What it does

E2E Testing is an agent skill from OpenHands/OpenHands. This skill should be used when the user asks to "add an E2E test", "run live E2E", "run mock-LLM tests", "debug Playwright CI", "test the Docker image", or changes tests/e2e, Playwright configs, E2E workflows, artifacts, or test reporting.

Its SKILL.md is about 310 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/guide.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering End-to-end testing and Browser testing. It works with Playwright, Docker and OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: 🙌 OpenHands: AI-Driven Development. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks to add an E2E test
  • Run mock-LLM tests
  • Debug Playwright CI
  • Test the Docker image

Example prompts

  • “add an E2E test”
  • “run live E2E”
  • “run mock-LLM tests”
  • “/e2e-testing”

Requirements

  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read references/guide.md before changing any E2E framework file or debugging an E2E failure.
  2. Select the cheapest suite that exercises the real changed boundary.
  3. Keep live credentials isolated to trusted execution steps and prevent analytics or sensitive artifacts.
  4. Diagnose CI failures from workflow summaries and Playwright artifacts before modifying locators or timeouts.
  5. Follow the repository testing rules: cover behavior through real code paths, minimize cases, and mock underlying services rather than hooks.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7ea83ba. 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.

    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 Testing loads about 308 tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 125 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~308
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.5k

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.

End-to-End Testing

Use the correct test layer and preserve the security and production-fidelity boundaries between ordinary browser tests, mock-LLM suites, Docker image tests, and live LLM-backed QA.

Workflow

  1. Read references/guide.md before changing any E2E framework file or debugging an E2E failure.
  2. Select the cheapest suite that exercises the real changed boundary.
  3. Keep live credentials isolated to trusted execution steps and prevent analytics or sensitive artifacts.
  4. Diagnose CI failures from workflow summaries and Playwright artifacts before modifying locators or timeouts.
  5. Follow the repository testing rules: cover behavior through real code paths, minimize cases, and mock underlying services rather than hooks.
