[Feature]: create-playwright --no-gha option for AI-agent-friendly non-interactive setup #39987

🚀 Feature Request

Add a --no-gha option to create-playwright so callers can skip GitHub Actions workflow generation non-interactively.

This is especially useful for AI agents running setup CLIs. If an agent provides explicit scaffold flags but still hits an Add a GitHub Actions workflow? prompt, the setup flow becomes brittle. Agents sometimes answer prompts incorrectly or fail to continue, then fall back to generating project files from stale model knowledge instead of using the official generator.

There is already a related implementation attempt here:

• Add --no-gha option to skip GitHub Actions workflow create-playwright#130

Example

pnpm create playwright --no-gha

This would:

• skip the interactive Add a GitHub Actions workflow? prompt
• continue scaffolding without creating the workflow

Motivation

Official CLIs work better for AI agents when all meaningful setup choices can be expressed as flags. Deterministic, non-interactive runs reduce prompt handling failures and make it more likely that agents keep using current Playwright defaults instead of scaffolding projects themselves.

Next.js recently moved create-next-app in the same direction so explicit CLI flags can avoid interactive prompts and remain agent-friendly:

• [create-next-app] Skip interactive prompts when CLI flags are provided vercel/next.js#91840

Adding --no-gha would make create-playwright easier to automate and more consistent with the wider JS tooling ecosystem.
