## From README

Playwright Bowser Purpose Automate browsers using playwright-cli — a token-efficient CLI for Playwright. Runs headless by default, supports parallel sessions via named sessions (-s=), and doesn't load tool schemas into context. Key Details Headless by default — pass --headed to open to see the browser Parallel sessions — use -s= to run multiple independent browser instances Persistent profiles — cookies and storage state preserved between calls Token-efficient — CLI-based, no accessibility trees or tool schemas in context Vision mode (opt-in) — set PLAYWRIGHTMCPCAPS=vision to receive screenshots as image responses in context instead of just saving to disk Sessions Always use a named session. Derive a short, descriptive kebab-case name from the user's prompt. This gives each task a persistent browser profile (cookies, localStorage, history) that accumulates across calls.
