Core Patterns
Basic Test (tests/login.robot)
*** Settings ***
Library SeleniumLibrary
Suite Setup Open Browser ${BASE_URL} chrome
Suite Teardown Close All Browsers
*** Variables ***
${BASE_URL} http://localhost:3000
${EMAIL} [email protected]
${PASSWORD} password123
*** Test Cases ***
Login With Valid Credentials
Go To ${BASE_URL}/login
Wait Until Element Is Visible id:email 10s
Input Text id:email ${EMAIL}
Input Text id:password ${PASSWORD}
Click Button css:button[type='submit']
Wait Until Element Is Visible css:.dashboard 10s
Page Should Contain Welcome
Location Should Contain /dashboard
Login With Invalid Credentials Shows Error
Go To ${BASE_URL}/login
Input Text id:email [email protected]
Input Text id:password wrong
Click Button css:button[type='submit']
Wait Until Element Is Visible css:.error 5s
Element Should Contain css:.error Invalid credentials
Custom Keywords
*** Keywords ***
Login As User
[Arguments] ${email} ${password}
Go To ${BASE_URL}/login
Input Text id:email ${email}
Input Text id:password ${password}
Click Button css:button[type='submit']
Verify Dashboard Is Displayed
Wait Until Element Is Visible css:.dashboard 10s
Page Should Contain Welcome
*** Test Cases ***
Valid Login Flow
Login As User [email protected] password123
Verify Dashboard Is Displayed
Data-Driven Tests (Template)
*** Test Cases ***
Login With Various Users
[Template] Login And Verify
[email protected] admin123 Dashboard
[email protected] pass123 Dashboard
[email protected] wrong Error
*** Keywords ***
Login And Verify
[Arguments] ${email} ${password} ${expected}
Login As User ${email} ${password}
Page Should Contain ${expected}
API Testing (RequestsLibrary)
*** Settings ***
Library RequestsLibrary
*** Test Cases ***
Get Users Returns 200
${response}= GET ${API_URL}/users expected_status=200
Should Not Be Empty ${response.json()['users']}
Create User
${body}= Create Dictionary name=Alice [email protected]
${response}= POST ${API_URL}/users json=${body} expected_status=201
Should Be Equal ${response.json()['name']} Alice
Cloud Config
*** Settings ***
Library SeleniumLibrary
*** Variables ***
${REMOTE_URL} https://%{LT_USERNAME}:%{LT_ACCESS_KEY}@hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub
*** Keywords ***
Open Cloud Browser
${caps}= Create Dictionary
... browserName=chrome browserVersion=latest
... LT:Options=${{{"build":"Robot Build","name":"Login Test","platform":"Windows 11","video":True}}}
Open Browser ${BASE_URL} remote_url=${REMOTE_URL} desired_capabilities=${caps}
Setup: pip install robotframework robotframework-seleniumlibrary robotframework-requests
Run: robot tests/ or robot --include smoke tests/

Automatically creates user-facing changelogs from git commits by analyzing commit history, categorizing changes, and transforming technical commits into clear, customer-friendly release notes. Turns hours of manual changelog writing into minutes of automated generation.
Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work - guides completion of development work by presenting structured options for merge, PR, or cleanup

React Native and Expo best practices for building performant mobile apps. Use when building React Native components, optimizing list performance, implementing animations, or working with native modules. Triggers on tasks involving React Native, Expo, mobile performance, or native platform APIs.
React and Next.js performance optimization guidelines from Vercel Engineering. This skill should be used when writing, reviewing, or refactoring React/Next.js code to ensure optimal performance patterns. Triggers on tasks involving React components, Next.js pages, data fetching, bundle optimization, or performance improvements.
Next.js best practices - file conventions, RSC boundaries, data patterns, async APIs, metadata, error handling, route handlers, image/font optimization, bundling
Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - creates isolated git worktrees with smart directory selection and safety verification
How to use it
Take lambdatest/robot-framework-skill from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
The instructions reference pip.
Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
