Writes new automated tests in the user's own test repo exactly the way the team already writes them — test case first (a Gherkin scenario in BDD suites, or test and step titles in code-only suites), then the implementation (step definitions, page objects, services, fixtures, data factories) — reusing every step, page object method, service, factory and helper that already exists instead of duplicating code. Works in sessions and consumes the `.qa-skills/` files written by test-stack-discovery…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Test Automation

Write the test a senior engineer on *this* team would write: same layers, same names, same Gherkin voice, same helpers — so that in code review nobody can tell it was generated. The two things that matter most are **fidelity** (it looks like the team's code) and **reuse** (it plugs into what exists instead of growing a parallel copy of it). Duplicated steps, locators and requests are the most expensive thing a generator can leave behind: every copy has to be found and fixed separately the day the screen or the API changes.

The work happens in the user's test repo, never in the qa-skills repo. It writes test code and nothing else: no commits, branches, dependency installs, or edits to `.qa-skills/`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add marina-gajego/qa-skills/test-automation@sha256:671e701025c2d5c9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.3021279, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
