What this skill does


# BDD Scenarios

Learn to write clear, maintainable BDD scenarios that effectively capture business requirements and drive implementation.

## Writing Good Scenarios

A good scenario should be:

- **Specific**: Test one behavior
- **Declarative**: Describe what, not how
- **Business-focused**: Use domain language
- **Independent**: No dependencies on other scenarios

```gherkin
# Good scenario - specific and declarative
Scenario: Customer receives loyalty discount
  Given a customer with Gold membership status
  And a cart total of $100
  When the customer proceeds to checkout
  Then a 10% loyalty discount should be applied
  And the final total should be $90

# Bad scenario - too implementation-focused
Scenario: Apply discount
  Given I click the membership dropdown
  And I select "Gold" from the list
  When I click the checkout button
  Then the JavaScript calculates 10% off
```

## Acceptance Criteria Format

```gherkin
Feature: Order Refunds

  # Rule-based acceptance criteria
  Rule: Full refunds are available within 30 days

    Scenario: Refund requested within return window
      Given an order placed 15 days ago
      When the customer requests a refund
      Then a full refund should be processed

    Scenario: Refund requested after return window
      Given an order placed 45 days ago
      When the customer requests a refund
      Then the refund should be denied
      And the customer should see "Return window expired"
```

## Edge Case Scenarios

```gherkin
Feature: User Registration

  Scenario: Successful registration
    Given I am on the registration page
    When I submit valid registration details
    Then my account should be created

  # Edge cases
  Scenario: Registration with existing email
    Given a user exists with email "[email protected]"
    When I try to register with email "[email protected]"
    Then I should see "Email already registered"

  Scenario: Registration with invalid email format
    When I try to register with email "not-an-email"
    Then I should see "Please enter a valid email"

  Scenario: Registration with empty required fields
    When I submit the registration form with empty fields
    Then I should see validation errors for required fields
```

## Scenario Tags and Organization

```gherkin
@authentication @critical
Feature: User Login

  @smoke
  Scenario: Basic login flow
    # ...

  @security
  Scenario: Account lockout after failed attempts
    # ...

  @wip
  Scenario: Two-factor authentication
    # Work in progress
```

## When to Use This Skill

Use bdd-scenarios when you need to:

- Define acceptance criteria for user stories
- Document expected system behavior
- Create comprehensive test coverage
- Identify edge cases early in development
- Communicate requirements clearly

## Best Practices

- Start with the happy path scenario
- Add edge cases systematically
- Use tags for organization and filtering
- Keep scenarios at 3-7 steps
- Write scenarios before implementation
- Review scenarios with stakeholders

## Common Pitfalls

- Writing scenarios after implementation
- Including too many steps per scenario
- Using vague or ambiguous language
- Forgetting negative test cases
- Not organizing with tags effectively

jax-development

Included

Use this skill when the user is writing, debugging, profiling, refactoring, reviewing, benchmarking, parallelising, exporting, or explaining JAX code, or when they mention JAX, jax.numpy, jit, grad, value_and_grad, vmap, scan, lax, random keys, pytrees, jax.Array, sharding, Mesh, PartitionSpec, NamedSharding, pmap, shard_map, Pallas, XLA, StableHLO, checkify, profiler, or the JAX repo. It helps turn NumPy or PyTorch-style code into pure functional JAX, fix tracer/control-flow/shape/PRNG bugs, remove recompiles and host-device syncs, choose transforms and sharding strategies, inspect jaxpr/lowering/IR, and benchmark compiled code correctly.

Writing & Docsscripts

nature-article-writer

Included

Drafts, rewrites, diagnostically critiques, and style-calibrates primary research manuscripts for Nature and Nature Portfolio journals. Use when the user wants a Nature-style title, summary paragraph or abstract, introduction, results, discussion, methods, figure legends, presubmission enquiry, cover letter, reviewer response, or when a scientific draft sounds generic, jargon-heavy, structurally weak, or AI-ish and needs precise, broad-reader-friendly prose without inventing data, analyses, or references. Best for primary research articles and letters rather than reviews or press releases unless explicitly adapting one.

Writing & Docsscripts

deckrd

Included

Document-driven framework that derives requirements, specifications, implementation plans, and executable tasks from goals through structured AI dialogue. Use when user says "write requirements", "create spec", "plan implementation", "derive tasks", "structure this feature", "break down into tasks", or "document this module". Also use for reverse engineering existing code into docs (/deckrd rev). Do NOT use for direct code writing — use /deckrd-coder after tasks are generated. Do NOT use when the user only wants to run or fix existing code without planning.

Writing & Docsscripts

clinical-decision-support

Included

Generate professional clinical decision support (CDS) documents for pharmaceutical and clinical research settings, including patient cohort analyses (biomarker-stratified with outcomes) and treatment recommendation reports (evidence-based guidelines with decision algorithms). Supports GRADE evidence grading, statistical analysis (hazard ratios, survival curves, waterfall plots), biomarker integration, and regulatory compliance. Outputs publication-ready LaTeX/PDF format optimized for drug development, clinical research, and evidence synthesis.

Writing & Docsscripts

handling-sf-data

Included

Salesforce data operations with 130-point scoring. Use this skill to create, update, delete, bulk import/export, generate test data, and clean up org records using sf CLI and anonymous Apex. TRIGGER when: user creates test data, performs bulk import/export, uses sf data CLI commands, needs data factory patterns for Apex tests, or needs to seed/clean records in a Salesforce org. DO NOT TRIGGER when: SOQL query writing only (use querying-soql), Apex test execution (use running-apex-tests), or metadata deployment (use deploying-metadata).

Writing & Docsscripts

accelint-ac-to-playwright

Included

Convert and validate acceptance criteria for Playwright test automation. Use when user asks to (1) review/evaluate/check if AC are ready for automation, (2) assess if AC can be converted as-is, (3) validate AC quality for Playwright, (4) turn AC into tests, (5) generate tests from acceptance criteria, (6) convert .md bullets or .feature Gherkin files to Playwright specs, (7) create test automation from requirements. Handles both bullet-style markdown and Gherkin syntax with JSON test plan generation and validation.
