projectId and the record key. If not, everything runs locally or in CI without Cloud.cy.origin. Note it now so the login command is built for it.test-migration).The single most important concept. Cypress commands (cy.get, cy.click, cy.type) do not execute when called -- they are added to a queue and run serially, asynchronously. You cannot use async/await with Cypress commands, and you cannot store the return value in a variable.
// WRONG -- this looks synchronous but is not
const button = cy.get('[data-testid="submit"]'); // button is a Chainable, not an element
button.click(); // works only by accident, via chaining
// CORRECT -- chain commands; use .then() when you need a value
cy.get('[data-testid="submit"]').click();
cy.get('[data-testid="price"]').invoke('text').then((text) => {
const price = parseFloat(text.replace('$', ''));
expect(price).to.be.greaterThan(0);
});
Cypress automatically retries queries (cy.get, cy.find, cy.contains) and assertions until they pass or time out. It does not retry actions (cy.click, cy.type, cy.select):
cy.get('.loading').should('not.exist') waits for the indicator to disappearcy.get('.item').should('have.length', 5) waits for 5 itemscy.click() executes once -- if the element is not actionable, it failscy.intercept intercepts HTTP requests at the network layer -- stub responses, wait for requests to complete, assert on request bodies. Mastering it is the difference between flaky and stable tests. Always wait on a network alias or a DOM assertion, never a fixed cy.wait(ms).
Every it() runs in fresh browser state -- Cypress clears cookies, localStorage, and sessionStorage between tests by default. Tests must not depend on other tests' state or order. Use beforeEach for shared setup, not inter-test dependencies.
Use data-testid, data-cy, or data-test. They survive CSS refactors, class renames, and localization. Configure the preferred attribute in cypress.config.ts.
Standard layout splits e2e/, component/, fixtures/, and support/, with cypress.config.ts at the root configuring both runners. Key config choices: baseUrl from env (never hardcode for CI), explicit viewport, retries.runMode: 2 for CI, and the framework/bundler pair under component.devServer. Component specs live under cypress/component/**/*.cy.tsx.
See references/config-and-commands.md for the directory tree, the complete cypress.config.ts, and the tsconfig.json additions.
Custom commands encapsulate repeated actions behind a clean, typed API. Common commands: login (via cy.session + API, not UI), a getByTestId selector shorthand, and assertion helpers like shouldShowToast. Declare them in cypress/support/index.d.ts (declare namespace Cypress { interface Chainable { ... } } with JSDoc @example) so they get autocomplete and compile-time checking.
cy.session needs a validate() callback. cy.session caches cookies/localStorage/sessionStorage automatically, but without validate() the cached session is never re-verified -- a stale or expired token silently reuses a dead session. Always pass a validate() that hits an authenticated endpoint (e.g. cy.request('/api/me').its('status').should('eq', 200)).
Retryable lookups use Cypress.Commands.addQuery(), and the callback must be a non-arrow function () {} -- Cypress binds this to apply the command timeout, so an arrow function silently breaks retry-ability. (Intercept handlers are the opposite: (req) => {} is fine there because they do not use this.)
See references/config-and-commands.md for the full command definitions, the validate() callback, the addQuery example, and the TypeScript declarations.
cy.intercept covers the full network-control surface:
{ statusCode, body }, then cy.wait('@alias').cy.intercept('POST', '/api/orders').as('createOrder'), then assert on interception.request.body and interception.response?.statusCode.callCount to simulate polling (202 → 200). The handler arrow function (req) => { ... } is correct here.{ statusCode: 500 }, { forceNetworkError: true }, or req.reply({ delay }) for slow responses.req.continue((res) => { ...; res.send(); }).{ fixture: 'api-responses/checkout-success.json' }.Register the intercept before the action that triggers the request, or the alias never matches.
See references/intercept-patterns.md for runnable code for each, plus cross-origin flows.
Component testing mounts a single component in a real browser without running the full app -- faster than E2E, more visual feedback than unit tests. Use cy.mount(<Component .../>), pass cy.stub()/cy.spy() for callbacks, and assert with the same cy.contains/cy.get chain you use in E2E. Never use cy.visit in a component test. For Vue, use cy.mount(Component, { props: { ... } }).
