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 | $0.00185 | $0.04226 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00074 | $0.01690 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00037 | $0.00845 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00423 |
Grade A, and why
cypress-automation 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 2mo ago.
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.

Quick Route
| You need to... | Go to |
|---|---|
| Write an E2E spec (load, intercept, assert) | Core Principles + references/intercept-patterns.md |
Add a typed custom command / cy.session login |
Custom Commands + references/config-and-commands.md |
| Mount and test a single component | Component Testing + references/component-and-fixtures.md |
Scaffold cypress.config.ts / project layout |
Project Structure + references/config-and-commands.md |
| Stub, spy, simulate errors, or poll an API | cy.intercept Patterns + references/intercept-patterns.md |
| Run in CI / parallelize on Cypress Cloud | CI Integration + references/ci-recipes.md |
| Handle an SSO / OAuth redirect | Cross-Origin Flows + references/intercept-patterns.md |
Discovery Questions
Check .agents/qa-project-context.md first -- if it exists, use it and skip questions already answered there.
- Component testing, E2E, or both? Component testing mounts individual components in isolation; E2E tests the full app through the browser. Most projects need both. Component testing requires a framework-specific mount (React, Vue, Angular, Svelte).
- Cypress Cloud? Cloud provides parallelization, flake detection, analytics, Test Replay, and the AI add-on. If the team uses it, configure
projectIdand the record key. If not, everything runs locally or in CI without Cloud. - TypeScript? Strongly recommended and the default here -- Cypress supports it natively. All examples use TypeScript.
- Framework and bundler? React + Vite, Next.js + Webpack, Vue + Vite, Angular -- component-testing config depends on this.
- Cross-origin auth? If login redirects to a separate domain (SSO, OAuth provider), you need
cy.origin. Note it now so the login command is built for it. - Existing suite or fresh start? If migrating, start with the flakiest or most critical tests, not a big-bang rewrite (see
test-migration).
What ships with it
4 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-automation is a skill published in the GitHub repository petrkindlmann/qa-skills (250 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 185 tokens to every session and 4,226 once invoked, about $0.0007 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.
