## What it does

The skill reads flows from `replica/recon.md`, then writes `replica/test-plan.md`, `replica/bugs.md`, and end-to-end specs in `e2e/`. Each flow gets a happy path, applicable edge cases, and negative cases. Bug reports include severity, exact steps, expected and actual results, plus evidence.

Automation uses Playwright against the local dev server with seed data. Specs use roles and labels for selectors, fail on console errors and any `5xx` response, and run an accessibility scan through `@axe-core/playwright`; setup also uses `@playwright/test` and Chromium. Run the suite with `npx playwright test`.

The remaining checks are manual: incoming emails, OAuth with real providers, end-to-end payments, and visual glitches. The rule is direct: test the clone, not the original app’s servers. That means the local copy must be ready for a browser pass.

## Requirements
- Works with: Playwright

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Jakeschincariol/replica-skill --skill replica-test -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Jakeschincariol/replica-skill --skill replica-test -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Jakeschincariol/replica-skill --skill replica-test -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Jakeschincariol/replica-skill replica-test
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Jakeschincariol/replica-skill --skill replica-test -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/replica-skill --path replica-test
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Jakeschincariol/replica-skill --skill replica-test -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/Jakeschincariol/replica-skill/tree/HEAD/replica-test/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- map every clone flow into test cases
- write Playwright specs for the local app
- check flows that cannot be automated
- record reproducible bugs with severity levels
- rerun the suite after fixes

## Example prompts
- Test my clone using the flows in `replica/recon.md` and write the test plan.
- Create Playwright end-to-end specs for every flow you can automate, then list the manual checks.
- Find reproducible bugs, save them to `replica/bugs.md`, and assign S1–S4 severity.

  Clicks through every flow of an app clone and tests it for bugs: a test plan
  generated from the recon flows with happy paths and edge cases, Playwright
  end-to-end tests where possible, a browser click-through where not, and bug
  reports in a fixed format with severity, steps and evidence. Use when the
  user says "test my clone", "find bugs", "QA this", "click through
  everything", "write e2e tests", "does it work", or after /replica-build or
  /replica-backend.

# replica-test

Reads the flows in `replica/recon.md`. Writes `replica/test-plan.md`,
`replica/bugs.md`, and end-to-end tests in the project (`e2e/`). Templates in
this folder: `test-plan.md`, `bug-report.md`, `e2e.example.spec.ts`.

## The rule

**Test your clone, not the original.** Never load test, fuzz, script or
hammer the original app's servers. Using the original by hand, as a normal
user, to see how it behaves is fine.

## Step 1: the plan

For every flow F01, F02... in the recon map, write:

- **Happy path**: the steps, and what the user should see at the end.
- **Edge cases** that apply. Go down this list for every flow:
  empty input, very long input, emoji and accents, two tabs at once,
  double click on submit, back button mid-flow, refresh mid-flow, slow
  network, offline, expired session, second user's data (must be invisible),
  time zones and daylight saving, mobile width, keyboard only, screen reader
  labels.
- **Negative cases**: wrong password, card declined (Stripe test card
  `4000 0000 0000 0002`), permission denied, deleted record.

Number every case: F01-H1, F01-E3, F01-N2.

## Step 2: automate what you can

Playwright, one spec per flow, against the local dev server with seed data.
Use roles and labels for selectors (`getByRole('button', { name: 'Book' })`),
never CSS classes. See `e2e.example.spec.ts`.

```bash
npm i -D @playwright/test && npx playwright install chromium
npx playwright test
```

Add to every spec: fail on console errors, fail on any 5xx response, and an
axe accessibility scan (`@axe-core/playwright`) on each screen.

## Step 3: click through the rest

What cannot be automated (emails arriving, OAuth with real providers,
payments end to end, visual glitches) gets a manual pass. If a browser tool is
available, drive the local clone with it and screenshot each step. Otherwise
give the user the checklist and wait for answers.

## Step 4: report bugs

Every bug goes in `replica/bugs.md` in the `bug-report.md` format: an ID, a
severity, exact steps, expected, actual, evidence. Severity:

| | means |
| --- | --- |
| S1 | data loss, security hole, payments wrong, core flow blocked |
| S2 | a feature broken, no workaround |
| S3 | broken with a workaround, or visibly wrong |
| S4 | cosmetic |

Only report what you reproduced. "Might be an issue" goes in a separate
````
