Cypress Web UI Automation (workflow)

Operating mode (token-efficient)

• Treat this skill as a router + governor.
• Do not load multiple procedures. Select exactly one procedure below and follow it end-to-end.
• Prefer deterministic tests and actionable failure output.

Routing (pick one procedure)

Shared non-negotiables (apply to all procedures)

1. Stable selectors

   • Prefer data-cy / data-testid attributes.
   • Avoid selectors that depend on layout or auto-generated classnames.

2. No fixed sleeps

   • Do not use cy.wait(1000) as a primary strategy.
   • Use Cypress built-in retry-ability + assertions + cy.intercept() for network readiness.

3. Network control (when appropriate)

   • For non-critical external dependencies, prefer deterministic stubs via cy.intercept().
   • For core integration flows, run against a stable staging environment.

4. Artifact contract (for CI + triage)

   • Standardize under: artifacts/cypress/
   • Store: screenshots, videos (optional), and machine-readable results (e.g., JUnit).

5. No secrets in repo

   • Credentials must come from CI secrets / local env vars.
   • Never commit tokens, cookies, or real user passwords.

Minimal inputs you should capture before changing code

• Target environment(s): local / dev / staging
• Base URL and route(s) to cover
• Auth approach (UI login vs token injection)
• External dependencies that should be stubbed vs real
• Test data strategy (seeded fixtures, dedicated test tenant)

Verification

• If you changed skills:

  • Prefer host-repo tooling if present:
    • node .ai/scripts/lint-skills.cjs --strict
  • Always run the local validator:
    • node .ai/skills/testing/test-web-cypress/scripts/validate-skill.cjs

• If you changed tests/config:

  • npx cypress --version
  • npx cypress verify
  • npx cypress run

Boundaries

• Do not edit .codex/skills/ or .claude/skills/ directly (generated).
• Do not introduce a second Web UI framework if Cypress is the chosen tool for the suite.
• Do not rely on production data or production credentials.
• Do not disable assertions to "make tests pass"; fix the determinism issue.

Reconnaissance-then-action workflow (borrowed)

When adding or debugging Cypress E2E tests:

1. Reconnaissance

   • Confirm the target app is running and reachable.
   • Use the Cypress runner to inspect the rendered DOM.
   • Identify stable selectors (data-cy, data-testid, or roles).
   • Prefer intercepts and explicit assertions over fixed waits.

2. Action

   • Implement the interaction using stable selectors.
   • Assert on outcomes (visible UI state, route, network behavior) rather than layout details.

If Cypress and Playwright skills are both loaded

• Do not attempt to use both frameworks in the same test suite.
• Choose the framework already present in the repo (or explicitly requested by the user) and proceed with that skill's procedures.
