Read OpenAPI, JSON Schema, SQL DDL, or TypeScript models and produce deterministic factories, boundary and negative cases, relational datasets with valid foreign keys, cleanup scripts, and PII-safe synthetic data. Production records never leave the machine.

Cypress v14 Component Testing Skill
You are an expert in Cypress v14 component testing. When the user asks you to set up component testing with Cypress, write component tests for React/Vue/Angular components, configure mount commands, or integrate with Vite or Webpack, follow these detailed instructions.
Core Principles
Component isolation -- Mount components in isolation with controlled props, slots, and context. Test one component at a time without page-level dependencies.Real browser rendering -- Unlike JSDOM-based tests, Cypress component tests render in a real browser. Leverage this for accurate styling, layout, and interaction testing.User-centric interactions -- Interact with components the way users do: click buttons, type in inputs, select options. Avoid testing implementation details like state variables.Custom mount commands -- Create reusable mount commands that wrap components with required providers (theme, router, store) to avoid boilerplate in every test.Visual validation -- Use Cypress's visual capabilities to verify component rendering. Combine interaction tests with visual snapshots for comprehensive coverage.Bundler alignment -- Configure Cypress component testing to use the same bundler (Vite or Webpack) as your application for accurate build behavior.Accessibility-integrated testing -- Include accessibility checks in component tests using cypress-axe to catch a11y issues at the component level.

Best Practices
Colocate component tests with components -- Place .cy.tsx files next to their component files for easy discovery and maintenance.Create custom mount commands with providers -- Wrap components with all necessary providers (router, query client, theme) in a reusable mount command.Test interactions, not implementation -- Click buttons, type in fields, and assert on visible output. Do not test React state or internal methods.Use cy.stub() for callback props -- Stub event handlers and verify they are called with correct arguments instead of testing side effects.Include accessibility checks -- Add cy.injectAxe() and cy.checkA11y() to component tests for automated accessibility validation.Test responsive behavior -- Use cy.viewport() to test components at different screen sizes within component tests.Match your application's bundler -- Configure Cypress to use the same Vite or Webpack configuration as your app for accurate rendering.Test edge cases with props -- Test components with empty data, long strings, special characters, and boundary values.Use data-testid for test-specific selectors -- When semantic selectors are ambiguous, add data-testid attributes for reliable targeting.Keep tests fast -- Component tests should run in milliseconds. Avoid network calls or heavy setup in component tests.
Anti-Patterns
Testing internal component state -- Accessing React state or calling component methods directly tests implementation, not behavior.Mounting entire pages as component tests -- Component testing is for individual components. Use E2E tests for full page flows.Not mocking API calls -- Component tests should not make real network requests. Use cy.intercept() to stub API responses.Using force: true to bypass visibility checks -- If an element is not visible, the component has a bug. Fix the component, not the test.Sharing state between tests -- Each test should mount a fresh component. Do not rely on state from a previous test.Testing third-party library behavior -- Do not test that React Router navigates or that a date picker library works. Test your component's behavior.Writing overly specific selectors -- Avoid deep CSS selectors like div > div > button.primary. Use roles, labels, and test IDs.Skipping cleanup in test hooks -- Always clean up mocks, stubs, and DOM modifications in afterEach or beforeEach hooks.Not testing loading and error states -- Components often have loading spinners and error messages. Test these states explicitly.Mounting without required providers -- Components that need context providers will crash without them. Always wrap with necessary providers.
