name	pp-author
description	Slash command — scaffold a new Power Platform Playwright test using the toolkit Page Objects + Playwright MCP for live selector capture. Wraps the pp-playwright-author agent. Always honors CLAUDE.md anti-patterns.

/pp-author — scaffold a new Playwright test

When the user types /pp-author, invoke the pp-playwright-author agent and pass any arguments through.

Argument forms accepted

Form	What the agent does
/pp-author	Asks the user for app type, flow, and pass condition
/pp-author canvas-app "create order for Alfreds Futterkiste, verify in gallery"	Scaffolds a Canvas test for the given flow
/pp-author model-driven-app "open Accounts, sort by name, assert first row"	MDA test using ModelDrivenAppPage.grid
/pp-author custom-page "edit Account address, save, reload, verify persisted"	Custom page test inside MDA
/pp-author gen-ux-runtime "open published Gen UX app, fill form, submit"	Runtime test against GEN_UX_APP_URL

Behaviour

1. Spawn the pp-playwright-author agent.
2. Pass the argument as the agent's brief.
3. The agent walks Steps 1–6:
   • Find the right toolkit Page Object (no raw page.locator)
   • Drive the Playwright MCP server (.mcp.json) for live selectors
   • Apply the CLAUDE.md anti-patterns checklist (§1–§11)
   • Pick the correct test directory + filename
   • Write the test from the standard skeleton
   • Return the file path + a npx playwright test --grep command

When NOT to use

• To run an existing test, use /pp-validate.
• To diagnose a failure, use /pp-diagnose.
• For authentication code — never. playwright-ms-auth handles MSAL; let it.
