# Playwright CLI Reference

Use the wrapper script unless the CLI is already installed globally:

```bash
export CODEX_HOME="${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}"
export PWCLI="$CODEX_HOME/skills/playwright/scripts/playwright_cli.sh"
"$PWCLI" --help
```

User-scoped skills install under `$CODEX_HOME/skills` (default: `~/.codex/skills`).

Optional convenience alias:

```bash
alias pwcli="$PWCLI"
```
