Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill migrate- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads migrate automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Migrate to Playwright
Interactive migration from Cypress or Selenium to Playwright with file-by-file conversion.
Input
$ARGUMENTS can be:
"from cypress"— migrate Cypress test suite"from selenium"— migrate Selenium/WebDriver tests- A file path: convert a specific test file
- Empty: auto-detect source framework
Steps
1. Detect Source Framework
Use Explore subagent to scan:
cypress/directory orcypress.config.ts→ Cypressselenium,webdriverinpackage.jsondeps → Selenium.pytest files withseleniumimports → Selenium (Python)
2. Assess Migration Scope
Count files and categorize:
Migration Assessment:
- Total test files: X
- Cypress custom commands: Y
- Cypress fixtures: Z
- Estimated effort: [small|medium|large]
| Size | Files | Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Small (1-10) | Convert sequentially | Direct conversion |
| Medium (11-30) | Batch in groups of 5 | Use sub-agents |
| Large (31+) | Use /batch | Parallel conversion with /batch |
3. Set Up Playwright (If Not Present)
Run /pw:pw-init first if Playwright isn't configured.
4. Convert Files
For each file, apply the appropriate mapping:
Cypress → Playwright
Load cypress-mapping.md for complete reference.
Key translations:
cy.visit(url) → page.goto(url)
cy.get(selector) → page.locator(selector) or page.getByRole(...)
cy.contains(text) → page.getByText(text)
cy.find(selector) → locator.locator(selector)
cy.click() → locator.click()
cy.type(text) → locator.fill(text)
cy.should('be.visible') → expect(locator).toBeVisible()
cy.should('have.text') → expect(locator).toHaveText(text)
cy.intercept() → page.route()
cy.wait('@alias') → page.waitForResponse()
cy.fixture() → JSON import or test data file
Cypress custom commands → Playwright fixtures or helper functions
Cypress plugins → Playwright config or fixtures
before/beforeEach → test.beforeAll() / test.beforeEach()
Selenium → Playwright
Load selenium-mapping.md for complete reference.
Key translations:
driver.get(url) → page.goto(url)
driver.findElement(By.id('x')) → page.locator('#x') or page.getByTestId('x')
driver.findElement(By.css('.x')) → page.locator('.x') or page.getByRole(...)
element.click() → locator.click()
element.sendKeys(text) → locator.fill(text)
element.getText() → locator.textContent()
WebDriverWait + ExpectedConditions → expect(locator).toBeVisible()
driver.switchTo().frame() → page.frameLocator()
Actions → locator.hover(), locator.dragTo()
5. Upgrade Locators
During conversion, upgrade selectors to Playwright best practices:
#id→getByTestId()orgetByRole().class→getByRole()orgetByText()[data-testid]→getByTestId()- XPath → role-based locators
6. Convert Custom Commands / Utilities
- Cypress custom commands → Playwright custom fixtures via
test.extend() - Selenium page objects → Playwright page objects (keep structure, update API)
- Shared helpers → TypeScript utility functions
7. Verify Each Converted File
After converting each file:
npx playwright test <converted-file> --reporter=list
Fix any compilation or runtime errors before moving to the next file.
8. Clean Up
After all files are converted:
- Remove Cypress/Selenium dependencies from
package.json - Remove old config files (
cypress.config.ts, etc.) - Update CI workflow to use Playwright
- Update README with new test commands
Ask user before deleting anything.
Output
- Conversion summary: files converted, total tests migrated
- Any tests that couldn't be auto-converted (manual intervention needed)
- Updated CI config
- Before/after comparison of test run results
FAQ
What does the migrate skill do?
Migrate from Cypress or Selenium to Playwright. Use when user mentions "cypress", "selenium", "migrate tests", "convert tests", "switch to playwright", "move from cypress", or "replace selenium".
How do I install migrate?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill migrate in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/migrate/ (personal) or .claude/skills/migrate/ (project).
Which AI agents can use migrate?
Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.
Is migrate safe to install?
No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.
Who maintains migrate?
It is published by alirezarezvani in alirezarezvani/claude-skills. It has 1,587 recorded installs.

Triggers on 'help me prioritize', 'plan a product experiment', 'we ship features nobody uses', 'run the discovery loop', 'is our OST sound'. Forks context to route to one sub-skill via a deterministic signal router and returns a digest; can also drive a continuous-discovery loop (Torres cadence tracker + OST linter as machine gates) or a full goal→plan→execute→verify→close run through the repo-wide agent-harness. Distinct from project-management (how to deliver vs what to build), marketing/landing (from-scratch pages), and engineering/agent-harness (the generic loop engine this orchestrator plugs into).
