+
+## Open parameters
+```bash
+# Use specific browser when creating session
+playwright-cli open --browser=chrome
+playwright-cli open --browser=firefox
+playwright-cli open --browser=webkit
+playwright-cli open --browser=msedge
+# Connect to browser via extension
+playwright-cli open --extension
+
+# Use persistent profile (by default profile is in-memory)
+playwright-cli open --persistent
+# Use persistent profile with custom directory
+playwright-cli open --profile=/path/to/profile
+
+# Start with config file
+playwright-cli open --config=my-config.json
+
+# Close the browser
+playwright-cli close
+# Delete user data for the default session
+playwright-cli delete-data
+```
+
+## Snapshots
+
+After each command, playwright-cli provides a snapshot of the current browser state.
+
+```bash
+> playwright-cli goto https://example.com
+### Page
+- Page URL: https://example.com/
+- Page Title: Example Domain
+### Snapshot
+[Snapshot](.playwright-cli/page-2026-02-14T19-22-42-679Z.yml)
+```
+
+You can also take a snapshot on demand using `playwright-cli snapshot` command.
+
+If `--filename` is not provided, a new snapshot file is created with a timestamp. Default to automatic file naming, use `--filename=` when artifact is a part of the workflow result.
+
+## Browser Sessions
+
+```bash
+# create new browser session named "mysession" with persistent profile
+playwright-cli -s=mysession open example.com --persistent
+# same with manually specified profile directory (use when requested explicitly)
+playwright-cli -s=mysession open example.com --profile=/path/to/profile
+playwright-cli -s=mysession click e6
+playwright-cli -s=mysession close  # stop a named browser
+playwright-cli -s=mysession delete-data  # delete user data for persistent session
+
+playwright-cli list
+# Close all browsers
+playwright-cli close-all
+# Forcefully kill all browser processes
+playwright-cli kill-all
+```
+
+## Local installation
+
+In some cases user might want to install playwright-cli locally. If running globally available `playwright-cli` binary fails, use `npx playwright-cli` to run the commands. For example:
+
+```bash
+npx playwright-cli open https://example.com
+npx playwright-cli click e1
+```
+
+## Example: Form submission
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli open https://example.com/form
+playwright-cli snapshot
+
+playwright-cli fill e1 "user@example.com"
+playwright-cli fill e2 "password123"
+playwright-cli click e3
+playwright-cli snapshot
+playwright-cli close
+```
+
+## Example: Multi-tab workflow
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+playwright-cli tab-new https://example.com/other
+playwright-cli tab-list
+playwright-cli tab-select 0
+playwright-cli snapshot
+playwright-cli close
+```
+
+## Example: Debugging with DevTools
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+playwright-cli click e4
+playwright-cli fill e7 "test"
+playwright-cli console
+playwright-cli network
+playwright-cli close
+```
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+playwright-cli tracing-start
+playwright-cli click e4
+playwright-cli fill e7 "test"
+playwright-cli tracing-stop
+playwright-cli close

