+
+### Playwright Agents
+
+Introducing Playwright Agents, three custom agent definitions designed to guide LLMs through the core process of building a Playwright test:
+
+* **🎭 planner** explores the app and produces a Markdown test plan
+
+* **🎭 generator** transforms the Markdown plan into the Playwright Test files
+
+* **🎭 healer** executes the test suite and automatically repairs failing tests
+
+Run `npx playwright init-agents` with your client of choice to generate the latest agent definitions:
+
+```bash
+# Generate agent files for each agentic loop
+# Visual Studio Code
+npx playwright init-agents --loop=vscode
+# Claude Code
+npx playwright init-agents --loop=claude
+# opencode
+npx playwright init-agents --loop=opencode
+```
