It enforces live authoring on the initial walkthrough rather than reconstructing actions from memory. Steps capture stable element identifiers, translate screen transitions, and add `await: { idle: true }` checks during the polish phase. Physical iPhone hardware never binds automatically during replay. You must supply the device UDID via the `--device` CLI flag, and commands like `pinch` or `rotate` fail on actual devices just like live tools. When execution fails, the repair workflow inspects the initial divergence and halts after two unsuccessful fix cycles without weakening checks. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add software-mansion/argent --skill argent-create-e2e -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/argent-create-e2e/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/argent-create-e2e/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add software-mansion/argent --skill argent-create-e2e -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/argent-create-e2e/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add software-mansion/argent --skill argent-create-e2e -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/argent-create-e2e/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install software-mansion/argent argent-create-e2e ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/argent-create-e2e/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add software-mansion/argent --skill argent-create-e2e -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/software-mansion/argent --path packages/skills/skills/argent-create-e2e ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/argent-create-e2e/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add software-mansion/argent --skill argent-create-e2e -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/software-mansion/argent/tree/HEAD/packages/skills/skills/argent-create-e2e/SKILL.md ## When to use it - Record live user interactions into `.argent/e2e/.yaml` - Repair broken Argent replay sequences within two correction cycles - Replace coordinate taps with semantic element selectors - Execute replay flows on connected physical iPhones ## Example prompts - Record an e2e test for the login flow into .argent/e2e/login.yaml - Replay .argent/e2e/checkout.yaml on a physical iPhone using --device - Repair the failing screen transition step in .argent/e2e/settings.yaml ## Source text · SKILL.md · Apache-2.0 Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE c8a3f9034ad07803 ```text --- name: argent-create-e2e description: Create, record, edit, replay, or repair reusable Argent e2e test YAML files. Use when the user asks to record, replay, or run an e2e test or a repeatable device path, set up profiling or an A/B comparison, or invoke the authoring engine behind argent-qa-e2e. Also use before repeating three or more interactions. For one-off UI checks, acceptance-driven regression tests, or screen video, use argent-test-ui-flow, argent-qa-e2e, or argent-screen-recording respectively. --- # Create an Argent e2e test An Argent e2e test is a replayable sequence in `.argent/e2e/.yaml` (`.argent/flows/` is still read). For a saved QA test case, ticket, or acceptance criterion, load `argent-qa-e2e` first. It adds deterministic setup, acceptance evidence, and two-pass proof. ## Read the relevant reference - Before creating or changing an e2e test, read [Live authoring](references/live-authoring.md) completely. - When polishing, composing, or manually reviewing YAML, read [E2E YAML](references/e2e-yaml.md). For Vega, read its platform limits before recording remote or keyboard tools. - E2E tests run on physical iPhones (an iOS `list-devices` entry with kind `"device"`), but replay never auto-binds one, even when no simulator is booted: pass the phone's udid as `device` (CLI `--device`), and only a `connected` phone can run. `pinch`/`rotate` steps fail there like the live tools. On hardware the runner tree is the `describe` tree: same ids and roles, no UIView hierarchy. See `argent-ios-device-interact` for the hardware contract. - On capture warnings, raw coordinates, unavailable trees, mistimed transitions, overlays, or replay failures, read [Reliability and recovery](references/reliability-and-recovery.md). ## Non-negotiable rules 1. **Record the first walkthrough.** Start the recorder before the first launch or in-app action. Do not reconstruct a rehearsed path. 2. **Record checks when their states appear.** Record `await-ui-element` live, then convert it during polish. An echo records intent or diagnostic context, not app behavior or a verdict. A screenshot is human evidence, not an executable verdict. For absence, record the same selector as `visible`, perform the removing action, then record it as `hidden`. 3. **Use semantic targets.** Prefer a strict id, then stable text or an accessibility label. Use `scroll-to` for off-screen elements. Resolve every raw-point warning immediately through the [coordinate fallback gate](references/reliability-and-recovery.md#coordinate-fallback-gate). 4. **Prove every screen change.** Record a destination-only identity check. During polish, follow it with `await: { idle: true }`. Stillness does not prove identity, and `idle` can pass with a warning. ``` END THIRD-PARTY FILE c8a3f9034ad07803 The third-party file has ended.