+# Request Mocking
+
+Intercept, mock, modify, and block network requests.
+
+## CLI Route Commands
+
+```bash
+# Mock with custom status
+playwright-cli route "**/*.jpg" --status=404
+
+# Mock with JSON body
+playwright-cli route "**/api/users" --body='[{"id":1,"name":"Alice"}]' --content-type=application/json
+
+# Mock with custom headers
+playwright-cli route "**/api/data" --body='{"ok":true}' --header="X-Custom: value"
+
+# Remove headers from requests
+playwright-cli route "**/*" --remove-header=cookie,authorization
+
+# List active routes
+playwright-cli route-list
+
+# Remove a route or all routes
+playwright-cli unroute "**/*.jpg"
+playwright-cli unroute
+```
+
+## URL Patterns
+
+```
+**/api/users           - Exact path match
+**/api/*/details       - Wildcard in path
+**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg}    - Match file extensions
+**/search?q=*          - Match query parameters
+```
+
+## Advanced Mocking with run-code
+
+For conditional responses, request body inspection, response modification, or delays:
+
+### Conditional Response Based on Request
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.route('**/api/login', route => {
+    const body = route.request().postDataJSON();
+    if (body.username === 'admin') {
+      route.fulfill({ body: JSON.stringify({ token: 'mock-token' }) });
+    } else {
+      route.fulfill({ status: 401, body: JSON.stringify({ error: 'Invalid' }) });
+    }
+  });
+}"
+```
+
+### Modify Real Response
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.route('**/api/user', async route => {
+    const response = await route.fetch();
+    const json = await response.json();
+    json.isPremium = true;
+    await route.fulfill({ response, json });
+  });
+}"
+```
+
+### Simulate Network Failures
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.route('**/api/offline', route => route.abort('internetdisconnected'));
+}"
+# Options: connectionrefused, timedout, connectionreset, internetdisconnected
+```
+
+### Delayed Response
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.route('**/api/slow', async route => {
+    await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 3000));
+    route.fulfill({ body: JSON.stringify({ data: 'loaded' }) });
+  });

+# Running Custom Playwright Code
+
+Use `run-code` to execute arbitrary Playwright code for advanced scenarios not covered by CLI commands.
+
+## Syntax
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  // Your Playwright code here
+  // Access page.context() for browser context operations
+}"
+```
+
+## Geolocation
+
+```bash
+# Grant geolocation permission and set location
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.context().grantPermissions(['geolocation']);
+  await page.context().setGeolocation({ latitude: 37.7749, longitude: -122.4194 });
+}"
+
+# Set location to London
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.context().grantPermissions(['geolocation']);
+  await page.context().setGeolocation({ latitude: 51.5074, longitude: -0.1278 });
+}"
+
+# Clear geolocation override
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.context().clearPermissions();
+}"
+```
+
+## Permissions
+
+```bash
+# Grant multiple permissions
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.context().grantPermissions([
+    'geolocation',
+    'notifications',
+    'camera',
+    'microphone'
+  ]);
+}"
+
+# Grant permissions for specific origin
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.context().grantPermissions(['clipboard-read'], {
+    origin: 'https://example.com'
+  });
+}"
+```
+
+## Media Emulation
+
+```bash
+# Emulate dark color scheme
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.emulateMedia({ colorScheme: 'dark' });
+}"
+
+# Emulate light color scheme
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.emulateMedia({ colorScheme: 'light' });

+}"
+
+# Emulate print media
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.emulateMedia({ media: 'print' });
+}"
+```
+
+## Wait Strategies
+
+```bash
+# Wait for network idle
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.waitForLoadState('networkidle');
+}"
+
+# Wait for specific element
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.waitForSelector('.loading', { state: 'hidden' });
+}"
+
+# Wait for function to return true
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.waitForFunction(() => window.appReady === true);
+}"
+
+# Wait with timeout
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.waitForSelector('.result', { timeout: 10000 });
+}"
+```
+
+## Frames and Iframes
+
+```bash
+# Work with iframe
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  const frame = page.locator('iframe#my-iframe').contentFrame();
+  await frame.locator('button').click();
+}"
+
+# Get all frames
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  const frames = page.frames();
+  return frames.map(f => f.url());
+}"
+```
+
+## File Downloads
+
+```bash
+# Handle file download

+  const [download] = await Promise.all([
+    page.waitForEvent('download'),
+    page.click('a.download-link')
+  ]);
+  await download.saveAs('./downloaded-file.pdf');
+  return download.suggestedFilename();
+}"
+```
+
+## Clipboard
+
+```bash
+# Read clipboard (requires permission)
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.context().grantPermissions(['clipboard-read']);
+  return await page.evaluate(() => navigator.clipboard.readText());
+}"
+
+# Write to clipboard
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.evaluate(text => navigator.clipboard.writeText(text), 'Hello clipboard!');
+}"
+```
+
+## Page Information
+
+```bash
+# Get page title
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  return await page.title();
+}"
+
+# Get current URL
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  return page.url();
+}"
+
+# Get page content

