init

/init - Project Genesis

Configure Triqual for the current project by analyzing its structure and generating personalized configuration files.

When to Use

• First time using Triqual in a project
• After major project restructuring (new test directories, different framework setup)
• When onboarding a new team member to ensure consistent configuration
• After updating Triqual plugin to regenerate configuration with new features

Quick Start

/init                    # Interactive - analyzes and generates config
/init --force            # Regenerate even if config exists

Step 0: Create .triqual Directory Structure

Before anything else, ensure the .triqual directory structure exists:

# Create .triqual directory structure
mkdir -p .triqual/runs .triqual/context

# Check if knowledge.md exists, create from template if not
ls .triqual/knowledge.md 2>/dev/null

If .triqual/knowledge.md doesn't exist, create it from the template at ${PLUGIN_ROOT}/context/knowledge.template.md:

# Get plugin root (where Triqual is installed)
# Copy knowledge template
cp "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/context/knowledge.template.md" .triqual/knowledge.md

The .triqual/ directory structure:

.triqual/
├── runs/           # Run logs for each feature (e.g., login.md, dashboard.md)
├── knowledge.md    # Project-specific test knowledge (accumulated learnings)
└── context/        # Pre-built context files per feature (generated by triqual_load_context)

Important: Run logs in .triqual/runs/ are required by hooks before writing test files. Context files in .triqual/context/ are required by hooks before dispatching test-planner.

---

Step 1: Check Existing Configuration

First, check if Triqual is already configured:

# Check for existing configuration files (prefer .ts)
ls triqual.config.ts 2>/dev/null || ls triqual.config.json 2>/dev/null

If configuration exists:

• Inform user: "Triqual is already configured. Use /init --force to regenerate."
• Exit unless --force flag is provided

If no configuration:

• Proceed with analysis

---

Step 2: Detect Project Structure

2.1 Find Playwright Configuration

# Look for Playwright config files
ls playwright.config.ts playwright.config.js 2>/dev/null

If found, read it to extract:

• testDir - Where tests are located
• baseURL - Default application URL
• timeout - Global timeout settings
• projects - Multi-project setup

2.2 Analyze package.json

cat package.json | grep -E '"@playwright|"playwright|"test":'

Extract:

• Playwright version
• Test scripts (npm test, npm run test:e2e, etc.)
• Related dependencies (test utilities)

2.3 Find Test Directories

Search in common locations:

# Common test directory patterns
ls -d tests/ test/ e2e/ automation/ playwright/ spec/ __tests__/ 2>/dev/null

# Playwright-specific
ls -d automation/playwright/tests/ e2e/tests/ tests/e2e/ 2>/dev/null

2.4 Locate Page Objects

# Find Page Object files
find . -name "*.page.ts" -o -name "*.page.js" -o -name "*Page.ts" -o -name "*Page.js" 2>/dev/null | head -20

2.5 Find Helpers and Utilities

# Find helper/utility files
find . -path "*/helpers/*" -name "*.ts" -o -path "*/utils/*" -name "*.ts" 2>/dev/null | head -20

---

Step 3: Analyze Existing Tests

3.1 Count Test Files

# Count .spec.ts and .test.ts files
find . -name "*.spec.ts" -o -name "*.test.ts" 2>/dev/null | wc -l

3.2 Extract Common Selectors

Read a sample of test files and identify selector patterns:

# Find most common selector patterns
grep -Erh "locator|getByRole|getByTestId|data-testid" --include="*.spec.ts" . 2>/dev/null | head -50

Identify:

• Primary strategy (data-testid, role, text)
• Custom attributes
• Page-specific patterns

3.3 Detect Timeout Patterns

# Check for timeout usage
grep -rh "timeout:" --include="*.spec.ts" . 2>/dev/null | head -20

3.4 Find Authentication Setup

# Look for auth setup
ls .auth/ auth.setup.ts global-setup.ts 2>/dev/null
grep -rh "storageState" --include="*.ts" . 2>/dev/null | head -10

---

Step 4: Detect Authentication Strategy

This is critical for /test to work with authenticated flows. Detect what auth methods are available and choose the best strategy.

