What It Does
Cypress Tap packages a focused browser & research workflow for an AI agent. Drives a running Cypress open-mode session through `cypress tap` to run and rerun specs, wait for fresh results, inspect reporter and command logs, and query or rewind the app under test through DOM, accessibility, styles, and snapshots. Use when authoring or debugging Cypress e2e or component specs, discovering selectors, diagnosing failures, or verifying test behavior without GUI interaction. Not for one-shot headless runs. Requires Cypress 15.21+, a Chromium-family browser, and a running `cypress open` session. 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.
