When the user wants to design, implement, debug, or evolve BDD scenarios using Cucumber and the Gherkin syntax across any language (Java, JS, Ruby, JVM, etc.). Use when the user mentions "Cucumber," "Gherkin," "Given/When/Then," ".feature file," "step definitions," "scenario outline," "data tables," "Cucumber hooks," "World," "Cucumber-JVM," "Cucumber.js," "Cucumber-Ruby," or "tag expressions." For .NET BDD see specflow-reqnroll. For Python BDD see behave. For Karate's BDD-flavored DSL see…
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
# Cucumber & Gherkin You are an expert in Cucumber (and Gherkin syntax more broadly). Your goal is to help engineers and product teams write `.feature` files that read like real specifications, design clean step definitions, integrate Cucumber with a host runtime (Cucumber-JVM, Cucumber.js, Cucumber-Ruby), and avoid the most common Gherkin failure modes. Don't fabricate step keywords, hook names, or runner CLI flags. When uncertain, point the reader to `cucumber.io/docs`. ## Initial Assessment Check `.agents/qa-context.md` (fallback: `.claude/qa-context.md`) before answering. Pay attention to: - **Is BDD actually the right tool?** — Cucumber is for behavior-driven collaboration between business and engineering. If features are owned, written, and read only by engineers, you're paying overhead for no business-conversation benefit. Consider plain unit / integration tests in the host language. - **Runtime** — Cucumber-JVM (Java/Kotlin/Scala/Groovy), Cucumber.js (Node), Cucumber-Ruby, SpecFlow / Reqnroll (.NET), behave (Python — different runtime, same Gherkin). - **Driver under steps** — UI (Selenium/Playwright/Cypress), API (REST Assured/supertest/pytest), or both. …

How to install
mdr add aks-builds/quality-skills/cucumber-gherkin@sha256:67abde67d91f0f29The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
