cypress-flake-fixer

Find and fix flake-prone anti-patterns in an existing Cypress suite, and APIs removed in Cypress 12 to 16. Bundles a zero-dependency scanner for fixed cy.wait() delays, assigned command return values, async/await, force: true, chaining after actions, one-shot expect() inside .then(), conditional testing, and removed APIs such as Cypress.env(), cy.exec(), cy.server()/cy.route(). Use when asked to fix flaky Cypress tests, remove cy.wait, stabilize or harden a Cypress suite, audit Cypress specs, debug "detached from the DOM" errors, or prepare an upgrade to Cypress 15 or 16.

# Cypress Flake Fixer

Audit an existing Cypress suite for the code patterns that cause intermittent failures, then fix them without hiding the problem behind retries, longer timeouts, or `force: true`.

## When to Use This Skill

- A Cypress spec passes locally and fails in CI, or fails once in every few runs
- The suite contains `cy.wait(<number>)`, `{ force: true }`, or tests that only pass in order
- Errors mention "detached from the DOM", "timed out retrying", or a subject that "is no longer attached"
- The project is upgrading Cypress across a major version (12 through 16)
- A review of Cypress test code is requested

For writing new Cypress tests from scratch, coding standards are enough. This skill is for diagnosing and repairing an existing suite.
