Write or revise Cucumber scenarios for a feature that already runs, then walk each one in the live app with Playwright and correct it to match what the app does. Use to write test scenarios, or to check that existing scenarios still match the app. Doesn't file anything in the tracker; hand the result to create-xray-test. For a new epic that isn't built yet, use shape-epic.

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

# Live-Verified BDD Test Writing

Write Cucumber/Gherkin scenarios and check each one in the running app before calling them done. Every scenario is walked through in the browser with Playwright. The app is the source of truth, not the code.

## When to Use

- Writing scenarios for a feature that already runs
- Checking that existing scenarios still match what the app does
- The user says "write tests", "BDD", "Cucumber", "Gherkin" or "E2E test cases" for something that's built

## When Not to Use

- **Filing scenarios as the team's tests:** the tests adapter's "Create a test" does that. This skill hands off to it at the end.
- **A new epic that isn't built yet:** there's no app to check against. `shape-epic` writes those scenarios from the prototype.

This file holds the Gherkin style guide that the other skills follow.

**First, load the team config with `roost-config`.** `stack.services` gives the app's URLs, and `qa.test_account_email` the pattern for test accounts.

## Workflow

### Phase 1: Gather Context

Ask the user for:
1. **What to test** — feature name, ticket, or area of the app
2. **Scope** — which vendors/entities/flows to include (avoid testing everything)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add beakpoint-insights/roost/live-verified-bdd@sha256:d486b9e8698c2609

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.505a1da, 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.
