Missing descriptions on the prompts (which will also see the README needing to be updated).

If there's a model that it works best with, you can specify the model attribute, eg model: GPT-4.1

| ## Core Responsibilities | ||
|
|
||
| 1. **Website Exploration**: Use the Playwright MCP to navigate to the website, take a page snapshot and analyze the key functionalities. Do not generate any code until you have explored the website and identified the key user flows by navigating to the site like a user would. | ||
| 2. **Text Improvements**: When asked to improve tests use the Playwright MCP to navigate to the URL and view the page snapshot. Use the snapshot to identify the correct locators for the tests. You may need to run the development server first. |

minor Based on context of the section should this be Test Improvements instead?
