Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00113 | $0.02722 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00045 | $0.01089 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00544 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00272 |
Grade A, and why
cypress-tap scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 191 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Driving Cypress with cypress tap
cypress tap controls an already-running cypress open session. Use it to iterate on specs,
inspect the reporter and command log, and read the app under test without GUI interaction.
Use cypress run instead for a one-shot headless batch.
Core loop
npx cypress tap sessions # confirm a session; note pid if several exist
npx cypress tap status # baseline startedAt + spec
npx cypress tap run cypress/e2e/foo.cy.ts # async — returns immediately
# poll status until passed|failed for your spec with a changed startedAt
npx cypress tap reporter
npx cypress tap reporter --test-id r3 # one test: log, network, stubs, error
run is asynchronous. A stale verdict matches a fresh one on every field except startedAt,
and a watcher rerun of the selected spec can advance startedAt without running your file.
Gate on startedAt, spec, and a terminal status. Do not wait to observe running — fast
specs can finish between polls. Copy-paste poller:
session-lifecycle.md. JSON field helpers:
json-recipes.md.
In poll loops, prefer ./node_modules/.bin/cypress tap … over npx cypress tap … when the
project pins Cypress.
Prerequisites
- Confirm from package metadata or the lockfile that the resolved Cypress is 15.21.0+ and
contains
tap. Do not usetap --helpto probe an unknown older build; prereleases below the version floor may attempt session discovery instead of printing help. - The session must use Electron, Chrome, Chromium, or Edge. Firefox and WebKit are unsupported.
cypress openand any configuredbaseUrldev server must already be running.- The cwd chooses both the Cypress binary and the automatically selected session. When the
target project pins an older Cypress, run
tapfrom a compatible checkout and pass--session <pid>on every call.
Route by task
- Start, select, or poll a session: read session-lifecycle.md.
- Run a spec or read its results: read session-lifecycle.md and reading-results.md.
- Author or inspect a spec: read recipes.md and reading-the-app.md.
- Diagnose a failure: read recipes.md, reading-results.md, and reading-the-app.md.
- Command failure, hang, wrong project, or surprising output: read troubleshooting.md.
- Parse
--jsonor script a poll: read json-recipes.md. - One noninteractive batch: use
cypress run, nottap.
What ships with it
6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

cypress-tap is a skill published in the GitHub repository cypress-io/ai-toolkit (47 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 113 tokens to every session and 2,722 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