4.1 Check for Saved StorageState

# Check for .auth/ directory with saved state
ls -la .auth/*.json 2>/dev/null

# Common patterns
ls .auth/user.json .auth/admin.json .auth/storageState.json 2>/dev/null

If found: Can use storageState directly via Playwright MCP's browser_run_code:

browser_run_code({
  code: `async (page) => {
    await page.context().addCookies(require('./.auth/user.json').cookies);
  }`
})

4.2 Check for Auth Setup Files

# Playwright auth setup patterns
ls auth.setup.ts tests/auth.setup.ts e2e/auth.setup.ts 2>/dev/null
ls global-setup.ts tests/global-setup.ts 2>/dev/null

If found: Read the file to understand the auth flow:

# Extract auth flow details
grep -A 20 "authenticate\|login\|storageState" auth.setup.ts 2>/dev/null

4.3 Check playwright.config.ts for Auth Projects

# Look for setup project configuration
grep -A 10 "name.*setup\|dependencies.*setup\|storageState" playwright.config.ts 2>/dev/null

Look for patterns like:

// Project with dependencies
{
  name: 'chromium',
  use: { storageState: '.auth/user.json' },
  dependencies: ['setup'],
}

// Setup project
{
  name: 'setup',
  testMatch: /.*\.setup\.ts/,
}

4.4 Locate Test Credentials

# Find credential files
find . -name "users.ts" -path "*test-data*" 2>/dev/null
find . -name "test-users.ts" -o -name "testUsers.ts" 2>/dev/null
find . -name "credentials.ts" -path "*test*" 2>/dev/null

# Check for environment-based credentials
ls .env.test .env.local .env.testing 2>/dev/null
grep -l "TEST_USER\|TEST_PASSWORD\|E2E_" .env* 2>/dev/null

Expected credential file format:

// automation/shared/test-data/users.ts
export const testUsers = {
  standard: {
    email: 'test@example.com',
    password: 'TestPass123!',
    name: 'Test User'
  },
  admin: {
    email: 'admin@example.com',
    password: 'AdminPass123!',
    name: 'Admin User'
  }
};

4.5 Detect Login Page Selectors

If we need to log in via UI, find the login page selectors:

# Find login-related test files or page objects
find . -name "*login*" -name "*.ts" 2>/dev/null | head -10
find . -name "*Login*" -name "*.ts" 2>/dev/null | head -10

# Extract login selectors from existing code
grep -rh "email\|password\|login\|submit" --include="*[Ll]ogin*.ts" . 2>/dev/null | head -20

4.6 Determine Auth Strategy

Based on detection, choose the best strategy for /test:

Priority	Strategy	When to Use	Config Key
1	storageState	.auth/*.json exists and is fresh	auth.strategy: "storageState"
2	setupProject	auth.setup.ts exists with dependencies	auth.strategy: "setupProject"
3	uiLogin	Credentials file exists, no saved state	auth.strategy: "uiLogin"
4	none	No auth needed or not detected	auth.strategy: "none"

4.7 Generate Auth Configuration

Add to triqual.config.ts:

import { defineConfig } from 'triqual';
import { testUsers } from './automation/shared/test-data/users';

export default defineConfig({
  // ... other config
  auth: {
    strategy: 'storageState', // or 'setupProject' | 'uiLogin' | 'none'

    storageState: {
      path: '.auth/user.json',
    },

    uiLogin: {
      credentials: testUsers.standard,
      loginUrl: '/login',
      selectors: {
        email: '[data-testid="email"]',
        password: '[data-testid="password"]',
        submit: '[type="submit"]',
      },
      successUrl: '/dashboard',
    },

    setupProject: 'setup',

    users: {
      default: 'standard',
      available: testUsers,
    },

    fallbackChain: ['storageState', 'uiLogin', 'none'],
  },
});

---

Step 5: Detect MCP Capabilities

Check what MCP tools are available and configure accordingly.

