Overview
What It Does
Cypress Explain packages a focused marketing & content workflow for an AI agent. Explains Cypress tests (E2E and component tests), and answers questions about Cypress use and behavior. Use when the user asks to explain how a test works, explain how Cypress works, review or critique a test without writing code. Apply even when the user does not say 'Cypress' (e.g. 'explain this test'). Prefer the cypress-author skill when the user wants to create, fix, or update tests. It is best suited to users who can review the resulting actions and provide only the accounts, files, or command access needed for the task. It is not a substitute for human approval on destructive, financial, security-sensitive, or public-facing actions.
