What the agent can do
- Generates ranked candidate selectors per element:
data-testidbeatsidbeats ARIA role plus accessible name beats a CSS path. - Scores each candidate for fragility — depth, index-dependence, hash-like class names — and warns inline when the best available option is brittle. That warning is the difference between a suite that survives a refactor and one that does not.
- Exports to Playwright, Puppeteer, Cypress and Selenium.
- Generated code waits on conditions. It never sleeps for a guessed number of milliseconds, and a test asserts that no

Questions
Which tools does Record, replay and code export use?
browser_record_start, browser_record_stop, browser_record_list, browser_record_events, browser_record_replay, browser_codegen_start, browser_codegen_stop, browser_codegen_export, browser_codegen_status.
Is Record, replay and code export free?
Partly. browser_codegen_start, browser_codegen_stop, browser_codegen_export, browser_codegen_status need Pro ($29.99 once); browser_record_start, browser_record_stop, browser_record_list, browser_record_events, browser_record_replay work on the free tier.
Does the agent have to ask before using Record, replay and code export?
Each tool has a risk level: browser_record_start is low; browser_record_stop is low; browser_record_list is low; browser_record_events is low; browser_record_replay is high; browser_codegen_start is medium; browser_codegen_stop is medium; browser_codegen_export is low; browser_codegen_status is low. The approval gate is off by default and can be armed in Settings.