See references/component-and-fixtures.md for a full React ProductCard component-test suite.
Three layers, depending on where the data comes from:
cy.fixture('users').as('users') for JSON that rarely changes; read it via this.users in a beforeEach(function () { ... }).cy.task — register Node-side tasks in setupNodeEvents for API calls or DB seeding that must run outside the browser (task bodies run in Node, so fetch there is Node's global fetch, not a Cypress API).baseUrl map in setupNodeEvents, selected by --env ENVIRONMENT=....See references/component-and-fixtures.md for the fixture, cy.task seeding, and env-config code.
For legitimate redirects to another domain (SSO, OAuth providers, a separate auth host), wrap the commands that run on the other origin in cy.origin. This replaced the old chromeWebSecurity: false / experimentalSessionAndOrigin escape hatches -- do not disable web security to work around a redirect. This is distinct from third-party payment iframes (Stripe/PayPal), which you stub with cy.intercept and never reach into.
See references/intercept-patterns.md (Cross-Origin Flows) for the cy.origin example.
Action version: pin to cypress-io/github-action@v7 (latest 7.2.0, May 2026). v7 runs under Node 24 and is the current major; use @v6 only on a Node 20 runner (the legacy branch).
Cypress / Node support: Current is Cypress 15.x, which supports Node 20, 22, and 24 (Node 18 and 23 dropped). Node 20 removal is a future Cypress 16 / action-v7.2 concern tracking the Node 20 EOL (2026-04-30), not something Cypress 15 did.
projectId, run npx cypress run --record --key $CYPRESS_RECORD_KEY, and parallelize across a container matrix (fail-fast: false) for flake detection, Test Replay, and analytics.cypress-io/github-action@v7 with build/start/wait-on, and upload cypress/screenshots + cypress/videos as artifacts on failure.See references/ci-recipes.md for both complete GitHub Actions workflows.
Cypress AI (paid Cloud add-on, GA 2026) ships Auto Heal (selector self-healing), AI Test Generation, and AI Bug Triage. Now GA and worth knowing: cy.prompt (English-to-test authoring with runtime self-healing) and Cloud MCP (GA May 2026, free on all Cloud plans) — an MCP server that feeds recorded-run errors, stack traces, and Test Replay links to your AI assistant. This overlaps test-reliability (selector healing), ai-bug-triage (failure clustering), and ai-test-generation (authoring). If the team is already on Cypress Cloud, buying the add-on may be cheaper than building the equivalent -- flag it during framework selection.
// BAD
cy.get('[data-testid="submit"]').click();

// GOOD -- wait for network

<objective>
Production-grade Cypress test suites in TypeScript. The failure this prevents: tests written as if Cypress commands ran synchronously (storing `cy.get()` in a variable, `await cy.click()`), and tests that flake because they wait on `cy.wait(3000)` instead of a network alias. This skill covers the mental model (command queue, retry-ability), project structure, custom commands, network control with `cy.intercept`, component testing, cross-origin auth with `cy.origin`, and Cypress Cloud / CI integration.

## Discovery Questions
Check `.agents/qa-project-context.md` first -- if it exists, use it and skip questions already answered there.
1. **Component testing, E2E, or both?** Component testing mounts individual components in isolation; E2E tests the full app through the browser. Most projects need both. Component testing requires a framework-specific mount (React, Vue, Angular, Svelte).
2. **Cypress Cloud?** Cloud provides parallelization, flake detection, analytics, Test Replay, and the AI add-on. If the team uses it, configure `projectId` and the record key. If not, everything runs locally or in CI without Cloud.
3. **TypeScript?** Strongly recommended and the default here -- Cypress supports it natively. All examples use TypeScript.
4. **Framework and bundler?** React + Vite, Next.js + Webpack, Vue + Vite, Angular -- component-testing config depends on this.
5. **Cross-origin auth?** If login redirects to a separate domain (SSO, OAuth provider), you need `cy.origin`. Note it now so the login command is built for it.
6. **Existing suite or fresh start?** If migrating, start with the flakiest or most critical tests, not a big-bang rewrite (see `test-migration`).
