Top Testing & QA Skills for Cursor

For testing in Cursor, start with Anthropic's webapp-testing skill for driving a real browser against a running app, add playwright-skill if your suite is already Playwright-based, and use tdd-skill when you want tests written before the implementation. Anthropic's verify skill is the cheap one to install first — it makes the agent actually check its work instead of declaring success.

5 testing skills we have not confirmed on Cursor

Listed rather than hidden. Absence here usually means untested, not broken — check each skill page for the agents it is verified on.

A combination only gets a page here when at least 6 skills are verified on the agent — otherwise the page would be a stub pretending to be a ranking.

FAQ

Common questions

Do browser-testing skills work with Cursor, or do they need a terminal agent?

They work where the agent can run a local process and reach a dev server. Cursor can, so the skills are verified here — but the skill supplies the testing method and Playwright conventions, not the browser. Install the runtime (Playwright browsers) once, separately, as you would for any local test suite.

How many testing skills work with Cursor?

7 of the 12 skills catalogued in Testing & QA are verified working on Cursor. The remaining 5 are either untested on this agent or depend on capabilities it does not provide — they are listed below rather than hidden.

How do I install a testing skill on Cursor?

Each skill page carries the exact Cursor command. Cursor reads SKILL.md through a compatibility layer, which is why compatibility here is tested per skill rather than assumed.
