AutoReg: Skill Installer

One-click install of the generate-autoreg AI skill into any coding agent in your workspace — Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Continue, Devin, Roo Code, Cline, Kiro, Goose, Amazon Q, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, Aider, Plandex, Antigravity, and more.

The skill turns your app's source code into a rock-solid autoreg.md test specification that AutoReg uses to generate end-to-end tests that pass on the first run.

How it works

1. Install the skill — open the AutoReg panel in the activity bar. The extension detects which agent tools exist in your workspace (.claude/, .cursor/, .github/, …) and installs the skill file in the right place and format for each (slash command, rule, or prompt).
2. Run it in your agent — e.g. in Claude Code:

   /generate-autoreg /path/to/autoreg-project /path/to/app/src
   

3. Answer a few questions — the skill asks for test credentials, seed data, and sample values up front, then analyzes the entire codebase.
4. Get autoreg.md — a complete, self-verified spec. Import it into AutoReg to generate and run tests.

What the skill extracts

• Confirmed selectors, tier-ranked — data-testid → id → form semantics → aria → text — with unreliable selectors (hashed CSS-module classes, styled-components hashes, generated ids) explicitly blocked
• Every route across React, Next.js, Remix, Vue/Nuxt, Angular, Svelte, Astro, Rails, Django, Laravel, Spring, ASP.NET, plain HTML, and REST APIs — including auth requirements per route
• Domain types and validation schemas (verbatim) — powering realistic generated test data and exact-error-text negative scenarios
• Page behaviours — loading/transition patterns, network vs. client-side interactions, debounced search, modals, toasts
• Auth flows — login/logout/registration steps, role matrix, fresh-user pattern
• Test Data Catalog — user-provided, seeded, and generated values; secrets stay as {{placeholder}} tokens that AutoReg resolves at import time
• 8–25 self-contained test scenarios — positive and negative, using only confirmed selectors and catalogued data, self-verified before the file is written
• Cryptographic signature — the finished file is signed by the AutoReg cloud (Ed25519); the AutoReg app verifies it on import, rejecting tampered files and flagging unsigned ones

Extension features

• Sidebar panel — see every supported agent tool, which are detected in the workspace, and install/update/open/remove the skill per tool
• Status bar — installed-skill count at a glance
• Auto-detect — prompts once when an agent folder exists but the skill isn't installed (autoreg.autoDetect setting)
• Commands — AutoReg: Install generate-autoreg Skill, AutoReg: Open Installed Skill File, AutoReg: Show Skill Usage Instructions
• Fallback mode — no agent folder? The skill is saved to generate-autoreg/ so you can attach it to any AI agent as context

Requirements

• An AI coding agent (any of the tools above)
• An AutoReg project (.ar manifest) — optional; the skill falls back to sensible defaults without one