---
## Core Principles
### 1. Commands Are Enqueued, Not Executed Immediately
The single most important concept. Cypress commands (`cy.get`, `cy.click`, `cy.type`) do not execute when called -- they are added to a queue and run serially, asynchronously. You cannot use `async/await` with Cypress commands, and you cannot store the return value in a variable.
```typescript
// WRONG -- this looks synchronous but is not
const button = cy.get('[data-testid="submit"]'); // button is a Chainable, not an element
button.click(); // works only by accident, via chaining
// CORRECT -- chain commands; use .then() when you need a value
cy.get('[data-testid="submit"]').click();
cy.get('[data-testid="price"]').invoke('text').then((text) => {
const price = parseFloat(text.replace('$', ''));
expect(price).to.be.greaterThan(0);
});
```
### 2. Retry-ability Is Built-In (For Queries, Not Actions)
Cypress automatically retries **queries** (`cy.get`, `cy.find`, `cy.contains`) and **assertions** until they pass or time out. It does **not** retry **actions** (`cy.click`, `cy.type`, `cy.select`):
- `cy.get('.loading').should('not.exist')` waits for the indicator to disappear
- `cy.get('.item').should('have.length', 5)` waits for 5 items
- `cy.click()` executes once -- if the element is not actionable, it fails
### 3. Network Control with cy.intercept
`cy.intercept` intercepts HTTP requests at the network layer -- stub responses, wait for requests to complete, assert on request bodies. Mastering it is the difference between flaky and stable tests. Always wait on a network alias or a DOM assertion, never a fixed `cy.wait(ms)`.
### 4. Isolation: Each Test Starts Clean
Every `it()` runs in fresh browser state -- Cypress clears cookies, localStorage, and sessionStorage between tests by default. Tests must not depend on other tests' state or order. Use `beforeEach` for shared setup, not inter-test dependencies.
### 5. Data Attributes for Test Selectors
Use `data-testid`, `data-cy`, or `data-test`. They survive CSS refactors, class renames, and localization. Configure the preferred attribute in `cypress.config.ts`.
---
## Project Structure & Configuration
Standard layout splits `e2e/`, `component/`, `fixtures/`, and `support/`, with `cypress.config.ts` at the root configuring both runners. Key config choices: `baseUrl` from env (never hardcode for CI), explicit viewport, `retries.runMode: 2` for CI, and the framework/bundler pair under `component.devServer`. Component specs live under `cypress/component/**/*.cy.tsx`.
See `references/config-and-commands.md` for the directory tree, the complete `cypress.config.ts`, and the `tsconfig.json` additions.
---
## Custom Commands
Custom commands encapsulate repeated actions behind a clean, typed API. Common commands: `login` (via `cy.session` + API, not UI), a `getByTestId` selector shorthand, and assertion helpers like `shouldShowToast`. Declare them in `cypress/support/index.d.ts` (`declare namespace Cypress { interface Chainable { ... } }` with JSDoc `@example`) so they get autocomplete and compile-time checking.
**`cy.session` needs a `validate()` callback.** `cy.session` caches cookies/localStorage/sessionStorage automatically, but without `validate()` the cached session is never re-verified -- a stale or expired token silently reuses a dead session. Always pass a `validate()` that hits an authenticated endpoint (e.g. `cy.request('/api/me').its('status').should('eq', 200)`).
**Retryable lookups use `Cypress.Commands.addQuery()`, and the callback must be a non-arrow `function () {}`** -- Cypress binds `this` to apply the command timeout, so an arrow function silently breaks retry-ability. (Intercept handlers are the opposite: `(req) => {}` is fine there because they do not use `this`.)
See `references/config-and-commands.md` for the full command definitions, the `validate()` callback, the `addQuery` example, and the TypeScript declarations.
---
## cy.intercept Patterns
`cy.intercept` covers the full network-control surface:
- **Stub a response** — return canned data with `{ statusCode, body }`, then `cy.wait('@alias')`.
- **Spy without stubbing** — `cy.intercept('POST', '/api/orders').as('createOrder')`, then assert on `interception.request.body` and `interception.response?.statusCode`.
- **Conditional responses** — drive a closure with `callCount` to simulate polling (202 → 200). The handler arrow function `(req) => { ... }` is correct here.
