## What it does

The skill hands your agent a Maestro reference: YAML test structure, appId, env variables, over 40 commands, selectors by id and text, assertions, gestures. Separate rule files cover platforms — Android with ADB and emulators, iOS with auto-dismissed dialogs and simulators, Flutter through Semantics, React Native through testID and accessibilityLabel, web through Chromium.

Advanced rules cover parameters and `${}` syntax, conditional execution, reusable subflows via `runFlow`, GraalJS scripts, waiting and retry patterns for flaky tests. There is also debugging with Maestro Studio, screenshots and video, and CI integration for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI and Maestro Cloud.

Rules load on demand: native permission dialogs pull in `rules/permissions.md`, Flutter work pulls in `rules/platforms/flutter.md`. Only what you need lands in context. One thing to check first — Maestro itself has to be installed on your machine. The skill explains how to do that on macOS, Linux and Windows, but it does not install the tool for you.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add raphaelbarbosaqwerty/maestro-dev-skills --skill maestro-e2e -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/maestro-e2e/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/maestro-e2e/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add raphaelbarbosaqwerty/maestro-dev-skills --skill maestro-e2e -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/maestro-e2e/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add raphaelbarbosaqwerty/maestro-dev-skills --skill maestro-e2e -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/maestro-e2e/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install raphaelbarbosaqwerty/maestro-dev-skills maestro-e2e
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/maestro-e2e/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add raphaelbarbosaqwerty/maestro-dev-skills --skill maestro-e2e -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/raphaelbarbosaqwerty/maestro-dev-skills
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/maestro-e2e/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add raphaelbarbosaqwerty/maestro-dev-skills --skill maestro-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/raphaelbarbosaqwerty/maestro-dev-skills/tree/HEAD/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- write an E2E test for app login
- handle camera and location permission dialogs
- target an element by id or text in the UI tree
- fix a test that fails on an animation
- extract repeated steps into a reusable subflow

## Example prompts
- Write a Maestro E2E test for login and the transition to the home screen
- Why does assertVisible fail after the tap — help me debug it
- Create a subflow for phone number entry and reuse it in two tests

## When to use

Use this skill whenever you are:

- Creating E2E, UI, or integration tests
- Testing login, registration, or navigation flows
- Handling permission dialogs (camera, location, notifications)
- Debugging test failures or exploring UI hierarchy
- Working with Maestro test files (.yaml)

## Captions

When dealing with native permission dialogs, load the [./rules/permissions.md](./rules/permissions.md) file for platform-specific information.

When working with Flutter apps, load the [./rules/platforms/flutter.md](./rules/platforms/flutter.md) file for Semantics patterns.

## How to use

Read individual rule files for detailed explanations and code examples:

### Core

- [rules/selectors.md](rules/selectors.md) - Element targeting with id, text, index, and matchers
- [rules/assertions.md](rules/assertions.md) - assertVisible, assertNotVisible, assertTrue, and AI assertions
- [rules/interactions.md](rules/interactions.md) - tapOn, inputText, scroll, swipe, and gesture commands
- [rules/permissions.md](rules/permissions.md) - iOS vs Android permission configuration and dialog handling

### Platforms

- [rules/platforms/android.md](rules/platforms/android.md) - Android-specific: ADB, permission dialogs, emulators
- [rules/platforms/ios.md](rules/platforms/ios.md) - iOS-specific: auto-dismiss dialogs, simulators, limitations
