Cypress AI Toolkit Skills
Author, explain, research, and investigate Cypress tests with official tooling guidance.
Cypress publishes five Skills for test writing, suite explanation, documentation lookup, running open-mode sessions, and investigating Cypress Cloud results. The complete skills directory is part of its broader toolkit.
Use cases
- Write or repair Cypress tests
- Explain brittle tests and research Cypress behavior
- Investigate local sessions or Cloud failures
How to use
Start with the test, failure, or documentation question. Use the upstream plugin for bundled configuration; interactive and Cloud workflows need their corresponding Cypress tools.
Skills
cypress-author
Creates, updates, and fixes Cypress tests (E2E/end-to-end and component tests). Use when the user asks to create tests, add tests, write tests, update tests, test this file/component, new spec, or fix a failing or flaky test. Apply even when the user does not say 'Cypress' (e.g. 'create tests for this file'). Prefer cypress-explain when the user only wants to explain or review tests without changing code.
cypress-io/ai-toolkitcypress-cloud-cli
Runs the cy-cloud CLI to inspect Cypress Cloud organizations, projects, runs, specs, tests, failure screenshots, and Test Replay data. Use when the user mentions Cypress Cloud, cy-cloud, cypress-cloud-cli, a Cloud run or test URL, failing or flaky Cypress tests, Test Replay, run triage, Cloud artifacts, or asks why a recorded test failed.
cypress-io/ai-toolkitcypress-docs
Search and extract Cypress information from official documentation (docs.cypress.io, cypress.io); prefer LLM markdown under /llm/* and refuse unverified API or behavior claims.
cypress-io/ai-toolkitcypress-explain
Explains Cypress tests (E2E and component tests), and answers questions about Cypress use and behavior. Use when the user asks to explain how a test works, explain how Cypress works, review or critique a test without writing code. Apply even when the user does not say 'Cypress' (e.g. 'explain this test'). Prefer the cypress-author skill when the user wants to create, fix, or update tests.
cypress-io/ai-toolkitcypress-tap
Drives a running Cypress open-mode session through `cypress tap` to run and rerun specs, wait for fresh results, inspect reporter and command logs, and query or rewind the app under test through DOM, accessibility, styles, and snapshots. Use when authoring or debugging Cypress e2e or component specs, discovering selectors, diagnosing failures, or verifying test behavior without GUI interaction. Not for one-shot headless runs. Requires Cypress 15.21+, a Chromium-family browser, and a running `cypress open` session.
