When to Use

Need help with automation testing in a real project context.
Need an output that can be used directly for execution, review, or follow-up.

Workflow

Read and follow the main prompt listed under Progressive disclosure (coverage, structure, quality bar).
Add only project context that changes the result: scope, environment, constraints, risks, dependencies, expected deliverable.
If input is incomplete, return a usable first draft and explicitly mark assumptions and gaps.
Default to Markdown; switch formats only when the user asks.

Core Constraints

Prioritize by risk / business impact — do not treat everything equally.
Separate confirmed facts from current assumptions.
Do not invent endpoints, fields, environments, or root causes the user did not provide.
Keep output executable: concrete scenarios, clear priority, clear next steps.

Progressive Disclosure

Before producing output, read and follow prompts/automation-testing.md (minimum coverage, output structure, quality bar).
When Excel/CSV/JSON/Word is requested: read output-formats.md and honor the format.
When a ready-made template fits: use matching files under output-templates/.
For deep framework/troubleshoot/schema notes: read only the relevant file(s) under references/, do not load the whole directory.
For format conversion or helper checks: prefer existing scripts/ over reinventing.
For evaluating/regressing this skill: use evals/ with skill-up.

Pre-delivery Checklist

[ ] Followed the main prompt's output structure
[ ] Minimum coverage focus: scope and objective, automation candidates, manual-only areas, priority by risk and ROI, framework alignment, data and environment needs, flaky-test risks, CI or execution strategy, ... (details in main prompt)
[ ] Covered the minimum checklist, or explained omissions
[ ] High-risk items have explicit priority
[ ] Did not invent details the user did not provide
[ ] Assumptions and gaps are marked

Common Pitfalls

Do not pretend completeness when scope/context is missing.
Do not treat every item as equally important.
Do not skip assumptions and information gaps.
Do not dump generic theory unrelated to the current toolchain.
