Create and run tests for interactive command-line tools and terminal interfaces using @microsoft/tui-test. Simulate keyboard input, check visible text, and compare screen snapshots in a separate terminal environment for each test.
Test interactive CLI/TUI applications using @microsoft/tui-test. Use when you need to test CLI tools with interactive prompts, TUI rendering, arrow key navigation, or any command that requires a TTY. Triggers include "test CLI", "test TUI", "run interactively", "automate terminal input", "simulate user input in terminal".
Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.
Playwright-like API for terminals. Real PTY per test. Made by Microsoft.

Automate real browser tasks to test websites, complete forms, and collect page information. The skill guides agents through identifying clickable elements, interacting with pages, comparing page states, and saving screenshots or PDFs.
Trace application behavior and explain data structures using compact text tree diagrams. The diagrams connect user actions to real functions, data types, state changes, and the components that render again as a result.
Set up and run Happy components locally, including its CLI, server, mobile app, and desktop app. The guide covers building, testing, checking logs, and separating development data using pnpm, the project's package management tool.
Organize Happy's GitHub issues, find duplicates, and check whether reported bugs are fixed on main, the primary development branch. Prepare replies and proposed actions for maintainer review, with explicit approval required before changes affecting contributors.
Query Prometheus metrics through Grafana and manage dashboards as JSON files. Use it to investigate current values and trends, add or adjust panels, and preview dashboard updates before applying them.
Develop a product or side-project idea through guided questions and premise checks. Startup discussions examine evidence of demand, while builder discussions explore possibilities and scope, producing a design document before implementation begins.