5.1 Check Playwright MCP

The /test skill uses Playwright MCP for browser automation. Verify it's available:

# Check if Playwright MCP is in .mcp.json
cat .mcp.json 2>/dev/null | grep -i playwright

Playwright MCP capabilities for auth:

Tool	Auth Use Case
browser_navigate	Go to login page
browser_fill_form	Fill email/password
browser_click	Click submit
browser_snapshot	Verify logged in state
browser_run_code	Load/save storageState

5.2 Check storageState via browser_run_code

If .auth/ exists, we can load it:

// Load saved auth state
browser_run_code({
  code: `async (page) => {
    const fs = require('fs');
    const state = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('.auth/user.json', 'utf8'));
    await page.context().addCookies(state.cookies || []);
    // localStorage needs page navigation first
    await page.goto('/');
    await page.evaluate((storage) => {
      for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(storage)) {
        localStorage.setItem(key, value);
      }
    }, state.origins?.[0]?.localStorage || {});
  }`
})

5.3 Configure Auth Fallback Chain

Store the fallback chain in config:

{
  "auth": {
    "strategy": "storageState",
    "fallbackChain": [
      {
        "strategy": "storageState",
        "condition": ".auth/user.json exists and < 24h old"
      },
      {
        "strategy": "uiLogin",
        "condition": "storageState missing or expired"
      },
      {
        "strategy": "none",
        "condition": "no credentials available"
      }
    ]
  }
}

5.4 Check Quoth/Exolar Connectivity

# These are configured in .mcp.json
cat .mcp.json 2>/dev/null | grep -E "quoth|exolar"

Add to config:

{
  "mcp": {
    "playwright": true,
    "quoth": true,
    "exolar": true,
    "linear": false
  }
}

---

Step 6: Generate Configuration

Based on analysis, generate configuration files.

6.1 triqual.config.ts (Required)

Create at project root using the template from ${PLUGIN_ROOT}/context/config.template.ts:

import { defineConfig } from 'triqual';
// Uncomment if you have a test users file:
// import { testUsers } from '{credentialsFile}';

export default defineConfig({
  project_id: '{project-name-from-package.json}',
  testDir: '{detected-test-directory}',
  baseUrl: process.env.BASE_URL || '{detected-base-url}',
  playwrightConfig: '{path-to-playwright.config.ts}',

  auth: {
    strategy: '{detected-strategy}', // 'storageState' | 'uiLogin' | 'setupProject' | 'none'
    // ... auth config based on detection
  },

  context: {
    patternsFile: './Docs/context/patterns.json',
    selectorsFile: './Docs/context/selectors.json',
    projectFile: './Docs/context/project.json',
  },
});

Example generated config:

import { defineConfig } from 'triqual';
import { testUsers } from './automation/shared/test-data/users';

export default defineConfig({
  project_id: 'my-project',
  testDir: './automation/playwright/tests',
  baseUrl: process.env.BASE_URL || 'http://localhost:3000',
  playwrightConfig: './playwright.config.ts',

  auth: {
    strategy: 'storageState',
    storageState: {
      path: '.auth/user.json',
    },
    uiLogin: {
      credentials: testUsers.standard,
      loginUrl: '/login',
      selectors: {
        email: '[data-testid="email"]',
        password: '[data-testid="password"]',
        submit: '[type="submit"]',
      },
      successUrl: '/dashboard',
    },
    users: {
      default: 'standard',
      available: testUsers,
    },
    fallbackChain: ['storageState', 'uiLogin', 'none'],
  },

  environments: {
    local: 'http://localhost:3000',
    staging: 'https://staging.example.com',
    production: 'https://app.example.com',
  },

