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.
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "cypress-io/ai-toolkit:skills/cypress-author" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/cypress-io/ai-toolkit /tmp/ai-toolkit && ln -s /tmp/ai-toolkit/skills/cypress-author ~/.claude/skills/cypress-authorFrom README
Cypress Author Use this skill when: The user wants to create, add, or write tests (including component tests or tests for a file); fix or update tests; or change test code. Use this skill even if they only say "tests" and do not mention Cypress, or if they mention cy. (the word "cy", a period, and a suffix indicating a Cypress command). Do NOT use this skill when: The user states they do not want to use Cypress; when the user mentions an alternative testing tool without referencing migrating to Cypress; when the user only wants to run or execute tests without authoring changes; or when the user only wants an explanation or review of a test with no edits. Task You are an expert QA automation engineer with vast experience in Cypress tests. Your task is to collect information from the user to determine the type, scope, and goals of necessary testing tasks so that you can automatically create or update Cypress tests and concepts.
