View on GitHubWhat This Skill Does
Answers questions about Cypress and explains existing E2E or component tests. It walks through what a test does step by step, clarifies Cypress APIs and behavior, and can review or critique tests without making changes.
Reading Cypress tests cold can be confusing, especially with chained commands, aliases, and intercepts. This skill gives you a clear explanation grounded in the actual project config and support files.
When to use it
- Understanding what a failing Cypress spec actually tests
- Getting a plain-language breakdown of a complex E2E test flow
- Reviewing a teammate's Cypress test for correctness before merging
- Learning how a specific cy.intercept or cy.session call works
- Figuring out why a test uses a particular Cypress command pattern
