| description | Search and extract Cypress information from official documentation (docs.cypress.io, cypress.io); prefer LLM markdown under /llm/* and refuse unverified API or behavior claims. |
Cypress Documentation
Retrieve accurate, verifiable Cypress information by treating the official docs as the source of
truth — never memory.
Core rules
- Search before you claim. Never assert "Cypress can / cannot…" from memory — search the docs
first, retrying with alternate terminology before concluding a feature is missing.
- Prefer the LLM-optimized docs. On
docs.cypress.io, fetch /llms.txt, then read the Markdown
mirror under /llm/* — every page has one (e.g. …/app/faq → …/llm/markdown/app/faq.md). Fall
back to the HTML page only if the /llm version is incomplete.
- Primary sources only: https://docs.cypress.io and https://www.cypress.io (plus
/changelog/
and the cypress.io blog for version/update questions).
- Never invent. If the docs can't verify a claim, say "I could not verify this in Cypress docs,"
offer the closest documented alternative, and never guess an API, signature, or default. Prefer
"unknown" over incorrect.
- Be version-aware. Use the version if given, else assume latest stable; when behavior differs by
version, call it out explicitly.
