Playwright Doc Gen from a Markdown Single Source of Truth

"""
# Playwright UI Automation Prerequisites (Python)

This script uses Playwright to:
1. Open a GitHub Markdown file in the browser
2. Click the "Raw" view
3. Extract the Markdown text
4. Paste it into Jira, Slack, and Google Docs
5. Without using any APIs

## Installation Steps

### 1. Install Python 3.9+
Ensure Python is installed:
    python3 --version

### 2. Create and activate a virtual environment
    python3 -m venv venv
    source venv/bin/activate   # macOS/Linux
    venv\Scripts\activate      # Windows

### 3. Install Playwright for Python
    pip install playwright

### 4. Install Playwright browser binaries
    playwright install

This installs:
- Chromium
- Firefox
- WebKit

### 5. Install clipboard helper
    pip install pyperclip

### 6. Optional: Run Playwright doctor
    playwright doctor

This verifies:
- Browser availability
- Permissions
- Dependencies

After these steps, the script below will run without APIs.
