…generation (Phase 1) Adds Chrome DevTools as primary locator generation strategy for Playwright-BDD Phase 2 workflow. Developers can now inspect running localhost apps to generate and validate locators automatically. Changes: - playwright-locator-generator agent: Added Step 0a/0b for Chrome MCP availability check and live inspection workflow - playwright-bdd command: Updated Phase 2 to offer three-option choice (Chrome/Repo/HTML) - Discovery doc: Captures 5 key design decisions from developer interview - Phase 1 spec: 39 acceptance criteria for walking skeleton (ONE element) Features: - Hybrid element finding (natural language find tool → JavaScript DOM query fallback) - Auto-detects and starts dev server from package.json scripts - Validates all locators via interaction testing (click/fill/visibility) - Comprehensive attribute extraction including aria-labelledby and label text - Graceful degradation when Chrome MCP unavailable (silent fallback to repo/HTML) - Phase 1 limitation: ONE element only (multi-element support in Phase 2) Spec coverage: 39/39 ACs (100%) Risk level: MODERATE Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Integrating recent changes from main (PR #21 - spec slice order updates, SDD workflow) with Chrome DevTools Phase 1 implementation. Conflict resolution: - bee/README.md: Kept feature branch count (11 commands, 37 agents) which includes playwright-bdd plugin with 11 additional agents for test automation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Addresses issue where semantic matching returned irrelevant steps from different flow contexts (e.g., suggesting logout steps when matching in login flow). Changes: - Add playwright-flow-analyzer agent to scan feature files and build flow graphs - Enhance step-matcher with context-aware filtering using position, preceding/following context, and flow stage scoring - Integrate flow analysis into playwright-bdd workflow (Step 2.25) - Use composite scoring: 70% semantic similarity + 30% contextual relevance Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Implement persistent caching system for Playwright-BDD workflow to reduce token usage, preserve project knowledge, and avoid repeating analysis. Phase 1: Cache Infrastructure - Add cache-writer.sh and cache-reader.sh for silent persistence - Create docs/playwright-init.md with human-readable markdown format - Implement file count-based invalidation (±2 threshold) - Add Step 1.5 to playwright-bdd.md for cache check workflow - Handle empty repos, corrupt cache, and partial cache detection Phase 2: Intelligent Gap Detection - Add smart gap identification to playwright-step-matcher agent - Check pattern & flow catalogs for similarity (60% threshold) - Generate multi-source suggestions (patterns, flows, existing steps) - Add inline gap suggestions to approval files with one-by-one approval - Include Cucumber expression parameters and file location recommendations Phase 3: Documentation and Polish - Add comprehensive cache documentation to bee/CLAUDE.md - Include cache location, invalidation rules, and re-analysis options - Implement user-facing messages for transparency - Auto-select recommended options in prompts - Ensure cache is git-friendly and human-readable Test Coverage: 368 passing tests across 7 test suites - 94 cache script tests - 150 workflow integration tests - 26 gap detection tests - 62 suggestion generation tests - 36 cache documentation tests All 31 acceptance criteria delivered across 3 phases. Closes #[issue-number]
Add Step 4.5 that prompts users to identify already-implemented scenarios via checkbox selection. Extracts step patterns from implemented scenarios and feeds them to gap detection, then processes only unimplemented scenarios through the workflow. Handles all selection outcomes: - ALL implemented: extract patterns, exit gracefully - NONE implemented: process all scenarios normally - SOME implemented: process unimplemented, use implemented as patterns Benefits: reduces redundant work, leverages existing implementations to improve gap detection accuracy, maintains backward compatibility with single-scenario optimization.

Replace Grep-based keyword matching with skill invocation for smarter locator identification in UI repositories. Add locator-analysis skill to bee/skills for local use. Changes: - Add "Skill" tool to playwright-locator-generator agent - Replace manual Grep/keyword matching (lines 256-292) with skill invocation - Skill receives: step description, action type, repo path - Skill returns: locator, strategy, stability, warning, source - Add locator-analysis skill from global to local repo - Preserve error handling and fallback to outerHTML parsing The skill provides intelligent analysis of UI repos to identify existing test attributes and recommend locator strategies for Playwright tests.

…orkflow The workflow documented that cache should be written after Step 3 completes, but this was never implemented. After agents ran successfully, the workflow jumped directly to Step 4 without writing the cache. Added Step 3.5 that writes cache after all 4 agents complete successfully, gathering results from workflow state and invoking cache-writer.sh with all required parameters. Updated references throughout the document to point to the new step. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ation Two improvements to the playwright-bdd approval workflow: 1. Show proposed step definition code for no_matches cases - Previously just said "Create new step definition" with no preview - Now shows generated code, target file, and choice between proposed or custom - Developers can review actual code before creation 2. Integrate detected patterns from Step 2.5 into approval files - Patterns selected during pattern detection now offered as options - Appears in all three approval cases (candidates_found, gap_detected, no_matches) - Shows pattern description, implementation code, and usage count - Reduces duplication by reusing identified patterns - Patterns serve dual purpose: step matching (Step 5) and utility extraction (Phase 4) Updated step-matcher requirements to generate proposed code and check pattern relevance. Enhanced approval parsing to handle "Use pattern" decisions. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…dd workflow Added state tracking throughout the workflow to ensure no steps are skipped and provide visibility into progress. Every major step now validates that the previous step completed before proceeding. State Tracking: - Initialize state at workflow start with feature name and phase - Update state after each major step (17 update points total) - Track progress through all 5 phases (step definitions, POM, services, utilities, outline conversion) - Enable resume capability from last checkpoint - State persists in .claude/bee-state.local.md Validation Checkpoints (17 total): - Step 1.5: validates feature file validation completed - Step 2: validates cache decision made - Step 3: validates context gathering completed - Step 3.5: validates step indexing completed - Step 4: validates cache written or loaded - Step 4.5: validates scenarios extracted - Step 5: validates scenario filtering completed - Step 6: validates approval file generated - Step 7: validates approval received - Step 8: validates step definitions generated - Step 9: validates review approved - Step 10 (start): validates files written - Step 10 (locator strategy): validates POM approval received - MANDATORY checkpoint - Step 10 (pattern analysis): validates locator strategy selected - MANDATORY checkpoint - Step 10 (POM generation): validates patterns analyzed - MANDATORY checkpoint - Step 11: validates Phase 2 completed or skipped Additional Improvements: - Marked locator strategy selection as MANDATORY (cannot skip) - Added REQUIRED step: analyze existing POM patterns before generation - Enhanced error messages with current state and expected state - Documented validation pattern for all checkpoints This prevents the issues where: 1. Locator strategy prompt was skipped 2. POM generator didn't follow existing patterns 3. Steps could be executed out of order Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