+  return await page.content();
+}"
+
+# Get viewport size
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  return page.viewportSize();
+}"
+```
+
+## JavaScript Execution
+
+```bash
+# Execute JavaScript and return result
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  return await page.evaluate(() => {
+    return {
+      userAgent: navigator.userAgent,
+      language: navigator.language,
+      cookiesEnabled: navigator.cookieEnabled

+# Pass arguments to evaluate
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  const multiplier = 5;
+  return await page.evaluate(m => document.querySelectorAll('li').length * m, multiplier);
+}"
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+```bash
+# Try-catch in run-code
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  try {
+    await page.click('.maybe-missing', { timeout: 1000 });
+    return 'clicked';
+  } catch (e) {
+    return 'element not found';
+  }
+}"

+
+## Complex Workflows
+
+```bash
+# Login and save state
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.goto('https://example.com/login');

+# Browser Session Management
+
+Run multiple isolated browser sessions concurrently with state persistence.
+
+## Named Browser Sessions
+
+Use `-s` flag to isolate browser contexts:
+
+```bash
+# Browser 1: Authentication flow
+playwright-cli -s=auth open https://app.example.com/login
+
+# Browser 2: Public browsing (separate cookies, storage)
+playwright-cli -s=public open https://example.com
+
+# Commands are isolated by browser session
+playwright-cli -s=auth fill e1 "user@example.com"
+playwright-cli -s=public snapshot
+```
+
+## Browser Session Isolation Properties
+
+Each browser session has independent:
+- Cookies
+- LocalStorage / SessionStorage
+- IndexedDB
+- Cache
+- Browsing history
+- Open tabs
+
+## Browser Session Commands
+
+```bash
+# List all browser sessions
+playwright-cli list
+
+# Stop a browser session (close the browser)
+playwright-cli close                # stop the default browser
+playwright-cli -s=mysession close   # stop a named browser
+
+# Stop all browser sessions
+playwright-cli close-all
+
+# Forcefully kill all daemon processes (for stale/zombie processes)
+playwright-cli kill-all
+
+# Delete browser session user data (profile directory)
+playwright-cli delete-data                # delete default browser data
+playwright-cli -s=mysession delete-data   # delete named browser data
+```
+
+## Environment Variable
+
+Set a default browser session name via environment variable:
+
+```bash
+export PLAYWRIGHT_CLI_SESSION="mysession"
+playwright-cli open example.com  # Uses "mysession" automatically
+```
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Concurrent Scraping
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# Scrape multiple sites concurrently
+
+# Start all browsers
+playwright-cli -s=site1 open https://site1.com &
+playwright-cli -s=site2 open https://site2.com &
+playwright-cli -s=site3 open https://site3.com &
+wait
+
+# Take snapshots from each
+playwright-cli -s=site1 snapshot
+playwright-cli -s=site2 snapshot
+playwright-cli -s=site3 snapshot
+
+# Cleanup
+playwright-cli close-all
+```
+
+### A/B Testing Sessions
+
+```bash
+# Test different user experiences
+playwright-cli -s=variant-a open "https://app.com?variant=a"
+playwright-cli -s=variant-b open "https://app.com?variant=b"
+
+# Compare
+playwright-cli -s=variant-a screenshot
+playwright-cli -s=variant-b screenshot
+```
+
+### Persistent Profile
+
+By default, browser profile is kept in memory only. Use `--persistent` flag on `open` to persist the browser profile to disk:
+
+```bash
+# Use persistent profile (auto-generated location)
+playwright-cli open https://example.com --persistent
+
+# Use persistent profile with custom directory
+playwright-cli open https://example.com --profile=/path/to/profile
+```
+
+## Default Browser Session
+
+When `-s` is omitted, commands use the default browser session:
+
+```bash
+# These use the same default browser session
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+playwright-cli snapshot
+playwright-cli close  # Stops default browser
+```
+
+## Browser Session Configuration
+
+Configure a browser session with specific settings when opening:
+
+```bash
+# Open with config file
+playwright-cli open https://example.com --config=.playwright/my-cli.json
+
+# Open with specific browser
+playwright-cli open https://example.com --browser=firefox
+
+# Open in headed mode
+playwright-cli open https://example.com --headed
+
+# Open with persistent profile
+playwright-cli open https://example.com --persistent
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Name Browser Sessions Semantically
+
+```bash
+# GOOD: Clear purpose
+playwright-cli -s=github-auth open https://github.com
+playwright-cli -s=docs-scrape open https://docs.example.com
+
+# AVOID: Generic names
+playwright-cli -s=s1 open https://github.com
+```
+
+### 2. Always Clean Up
+
+```bash
+# Stop browsers when done
+playwright-cli -s=auth close
+playwright-cli -s=scrape close
+
+# Or stop all at once
+playwright-cli close-all
+
+# If browsers become unresponsive or zombie processes remain
+playwright-cli kill-all
+```
+
+### 3. Delete Stale Browser Data
+
+```bash
+# Remove old browser data to free disk space
+playwright-cli -s=oldsession delete-data
+```