  mcp: {
    playwright: true,
    quoth: true,
    exolar: true,
    linear: false,
  },

  patterns: {
    selectors: {
      prefer: 'data-testid',
      fallback: ['role', 'text'],
      testIdAttribute: 'data-testid',
    },
    timeout: {
      default: 30000,
      ci: 60000,
      local: 15000,
    },
    healing: {
      enabled: true,
      maxAttempts: 5,
    },
  },

  draftDir: './tests/.draft',

  context: {
    patternsFile: './Docs/context/patterns.json',
    selectorsFile: './Docs/context/selectors.json',
    projectFile: './Docs/context/project.json',
  },
});

6.2 Docs/context/project.json (Recommended)

mkdir -p Docs/context

Generate with detected paths:

{
  "name": "{from-package.json}",
  "description": "{from-package.json-description}",
  "testDir": "{detected}",
  "pagesDir": "{detected-pages-directory}",
  "helpersDir": "{detected-helpers-directory}",
  "baseUrl": "{detected}",
  "environments": {
    "local": "http://localhost:3000",
    "staging": "{if-detected}",
    "production": "{if-detected}"
  },
  "auth": {
    "storageState": "{detected-auth-file}",
    "setupProject": "{detected-setup-project}"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "test": "{from-package.json}",
    "test:headed": "{detected-or-suggested}"
  }
}

6.3 Docs/context/patterns.json (Recommended)

Generate based on existing test analysis:

{
  "timeout": {
    "default": "{detected-or-30000}",
    "ci": "{detected-or-60000}",
    "local": "{detected-or-15000}"
  },
  "retry": {
    "maxAttempts": "{detected-or-3}",
    "backoffMs": 1000
  },
  "selectors": {
    "preferDataTestId": "{detected-pattern}",
    "fallbackToRole": true,
    "antiPatterns": [
      "nth(0) without :visible",
      "complex XPath",
      "fragile CSS chains"
    ]
  },
  "assertions": {
    "defaultTimeout": "{detected-or-5000}",
    "preferSoftAssertions": false
  },
  "healing": {
    "enabled": true,
    "maxAttempts": 3,
    "strategies": ["visibility", "role-fallback", "text-content"]
  },
  "generation": {
    "includeComments": true,
    "usePageObjects": "{detected-if-exists}",
    "arrangeActAssert": true
  },
  "naming": {
    "testFiles": "{feature}.spec.ts",
    "pageObjects": "{Feature}Page.ts",
    "helpers": "{name}.helper.ts"
  }
}

6.4 Docs/context/selectors.json (If tests exist)

Only generate if existing tests were found. Extract actual patterns:

{
  "strategy": {
    "priority": ["data-testid", "role", "text", "css"],
    "custom": {
      "testIdAttribute": "{detected-or-data-testid}"
    }
  },
  "components": {
    "button": {
      "primary": "{detected-pattern}",
      "secondary": "{detected-pattern}",
      "submit": "{detected-pattern}"
    },
    "input": {
      "text": "{detected-pattern}",
      "email": "{detected-pattern}",
      "password": "{detected-pattern}"
    },
    "modal": {
      "container": "{detected-pattern}",
      "close": "{detected-pattern}"
    }
  },
  "pages": {
    "{detected-page-1}": {
      "{element}": "{selector}"
    },
    "{detected-page-2}": {
      "{element}": "{selector}"
    }
  },
  "antiPatterns": [
    "{detected-bad-patterns}"
  ]
}

---

Step 5: Initialize Playwright Agents

Playwright 1.56+ includes built-in agents for autonomous test generation. Initialize them for /test support.

5.1 Check Playwright Version

# Get Playwright version
npm list playwright @playwright/test 2>/dev/null | grep playwright

Required: Version 1.56 or higher for Agents support.

