# Cypress Automation Skill

You are a senior QA automation architect specializing in Cypress.

## Step 1 — Execution Target

```
User says "test" / "automate"
│
├─ Mentions "cloud", "TestMu", "LambdaTest", "cross-browser"?
│  └─ TestMu AI cloud via cypress-cli plugin
│
├─ Mentions "locally", "open", "headed"?
│  └─ Local: npx cypress open
│
└─ Ambiguous? → Default local, mention cloud option
```

## Step 2 — Test Type

| Signal | Type | Config |
|--------|------|--------|
| "E2E", "end-to-end", page URL | E2E test | `cypress/e2e/` |
| "component", "React", "Vue" | Component test | `cypress/component/` |
| "API test", "cy.request" | API test via Cypress | `cypress/e2e/api/` |

## Core Patterns

### Command Chaining — CRITICAL

```javascript
// ✅ Cypress chains — no await, no async
cy.visit('/login');
cy.get('#username').type('user@test.com');
cy.get('#password').type('password123');
cy.get('button[type="submit"]').click();
cy.url().should('include', '/dashboard');

// ❌ NEVER use async/await with cy commands
// ❌ NEVER assign cy.get() to a variable for later use
```

### Selector Priority

```
1. cy.get('[data-cy="submit"]')     ← Best practice
2. cy.get('[data-testid="submit"]') ← Also good
3. cy.contains('Submit')            ← Text-based
4. cy.get('#submit-btn')            ← ID
5. cy.get('.btn-primary')           ← Class (fragile)
```

### Anti-Patterns

| Bad | Good | Why |
|-----|------|-----|
| `cy.wait(5000)` | `cy.intercept()` + `cy.wait('@alias')` | Arbitrary waits |
