Test Framework Setup

Version: 5.0 (Step-File Architecture)

---

Overview

Initialize a production-ready test framework (Playwright or Cypress) with fixtures, helpers, configuration, and best practices.

---

WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE

This workflow uses step-file architecture:

• Micro-file Design: Each step is self-contained
• JIT Loading: Only the current step file is in memory
• Sequential Enforcement: Execute steps in order without skipping

---

INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE

1. Configuration Loading

From workflow.yaml, resolve:

• config_source, test_artifacts, user_name, communication_language, document_output_language, date
• test_dir, use_typescript, framework_preference, project_size

2. First Step

Load, read completely, and execute: {skill-root}/steps-c/step-01-preflight.md

3. Resume Support

If the user selects Resume mode, load, read completely, and execute: {skill-root}/steps-c/step-01b-resume.md

This checks the output document for progress tracking frontmatter and routes to the next incomplete step.
