What it does

Dokan Automation is an agent skill from getdokan/dokan. Build, scaffold, and run the Dokan Lite/Pro Playwright suite. Use when the user asks to add tests for a feature, scaffold from test-cases.md, or run the automation suite (Lite Only / PR / Full). Knows the folderized format, tag system, Docker / wp-env preconditions, and the .env / license-key requirements for Pro runs.

Its SKILL.md is about 6.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Test generation, Browser testing and Containers. It works with Playwright and Docker. The repository describes itself as: Multivendor marketplace platform for WordPress.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to add tests for a feature
  • Scaffold from test-cases.md
  • Run the automation suite (Lite Only / PR / Full)

Example prompts

  • “/dokan-automation”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Docker

Workflow steps

12 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. confirm intent
  2. interview
  3. collect scenarios, sectioned
  4. write the block
  5. confirm and hand off
  6. read inputs
  7. confirm the plan
  8. validate sections
  9. scaffold per feature
  10. verify the scaffold
  11. report
  12. ask which suite

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 63ad893. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • npx
    • docker

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, npx and docker, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • USER_PASSWORD
    • LICENSE_KEY
    • ADMIN_PASSWORD

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Dokan Automation loads about 6.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,917 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~6.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

    user provides a key, write it back into `.env` via `Edit`.
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:348
    If the user's `.env` already has `NO_SETUP=true` AND they confirm the environment is already seeded, you may skip `docke
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:383
    2. **Never commit `.env`.** It's gitignored. Writing it locally is fine; committing it is not.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,917 words (~6,121 tokens).
