What it does

E2E Scenario Testing is an agent skill from obra/dotfiles. Use when verifying a running application end-to-end through its real interface — a web UI, a CLI, or a TUI — by writing and executing agent-run "scenario cards" against a freshly built instance with falsifiable assertions. Trigger on "test it end to end", "prove the UI actually works", "write/run a scenario", or after a change touches a user-facing surface that unit tests can't fully cover. Not for unit tests, pure code review, or API-only checks.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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 End-to-end testing, Unit testing and Frontend development.

When your agent uses it

  • Verifying a running application end-to-end through its real interface — a web UI
  • A TUI — by writing and executing agent-run scenario cards against a freshly built instance with falsifiable assertions
  • Test it end to end
  • Prove the UI actually works

Example prompts

  • “scenario cards”
  • “test it end to end”
  • “prove the UI actually works”
  • “/e2e-scenario-testing”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Build fresh from the code under test. The single most common mistake is
  2. Isolate. Run in a hermetic workdir. If the app holds a host-level
  3. Drive the surface (recipes below).
  4. Assert against the authoritative record, not just the pixels. The UI can
  5. Capture evidence — a screenshot, the captured pane, the on-disk artifact.
  6. Clean up — shut down what you spawned, remove scratch dirs, leave

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit df3be56. 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 markdown 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

E2E Scenario Testing loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 118 tokens; SKILL.md has 856 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~118
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 856 words (~1,799 tokens).

“Verify that a running application does what it claims, by driving its real interface the way a user would. The unit of work is a scenario card: a short markdown test written for an agent to execute — not a…”
