E2E Test Generation

When a user story changes user-facing behavior and the project already does e2e, an existing e2e test must be updated or a new one created before the story is done. This skill is framework-agnostic — it uses whatever e2e stack the consuming repo already has, and never introduces a new one unprompted.

Adaptive gate (see instructions/testing-standards.md): if the repo has no e2e setup, this is a recommendation, not a blocker — report "no e2e setup; recommend adding one" (and offer to, if the user wants), and do not scaffold a framework. Only treat missing e2e as a hard failure when gates.e2e is required in .claude/dev-kit.json.

Process

1. Identify the affected flow(s) from the story's acceptance criteria and the diff: which pages, routes, forms, and roles are involved.
2. Discover the project's e2e framework and conventions first — before writing anything. If .claude/dev-kit.json names a stack, instructions/stacks/<id>.md lists the frameworks common for it as a starting hint. Then look for the config and test tree of whatever the repo actually uses (e.g. playwright.config.* + e2e/, cypress.config.* + cypress/, a Selenium/WebDriver test project, *.feature files for Cucumber, etc.) and reuse its existing page objects, fixtures, helpers, and app/API seeding or stubbing. Follow them exactly; do not introduce a new pattern or framework when one exists. If the repo has no e2e setup at all, say so and propose one that fits the stack instead of scaffolding silently.
3. Prefer updating an existing test for the flow over creating a parallel one.
4. Write the scenarios. Every generated suite must cover realistic edge cases, not just the happy path:

• Empty states
• API failures and timeouts
• Validation errors
• Role/permission differences where applicable
• Navigation and back-flow behavior where applicable

1. Run the tests with the project's e2e command (check the consuming repo's CLAUDE.md; e.g. npx playwright test <file>, npx cypress run, or the repo's WebDriver test command). Related e2e tests must pass before PR creation.

Quality rules

• Page Object Model: new pages get a page object; interactions go through it, not raw selectors in the test body.
• Stable selectors: prefer test ids / accessible roles over CSS chains.
• No sleeps: use the framework's waiting primitives.
• Keep test names descriptive of the user behavior, not the implementation.
• Preserve existing test names when updating a file.

Output

Report which flows are covered, which test files were added/updated, the run result, and any flow you could not cover (with the reason) — never silently skip a flow.
