Write IntelliJ UI tests with IDE Starter or UI Driver. An agent skill from JetBrains/intellij-community.

  • Works in 2 steps: Element Not Found: Check UI hierarchy… → Multiple Elements Match: Scope search to…
  • SKILL.md covers Common Imports, Test Structure, Test project examples and Page Object Pattern or…, plus 13 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Driver UI Tests is an agent skill from JetBrains/intellij-community, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Write IntelliJ UI tests with IDE Starter or UI Driver.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with JetBrains IDEs. The repository describes itself as: IntelliJ IDEA & IntelliJ Platform.

Example prompts

  • “/driver-ui-tests”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Element Not Found: Check UI hierarchy HTML for the correct accessible name or class
  2. Multiple Elements Match: Scope search to parent element

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 562e3a2. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are kotlin and bash).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

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

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Driver UI Tests loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 923 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~18
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.3k

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 923 words (~3,329 tokens).

“Guidelines for writing UI tests using IDE Starter and UI Driver frameworks.”
