Cypress Author

cypress-io/cypress-author

Creates, updates, and fixes Cypress tests (E2E/end-to-end and component tests). Use when the user asks to create tests, add tests, write tests, update tests, test this file/component, new spec, or fix a failing or flaky test. Apply even when the user does not say 'Cypress' (e.g. 'create tests for this file'). Prefer cypress-explain when the user only wants to explain or review tests without changing code.