+# Storage Management
+
+Manage cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, and browser storage state.
+
+## Storage State
+
+Save and restore complete browser state including cookies and storage.
+
+### Save Storage State
+
+```bash
+# Save to auto-generated filename (storage-state-{timestamp}.json)
+playwright-cli state-save
+
+# Save to specific filename
+playwright-cli state-save my-auth-state.json
+```
+
+### Restore Storage State
+
+```bash
+# Load storage state from file
+playwright-cli state-load my-auth-state.json
+
+# Reload page to apply cookies
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+```
+
+### Storage State File Format
+
+The saved file contains:
+
+```json
+{
+  "cookies": [
+    {
+      "name": "session_id",
+      "value": "abc123",
+      "domain": "example.com",
+      "path": "/",
+      "expires": 1735689600,
+      "httpOnly": true,
+      "secure": true,
+      "sameSite": "Lax"
+    }
+  ],
+  "origins": [
+    {
+      "origin": "https://example.com",
+      "localStorage": [
+        { "name": "theme", "value": "dark" },
+        { "name": "user_id", "value": "12345" }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Cookies
+
+### List All Cookies
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli cookie-list
+```
+
+### Filter Cookies by Domain
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli cookie-list --domain=example.com
+```
+
+### Filter Cookies by Path
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli cookie-list --path=/api
+```
+
+### Get Specific Cookie
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli cookie-get session_id
+```
+
+### Set a Cookie
+
+```bash
+# Basic cookie
+playwright-cli cookie-set session abc123
+
+# Cookie with options
+playwright-cli cookie-set session abc123 --domain=example.com --path=/ --httpOnly --secure --sameSite=Lax
+
+# Cookie with expiration (Unix timestamp)
+playwright-cli cookie-set remember_me token123 --expires=1735689600
+```
+
+### Delete a Cookie
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli cookie-delete session_id
+```
+
+### Clear All Cookies
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli cookie-clear
+```
+
+### Advanced: Multiple Cookies or Custom Options
+
+For complex scenarios like adding multiple cookies at once, use `run-code`:
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.context().addCookies([
+    { name: 'session_id', value: 'sess_abc123', domain: 'example.com', path: '/', httpOnly: true },
+    { name: 'preferences', value: JSON.stringify({ theme: 'dark' }), domain: 'example.com', path: '/' }
+  ]);
+}"
+```
+
+## Local Storage
+
+### List All localStorage Items
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli localstorage-list
+```
+
+### Get Single Value
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli localstorage-get token
+```
+
+### Set Value
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli localstorage-set theme dark
+```
+
+### Set JSON Value
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli localstorage-set user_settings '{"theme":"dark","language":"en"}'
+```
+
+### Delete Single Item
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli localstorage-delete token
+```
+
+### Clear All localStorage
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli localstorage-clear
+```
+
+### Advanced: Multiple Operations
+
+For complex scenarios like setting multiple values at once, use `run-code`:
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.evaluate(() => {
+    localStorage.setItem('token', 'jwt_abc123');
+    localStorage.setItem('user_id', '12345');
+    localStorage.setItem('expires_at', Date.now() + 3600000);
+  });
+}"
+```
+
+## Session Storage
+
+### List All sessionStorage Items
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli sessionstorage-list
+```
+
+### Get Single Value
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli sessionstorage-get form_data
+```
+
+### Set Value
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli sessionstorage-set step 3
+```
+
+### Delete Single Item
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli sessionstorage-delete step
+```
+
+### Clear sessionStorage
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli sessionstorage-clear
+```
+
+## IndexedDB
+
+### List Databases
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  return await page.evaluate(async () => {
+    const databases = await indexedDB.databases();
+    return databases;
+  });
+}"
+```
+
+### Delete Database
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.evaluate(() => {
+    indexedDB.deleteDatabase('myDatabase');
+  });
+}"
+```
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Authentication State Reuse
+
+```bash
+# Step 1: Login and save state
+playwright-cli open https://app.example.com/login
+playwright-cli snapshot
+playwright-cli fill e1 "user@example.com"
+playwright-cli fill e2 "password123"
+playwright-cli click e3
+
+# Save the authenticated state
+playwright-cli state-save auth.json
+
+# Step 2: Later, restore state and skip login
+playwright-cli state-load auth.json
+playwright-cli open https://app.example.com/dashboard
+# Already logged in!
+```
+
+### Save and Restore Roundtrip
+
+```bash
+# Set up authentication state
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+playwright-cli eval "() => { document.cookie = 'session=abc123'; localStorage.setItem('user', 'john'); }"
+
+# Save state to file
+playwright-cli state-save my-session.json
+
+# ... later, in a new session ...
+
+# Restore state
+playwright-cli state-load my-session.json
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+# Cookies and localStorage are restored!
+```
+
+## Security Notes
+
+- Never commit storage state files containing auth tokens
+- Add `*.auth-state.json` to `.gitignore`
+- Delete state files after automation completes
+- Use environment variables for sensitive data
+- By default, sessions run in-memory mode which is safer for sensitive operations

