HelpMeTest Skills

Official skills for HelpMeTest — AI-powered test automation agent.

Installation

helpmetest install skills
# or
npx skills add help-me-test/skills

Skills are installed to .agents/skills/ in your project. Your AI agent can then invoke them with /<skill-name>.

🔴 YOU WRITE THE TEST FIRST.

Changed code → run the tests.
New feature → write the test before the code.
The test is the spec. The test is done when it's green.
No test = not done.

Available Skills (8)

onboard — new project setup: interview, explore, create all foundational artifacts, write HELPMETEST.md
discover — map what exists into Feature artifacts, whether the source is a live app, PRD, API spec, tickets, or codebase
tdd — test-first development: plan coverage → write all tests (they fail) → implement until green
helpmetest — full QA pass: discover pages, set up auth, enumerate features, generate and run tests, report bugs
fix-tests — everything wrong with your tests: one broken, suite broken, stale after refactor, or quality review. Detects the situation, picks the mode.
ui-review — visual inspection from a quick "does this look right?" to a full UX audit across all pages and viewports. Always produces a UIReview artifact.
api-testing — test REST endpoints via authenticated browser session
proxy — tunnel from HelpMeTest cloud browsers to your localhost dev server
