e2e-testing

e2e-testing is a skill for Claude Code from ivegamsft/basecoat. It costs 88 tokens per session (463 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to building reliable end-to-end tests with Playwright or Cypress. End-to-end tests imitate a real user journey, such as logging in or checking out, across a running application and browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test login and checkout journeys, choose between Playwright and Cypress, plan cross-browser coverage, create fixtures and mocks, and structure CI test runs.
Why use it?
Browser tests can be flaky when they use fragile selectors, poor waits, or unstable test data. This guide helps choose a framework, reduce failures, and connect browser coverage to CI, the automated build and test service.

Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

e2e-testing 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.

E2E Testing Skill

Design reliable, maintainable end-to-end coverage for critical user journeys. Choose the right framework, define resilient selectors and waits, and connect browser tests to CI pipelines without creating brittle suites.

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.