- **Network errors** — `{ statusCode: 500 }`, `{ forceNetworkError: true }`, or `req.reply({ delay })` for slow responses.
- **Modify real responses** — `req.continue((res) => { ...; res.send(); })`.
- **Fixture-backed** — `{ fixture: 'api-responses/checkout-success.json' }`.
Register the intercept **before** the action that triggers the request, or the alias never matches.
See `references/intercept-patterns.md` for runnable code for each, plus cross-origin flows.
---
## Component Testing
Component testing mounts a single component in a real browser without running the full app -- faster than E2E, more visual feedback than unit tests. Use `cy.mount(<Component .../>)`, pass `cy.stub()`/`cy.spy()` for callbacks, and assert with the same `cy.contains`/`cy.get` chain you use in E2E. Never use `cy.visit` in a component test. For Vue, use `cy.mount(Component, { props: { ... } })`.
See `references/component-and-fixtures.md` for a full React `ProductCard` component-test suite.
---
## Data-Driven Testing with Fixtures
Three layers, depending on where the data comes from:
- **Static fixtures** — `cy.fixture('users').as('users')` for JSON that rarely changes; read it via `this.users` in a `beforeEach(function () { ... })`.
- **Dynamic data via `cy.task`** — register Node-side tasks in `setupNodeEvents` for API calls or DB seeding that must run outside the browser (task bodies run in Node, so `fetch` there is Node's global fetch, not a Cypress API).
- **Environment-specific config** — merge a per-environment `baseUrl` map in `setupNodeEvents`, selected by `--env ENVIRONMENT=...`.
See `references/component-and-fixtures.md` for the fixture, `cy.task` seeding, and env-config code.
---
## Cross-Origin Flows
For legitimate redirects to another domain (SSO, OAuth providers, a separate auth host), wrap the commands that run on the other origin in `cy.origin`. This replaced the old `chromeWebSecurity: false` / `experimentalSessionAndOrigin` escape hatches -- do not disable web security to work around a redirect. This is distinct from third-party payment iframes (Stripe/PayPal), which you stub with `cy.intercept` and never reach into.
See `references/intercept-patterns.md` (Cross-Origin Flows) for the `cy.origin` example.
---
## CI Integration
**Action version:** pin to `cypress-io/github-action@v7` (latest 7.2.0, May 2026). v7 runs under Node 24 and is the current major; use `@v6` only on a Node 20 runner (the legacy branch).
> **Cypress / Node support:** Current is Cypress 15.x, which supports Node 20, 22, and 24 (Node 18 and 23 dropped). Node 20 removal is a future Cypress 16 / action-v7.2 concern tracking the Node 20 EOL (2026-04-30), not something Cypress 15 did.
- **With Cypress Cloud:** set `projectId`, run `npx cypress run --record --key $CYPRESS_RECORD_KEY`, and parallelize across a container matrix (`fail-fast: false`) for flake detection, Test Replay, and analytics.
- **Without Cloud:** use `cypress-io/github-action@v7` with `build`/`start`/`wait-on`, and upload `cypress/screenshots` + `cypress/videos` as artifacts on failure.
See `references/ci-recipes.md` for both complete GitHub Actions workflows.
**Cypress AI (paid Cloud add-on, GA 2026)** ships Auto Heal (selector self-healing), AI Test Generation, and AI Bug Triage. Now GA and worth knowing: `cy.prompt` (English-to-test authoring with runtime self-healing) and **Cloud MCP** (GA May 2026, free on all Cloud plans) — an MCP server that feeds recorded-run errors, stack traces, and Test Replay links to your AI assistant. This overlaps `test-reliability` (selector healing), `ai-bug-triage` (failure clustering), and `ai-test-generation` (authoring). If the team is already on Cypress Cloud, buying the add-on may be cheaper than building the equivalent -- flag it during framework selection.

## Anti-Patterns
### 1. cy.wait(milliseconds) for Synchronization
```typescript
// BAD
cy.get('[data-testid="submit"]').click();
cy.wait(3000);
// GOOD -- wait for network
cy.intercept('POST', '/api/submit').as('submit');
cy.get('[data-testid="submit"]'Skill source recorded
