium and wait for network idle or a specific selector before capturing.
  2. Save both PDF and PNG only when the downstream workflow needs both.
  3. Keep auth out of this helper; pass public URLs or combine with a local, gitignored Playwright state file.
  4. Use stable filenames so artifact upload steps can find them.
  5. Pair with object storage when snapshots need to survive the local run.

Reference: assets/snapshot.py.

  • use stable filenames for artifacts
  • upload snapshots to object storage

Grouped from the skills themselves: near-identical wordings counted once, and counted by distinct author, so one author publishing three of these counts once.
