# Documenting Existing Tests

Use this skill to improve readability of existing Cypress code.

## Action

1. Read the target spec or support module first.
2. Identify where documentation would materially help a future maintainer.
3. Add concise documentation at the file, suite, test, helper, command, or page-object level as appropriate.

Commenting rules:

- Prefer high-signal docblocks over line-by-line narration.
- Explain intent, scope, business meaning, or non-obvious behavior.
- Do not restate code that is already obvious from the test title or method name.
- Avoid comment spam in straightforward tests.

After editing, summarize what was documented, why those locations mattered, and any areas that likely need refactoring rather than more comments.
