test-automation SKILL.md skillB

test-automation from upex-galaxy/agentic-qa-boilerplate is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add upex-galaxy/agentic-qa-boilerplate/test-automation@git:20261104.10059d0

Pins git:20261104.10059d0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Plan, write, and review automated tests following KATA (Komponent Action Test Architecture) on Playwright + TypeScript, or explain existing automated tests in a sealed read-only mode. Use when writing E2E or API/integration tests, creating Page or Api components, designing ATCs, parameterizing test data, registering fixtures, reviewing test code for KATA compliance, or requesting break-down-tests / a plain-English test breakdown. The explain mode reads source and renders an HTML breakdown of…

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

## Forbidden invocations

**NEVER invoke `/sdd-*` skills from this workflow.** SDD is an optional
user-installed ceremony; this skill ships self-contained and does not chain
SDD under any condition. If you need to refactor KATA, fixtures, cli/,
scripts/, or api/schemas/ pipeline, exit this skill first and invoke
`/framework-development` — which itself runs Plan → Code → Verify → Archive
natively (no SDD required).

This boundary is mechanical, not advisory: `scripts/lint-skills.ts` rejects
any `/sdd-` mention outside this section. See:
`.agents/skills/agentic-qa-core/references/skill-composition-strategy.md` §4
(governs users who manually install SDD).

# Test Automation — Plan, Code, Review

Produce KATA-compliant automated tests for an existing Playwright + TypeScript project. Three phases, always in this order: **Plan → Code → Review**. Never jump straight to code.

KATA (Komponent Action Test Architecture) rewires the usual Page Object pattern. If you write tests the "standard" way, most will be rejected at review. Load the relevant reference before writing code in that area.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add upex-galaxy/agentic-qa-boilerplate/test-automation@sha256:46d8e955e5fd0513

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.10059d0, 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.
