Cypress AI Skills are instruction sets for AI coding assistants that guide them to write better Cypress tests following project conventions. Two skills are available: cypress-author (for creating, updating, and fixing tests) and cypress-explain (for understanding tests and Cypress concepts). They work with tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot via custom instructions. Skills are published in the open-source Cypress AI Toolkit and can be installed with a single npx command. They help teams establish a shared baseline so AI-generated tests use stable selectors, reuse existing helpers, and follow project-specific patterns rather than generic defaults.