5.2 Check if Agents Already Initialized

# Look for agents directory
ls .agents/ 2>/dev/null

5.3 Initialize Agents (if needed)

# Initialize Playwright Agents with Claude Code loop
npx playwright init-agents --loop=claude

This creates:

• .agents/ directory with agent definitions
• Customizable planner, generator, and healer agents

5.4 Locate Test Credentials

Find test user credentials for autonomous login:

# Common locations
find . -name "users.ts" -path "*test-data*" 2>/dev/null
find . -name "test-users.ts" 2>/dev/null

Store location in config for /test to use:

{
  "autoTest": {
    "credentialsFile": "./automation/shared/test-data/users.ts",
    "draftDir": "./tests/.draft"
  }
}

---

Step 7: Display Summary

After generating configuration, display a comprehensive summary:

## Triqual Initialized Successfully

### Project Analysis

| Aspect | Detected |
|--------|----------|
| Project Name | {name} |
| Test Framework | Playwright {version} |
| Test Directory | {testDir} |
| Test Files Found | {count} |
| Page Objects | {count} |
| Base URL | {baseUrl} |

### Authentication Detection

| Aspect | Status |
|--------|--------|
| Strategy | {storageState / setupProject / uiLogin / none} |
| StorageState (.auth/) | {found: .auth/user.json / not found} |
| Auth Setup File | {auth.setup.ts / global-setup.ts / not found} |
| Credentials File | {path / not found} |
| Login Selectors | {detected / not detected} |

**Auth Strategy Explanation:**

- **storageState**: Found `.auth/user.json` - will load saved cookies/localStorage via Playwright MCP
- **setupProject**: Found `auth.setup.ts` - will run setup project before tests
- **uiLogin**: Found credentials but no saved state - will log in via UI using Playwright MCP
- **none**: No auth required or not detected

### Files Generated

| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `triqual.config.ts` | Main configuration with TypeScript types |
| `Docs/context/project.json` | Project metadata |
| `Docs/context/patterns.json` | Test patterns & conventions |
| `Docs/context/selectors.json` | Locator strategies |

### Detected Patterns

- **Primary Selector Strategy**: {data-testid | role | text}
- **Timeout**: {default}ms (CI: {ci}ms)
- **Auth Method**: {strategy with details}

### MCP Capabilities

| MCP Server | Status | Used For |
|------------|--------|----------|

### How /test Will Handle Authentication

Based on detection, `/test` will:

1. **If storageState available:**

→ Load .auth/user.json via browser_run_code → Skip login flow → Proceed directly to feature testing

2. **If uiLogin configured:**

→ Navigate to {loginUrl} → Fill credentials from {credentialsFile} → Click submit and wait for {successUrl} → Optionally save state for future runs

3. **If no auth:**

→ Proceed directly to feature testing

### Documented Learning Loop

Triqual enforces a documented learning loop for all test development:

ANALYZE → RESEARCH → PLAN → WRITE → RUN → LEARN

Each stage must be documented in run logs at `.triqual/runs/{feature}.md` before proceeding.

**Hooks enforce this by blocking actions until documentation is complete:**
- Cannot write test code without ANALYZE, RESEARCH, PLAN stages
- Cannot retry tests without documenting results
- Cannot exceed 2 same-category failures without external research (Quoth/Exolar)
- Cannot exceed 3 attempts without .fixme() or justification

### Directory Structure Created

.triqual/ ├── runs/ # Run logs for each feature │ └── {feature}.md # Documents: analyze, research, plan, write, run, learn └── knowledge.md # Accumulated project-specific patterns

### Next Steps

1. **Review generated configs** - Adjust auth settings if needed
2. **Create your first run log** - Required before writing any test
3. **Verify auth works**: `/test --explore login` - Test the login flow
4. **Generate tests**: `/test dashboard` - Full autonomous test generation
5. **From tickets**: `/test --ticket ENG-123` - Generate from Linear