+# Test Generation
+
+Generate Playwright test code automatically as you interact with the browser.
+
+## How It Works
+
+Every action you perform with `playwright-cli` generates corresponding Playwright TypeScript code.
+This code appears in the output and can be copied directly into your test files.
+
+## Example Workflow
+
+```bash
+# Start a session
+playwright-cli open https://example.com/login
+
+# Take a snapshot to see elements
+playwright-cli snapshot
+# Output shows: e1 [textbox "Email"], e2 [textbox "Password"], e3 [button "Sign In"]
+
+# Fill form fields - generates code automatically
+playwright-cli fill e1 "user@example.com"
+# Ran Playwright code:
+# await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Email' }).fill('user@example.com');
+
+playwright-cli fill e2 "password123"
+# Ran Playwright code:
+# await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Password' }).fill('password123');
+
+playwright-cli click e3
+# Ran Playwright code:
+# await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign In' }).click();
+```
+
+## Building a Test File
+
+Collect the generated code into a Playwright test:
+
+```typescript
+import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
+
+test('login flow', async ({ page }) => {
+  // Generated code from playwright-cli session:
+  await page.goto('https://example.com/login');
+  await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Email' }).fill('user@example.com');
+  await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Password' }).fill('password123');
+  await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign In' }).click();
+
+  // Add assertions
+  await expect(page).toHaveURL(/.*dashboard/);
+});
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Use Semantic Locators
+
+The generated code uses role-based locators when possible, which are more resilient:
+
+```typescript
+// Generated (good - semantic)
+await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }).click();
+
+// Avoid (fragile - CSS selectors)
+await page.locator('#submit-btn').click();
+```
+
+### 2. Explore Before Recording
+
+Take snapshots to understand the page structure before recording actions:
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+playwright-cli snapshot
+# Review the element structure
+playwright-cli click e5
+```
+
+### 3. Add Assertions Manually
+
+Generated code captures actions but not assertions. Add expectations in your test:
+
+```typescript
+// Generated action
+await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }).click();
+
+// Manual assertion
+await expect(page.getByText('Success')).toBeVisible();
+```

