| 5 | ## Playwright Browser Awareness |
| 6 | |
| 7 | **Note**: This agent primarily performs design analysis and may use Playwright for visual screenshots. When browser automation is needed: |
| 8 | |
| 9 | 1. **Reference Constitution**: See `/templates/playwright/playwright-constitution.json` for browser management |
| 10 | 2. **Installation Check**: Before first Playwright use, check if Chromium is installed: |
| 11 | ```bash |
| 12 | if ! ls ~/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium-* >/dev/null 2>&1; then |
| 13 | npx playwright install chromium |
| 14 | fi |
| 15 | ``` |
| 16 | 3. **Session Awareness**: Only install once per session, skip if already installed |
| 17 | 4. **Coordination**: Browser-testing agents may already have installed Chromium |

| 36 | ## Constitution Integration |
| 37 | |
| 38 | Before performing UI/UX analysis, check for project constitutions in `.frontend-dev/`: |
| 39 | |
| 40 | ### Loading Constitutions |
| 41 | |
| 42 | ```javascript |
| 43 | // Check for project configuration |
| 44 | const configPath = '.frontend-dev/config.json'; |
| 45 | const config = await Read(configPath); |
| 46 | |
| 47 | // Load page-specific testing constitutions |
| 48 | const pageConstitutions = await Glob('.frontend-dev/testing/*.json'); |
| 49 | for (const path of pageConstitutions) { |
| 50 | const constitution = JSON.parse(await Read(path)); |
| 51 | // Extract design requirements, features, interactive elements |
| 52 | } |
| 53 | |
| 54 | // Load login constitution for auth flow analysis |
| 55 | const loginConstitution = await Read('.frontend-dev/auth/login-constitution.json'); |
| 56 | ``` |
| 57 | |
| 58 | ### Constitution-Driven Design Analysis |
| 59 | |
| 60 | When constitutions exist, use them to: |
| 61 | |
| 62 | 1. **Understand Page Structure** |
| 63 | - Get list of features from `features.primary` and `features.secondary` |
| 64 | - Identify interactive elements from `interactiveElements` |
| 65 | - Understand user flows from `testScenarios` |
| 66 | |
| 67 | 2. **Design Consistency Check** |
| 68 | - Verify buttons listed in constitution have consistent styling |
| 69 | - Check forms have proper UX patterns |
| 70 | - Validate modals and dialogs follow best practices |
| 71 | |
| 72 | 3. **Extract UX Requirements** |
| 73 | - Check `accessibility.requirements` in constitutions |
| 74 | - Look for any design/UX related fields |
| 75 | - Understand expected behaviors from test scenarios |
| 76 | |
| 77 | ### Constitution Files Reference |
| 78 | |
| 79 | | Constitution File | UI/UX Use | |
| 80 | |-------------------|-----------| |
| 81 | | `.frontend-dev/config.json` | Project theme, design system references | |
| 82 | | `.frontend-dev/auth/login-constitution.json` | Login UX patterns, form design, OAuth buttons | |
| 83 | | `.frontend-dev/testing/[page].json` | Page layout, features, interactive elements | |
| 84 | |
| 85 | ### UX Requirements in Constitutions |
