Deeply explore a live app feature or a single mapped sub-feature and capture grounded evidence for downstream planning in `docs/qa/exploration-report.md` or a scoped file under `docs/qa/exploration/`. Use after the requested scope is already known, especially after `map-feature-scope` has identified bounded sub-features for a large feature. This skill owns observed product evidence and blockers for the scoped area; it does not perform feature decomposition, frame exploratory charters, prioritize risks, or write coverage plans.
Quickly map a broad product feature into concrete sub-features before deep exploration begins. Use when a requested feature may span multiple routes, tabs, overlays, roles, or primary interactive surfaces and the agent needs to identify bounded exploration units, shared state, and blockers before spawning parallel browser subagents. This skill owns `docs/qa/feature-map.md`; it does not produce the final deep exploration evidence, coverage plan, or test specs.
Define an exploratory testing charter: frame what to investigate, why it matters, and which risk hypotheses to test before or alongside the shared testing workflow. Triggers include "exploratory testing for...", "what should I investigate in this app", "help me think about what could go wrong", "risk hypotheses for...", "testing charter for...", "where should I probe deeper", or any request that needs structured thinking about test intent before coverage planning begins. This skill owns exploratory intent, risk framing, investigation order, and concrete follow-up asks for missing evidence; it does NOT own exploration evidence (capture-feature-evidence), final coverage prioritization (plan-test-coverage), or test case specs (generate-test-cases).
THE DEFAULT ENTRY POINT for the Playwright execution layer in the split testing suite. Use to add, create, or set up Playwright end-to-end tests for a feature, page, or application. It orchestrates the full Playwright workflow after shared exploration and planning: analyze the Playwright codebase, consume `docs/qa/feature-map.md`, `docs/qa/exploration-report.md`, `docs/qa/coverage-plan.md`, and `docs/qa/test-cases/*.md`, write production-grade test code, review it, and verify it with real execution. Delegates to `analyze-test-codebase`, `write-test-code`, `review-test-code`, and `fix-flaky-tests`, while relying on shared `map-feature-scope`, `capture-feature-evidence`, `plan-test-coverage`, `generate-test-cases`, and `review-test-cases`.
Scans and reports on an existing Playwright test codebase. This skill should be used to inspect the current Playwright setup before writing, reviewing, or fixing tests, and should be loaded early when working in a new project to understand existing patterns. Covers: Playwright config, page objects, fixtures, helpers, auth/globalSetup patterns, test conventions, and directory structure. Triggers: "understand", "check", "show me", "inspect", or "analyze" the current test setup, config, infrastructure, patterns, or conventions. In the full add-tests workflow, this skill serves as an early read-only analysis sub-step before planning detailed coverage or writing code. This skill examines existing files and outputs a structured report. It does NOT write or fix tests, install Playwright, or explore live websites — for live-site exploration, use `capture-feature-evidence` so evidence is captured in `docs/qa/exploration-report.md`.
Quality review of Playwright test code before final execution signoff. This skill should be used when implementation review of executable Playwright tests is needed, not for diagnosis of runtime flakiness. Triggers: "review test code", "review Playwright tests", "check test quality", "audit test implementation", "review my tests before merging", "check test code for issues", "review e2e tests", "code review Playwright", "are my tests stable", "check for brittle selectors", "review before running tests". Quality gate after write-test-code — catches brittle selectors, force:true misuse, networkidle overuse, Tailwind utility class selectors, exact numeric assertions, missing teardown, parallel-unsafe mutations, hardcoded data, missing assertions, test coupling, and convention divergence. Review-only — does NOT rewrite tests, does NOT run tests. Use fix-flaky-tests for fixing, write-test-code for rewriting.
This skill should be used when writing, refactoring, or modifying Playwright E2E test code. It covers creating test files from TC-ID specs, converting browser exploration results to executable tests, refactoring locators or fixtures, adding API mocking, test data setup/teardown, and parallel-safe isolation. Includes locator strategy hierarchy, auth setup patterns, fixture design, teardown strategies, and network interception recipes. Triggers: "write a test for", "add a test case", "refactor this locator", "add error path tests", "convert specs to code", "add API mocking", "set up auth for tests". NOT for: full pipeline from scratch (use add-playwright-tests), shared live-site exploration (use capture-feature-evidence), generating specs without code (use plan-test-coverage or generate-test-cases), diagnosing flaky tests (use fix-flaky-tests).
Use to define impact-based regression scope for a release, hotfix, changed area, or risky feature: decide what should be rerun beyond smoke, why it belongs in regression, and how deep each area should go. Triggers include "regression scope for...", "what should we rerun after this change", "what belongs in release regression", "impact-based rerun plan", "high-risk regression plan", "what's beyond smoke", or "pre-release regression checklist". This skill owns regression intent, included areas, and rerun depth; it does NOT own live exploration, shared coverage planning, detailed TC-ID specs, or framework-specific automation.