### MCP Servers

Triqual uses these MCP servers (authenticate when prompted):
- **Playwright MCP** - Browser automation (auto-installed)
- **Quoth** - Pattern documentation
- **Exolar** - Test analytics

Interactive Mode (No Arguments)

When run without arguments, guide the user through any missing information:

1. If no playwright.config found:

   No Playwright config detected. Please specify:
   - Test directory path: [./tests]
   - Base URL: [http://localhost:3000]
   

2. If multiple test directories found:

   Multiple test directories detected:
   1. ./tests
   2. ./e2e
   3. ./automation/playwright/tests
   
   Which should Triqual use? [3]
   

3. If no tests exist yet:

   No existing tests found. Generating starter configuration.
   Use /test to create your first test.

Force Regeneration

When --force is provided:

1. Backup existing config:

   cp triqual.config.ts triqual.config.ts.backup
   

2. Re-run full analysis

3. Show diff of changes:

   ### Configuration Changes
   
   **triqual.config.ts**
   - testDir: './tests' → './automation/playwright/tests'
   - baseUrl: (unchanged)
   + New: context.patternsFile

Configuration Templates

Minimal Configuration (New Project)

// triqual.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'triqual';

export default defineConfig({
  project_id: 'my-new-project',
  testDir: './tests',
  baseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000',
});

Full Configuration (Existing Project)

// triqual.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'triqual';
import { testUsers } from './automation/shared/test-data/users';

export default defineConfig({
  project_id: 'enterprise-app',
  testDir: './automation/playwright/tests',
  baseUrl: process.env.BASE_URL || 'http://localhost:3000',
  playwrightConfig: './playwright.config.ts',

  auth: {
    strategy: 'storageState',
    storageState: {
      path: '.auth/user.json',
    },
    uiLogin: {
      credentials: testUsers.standard,
      loginUrl: '/login',
      selectors: {
        email: '[data-testid="email"]',
        password: '[data-testid="password"]',
        submit: '[type="submit"]',
      },
      successUrl: '/dashboard',
    },
    users: {
      default: 'standard',
      available: testUsers,
    },
    fallbackChain: ['storageState', 'uiLogin', 'none'],
  },

  environments: {
    local: 'http://localhost:3000',
    staging: 'https://staging.example.com',
    production: 'https://app.example.com',
  },

  mcp: {
    playwright: true,
    quoth: true,
    exolar: true,
    linear: false,
  },

  patterns: {
    selectors: {
      prefer: 'data-testid',
      fallback: ['role', 'text'],
    },
    timeout: {
      default: 30000,
      ci: 60000,
      local: 15000,
    },
    healing: {
      enabled: true,
      maxAttempts: 5,
    },
  },

  draftDir: './tests/.draft',

  context: {
    patternsFile: './Docs/context/patterns.json',
    selectorsFile: './Docs/context/selectors.json',
    projectFile: './Docs/context/project.json',
  },
});

What This Skill Does NOT Do

• Run tests - Use /test or npx playwright test
• Generate test files - Use /test or /test --describe
• Heal failures - That's the triqual-plugin:test-healer agent
• Fetch tickets - Use /test --ticket ENG-123

This skill is for initial setup and configuration only.

Troubleshooting

"Permission denied creating Docs/context"

mkdir -p Docs/context
chmod 755 Docs/context

"playwright.config.ts not found"

Triqual can work without it. Specify paths manually in triqual.config.ts.

"Tests in unexpected location"

Edit triqual.config.ts and set testDir to correct path.

"Config seems wrong after regeneration"

Restore backup:

cp triqual.config.ts.backup triqual.config.ts

Integration with Hooks

After init completes, Triqual hooks will:

1. SessionStart - Load generated configuration
2. PreSpecWrite - Use patterns.json for test generation
3. PostTestRun - Reference project.json for reporting
4. Stop - Include config in session summary

The configuration you generate here powers all other Triqual features.
