GitHub SKILL.md

What it does

Provides step-by-step guidance for authoring browsertests in the chrome/browser/web_applications area. It explains the recommended test base classes, test environment setup (embedded HTTPS test server), waiting and stability best-practices, and how to validate browser and web-app state in end-to-end tests. Concrete C++ examples show install/launch flows and common wait helpers.

When to use it

Use this when you need to add or update integration-level browser tests for Chrome web applications — for example, validating install flows, UI interactions, manifest-driven updates, or OS integration behavior. It's aimed at Chromium contributors writing IN_PROC_BROWSER_TESTs.

What's included

Scripts: none listed in SKILL.md (has_scripts=false)
References: links to WebAppBrowserTestBase header and testing docs; sibling files in repo provide broader testing guidance
Instructions: how to pick a test base class, set up embedded test server, reliably wait for UI/network events, and assert state via provider internals or visible UI.

Compatible agents

Agents that assist with C++/Chromium development and testing (tools with code editing, build/test runners, and C++ knowledge) such as Codex/Copilot-style code assistants, local CI runners, and developer tooling automation.
