cypress-flake-fixer from github/awesome-copilot is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Find and fix flake-prone anti-patterns in an existing Cypress suite, and APIs removed in Cypress 12 to 16. Bundles a zero-dependency scanner for fixed cy.wait() delays, assigned command return values, async/await, force: true, chaining after actions, one-shot expect() inside .then(), conditional testing, and removed APIs such as Cypress.env(), cy.exec(), cy.server()/cy.route(). Use when asked to fix flaky Cypress tests, remove cy.wait, stabilize or harden a Cypress suite, audit Cypress specs…
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
# Cypress Flake Fixer
Audit an existing Cypress suite for the code patterns that cause intermittent failures, then fix them without hiding the problem behind retries, longer timeouts, or `force: true`.
## When to Use This Skill
- A Cypress spec passes locally and fails in CI, or fails once in every few runs
- The suite contains `cy.wait(<number>)`, `{ force: true }`, or tests that only pass in order
- Errors mention "detached from the DOM", "timed out retrying", or a subject that "is no longer attached"
- The project is upgrading Cypress across a major version (12 through 16)
- A review of Cypress test code is requested
For writing new Cypress tests from scratch, coding standards are enough. This skill is for diagnosing and repairing an existing suite.
## Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later to run the scanner (it has no dependencies and does not need Cypress installed)
- The Cypress version, read from `package.json`. Fixes differ by major version
## Workflow
### 1. Scan
```bash
node ./scripts/scan-cypress.mjs <project-root>
node ./scripts/scan-cypress.mjs <project-root> --json # machine-readable

How to install
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/cypress-flake-fixer@sha256:bbcc3720a59fcb3bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.638657f, 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.
