Test-architecture skill for Cypress page objects, fixtures, helpers, and custom commands. Use when Codex needs to decide whether to introduce a Page Object Model, how to structure page objects, and how to separate browser state, UI behavior, and stateless utilities cleanly.

Cypress Page Object Model

Use this skill when the main decision is architectural rather than tactical.

Decision Model

Use fixtures and setup hooks for setup, teardown, seeded state, and reusable inputs.
Use page objects to encapsulate repeated or complex UI behavior.
Use helpers for stateless utilities such as data generation, formatting, or pure transformations.
Use custom commands or cy.task() only when they provide a real integration benefit rather than becoming a dumping ground for page behavior.

Practical Rules

Reach for a page object when the same UI behavior appears in multiple tests or when the flow is complex enough to deserve a named abstraction.
Keep assertions close to the test unless a reusable page-level assertion adds clarity.
Avoid helpers that silently own browser state.
Keep support code organized with the tests it serves.