+# Tracing
+
+Capture detailed execution traces for debugging and analysis. Traces include DOM snapshots, screenshots, network activity, and console logs.
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+```bash
+# Start trace recording
+playwright-cli tracing-start
+
+# Perform actions
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+playwright-cli click e1
+playwright-cli fill e2 "test"
+
+# Stop trace recording
+playwright-cli tracing-stop
+```
+
+## Trace Output Files
+
+When you start tracing, Playwright creates a `traces/` directory with several files:
+
+### `trace-{timestamp}.trace`
+
+**Action log** - The main trace file containing:
+- Every action performed (clicks, fills, navigations)
+- DOM snapshots before and after each action
+- Screenshots at each step
+- Timing information
+- Console messages
+- Source locations
+
+### `trace-{timestamp}.network`
+
+**Network log** - Complete network activity:
+- All HTTP requests and responses
+- Request headers and bodies
+- Response headers and bodies
+- Timing (DNS, connect, TLS, TTFB, download)
+- Resource sizes
+- Failed requests and errors
+
+### `resources/`
+
+**Resources directory** - Cached resources:
+- Images, fonts, stylesheets, scripts
+- Response bodies for replay
+- Assets needed to reconstruct page state
+
+## What Traces Capture
+
+| Category | Details |
+|----------|---------|
+| **Actions** | Clicks, fills, hovers, keyboard input, navigations |
+| **DOM** | Full DOM snapshot before/after each action |
+| **Screenshots** | Visual state at each step |
+| **Network** | All requests, responses, headers, bodies, timing |
+| **Console** | All console.log, warn, error messages |
+| **Timing** | Precise timing for each operation |
+
+## Use Cases
+
+### Debugging Failed Actions
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli tracing-start
+playwright-cli open https://app.example.com
+
+# This click fails - why?
+playwright-cli click e5
+
+playwright-cli tracing-stop
+# Open trace to see DOM state when click was attempted
+```
+
+### Analyzing Performance
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli tracing-start
+playwright-cli open https://slow-site.com
+playwright-cli tracing-stop
+
+# View network waterfall to identify slow resources
+```
+
+### Capturing Evidence
+
+```bash
+# Record a complete user flow for documentation
+playwright-cli tracing-start
+
+playwright-cli open https://app.example.com/checkout
+playwright-cli fill e1 "4111111111111111"
+playwright-cli fill e2 "12/25"
+playwright-cli fill e3 "123"
+playwright-cli click e4
+
+playwright-cli tracing-stop
+# Trace shows exact sequence of events
+```
+
+## Trace vs Video vs Screenshot
+
+| Feature | Trace | Video | Screenshot |
+|---------|-------|-------|------------|
+| **Format** | .trace file | .webm video | .png/.jpeg image |
+| **DOM inspection** | Yes | No | No |
+| **Network details** | Yes | No | No |
+| **Step-by-step replay** | Yes | Continuous | Single frame |
+| **File size** | Medium | Large | Small |
+| **Best for** | Debugging | Demos | Quick capture |
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Start Tracing Before the Problem
+
+```bash
+# Trace the entire flow, not just the failing step
+playwright-cli tracing-start
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+# ... all steps leading to the issue ...
+playwright-cli tracing-stop
+```
+
+### 2. Clean Up Old Traces
+
+Traces can consume significant disk space:
+
+```bash
+# Remove traces older than 7 days
+find .playwright-cli/traces -mtime +7 -delete
+```
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Traces add overhead to automation
+- Large traces can consume significant disk space
+- Some dynamic content may not replay perfectly
