expect vs testing-e2e

Two Engineering Claude Code skills, side by side. Pick the right skill for your workflow with a side-by-side look at metadata, sample code, and install commands.

Side-by-side

Sample code from each SKILL.md

/ork:expect                              # Auto-detect changes, test affected pages
/ork:expect -m "test the checkout flow"  # Specific instruction
/ork:expect --flow login                 # Replay a saved test flow
/ork:expect --target branch              # Test all changes on current branch vs main
/ork:expect -y                           # Skip plan review, run immediately

import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

test('user can complete checkout', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('/products');
  await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Add to cart' }).click();
  await page.getByRole('link', { name: 'Checkout' }).click();
  await page.getByLabel('Email').fill('[email protected]');
  await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }).click();
  await expect(page.getByRole('heading', { name: 'Order confirmed' })).toBeVisible();
});

When to choose each

expect — Diff-aware AI browser testing — analyzes git changes, generates targeted test plans, and executes them via agent-browser (Rust daemon + CDP, ARIA-tree-first). Reads git diff to determine what changed, maps changes to…

testing-e2e — End-to-end testing patterns with Playwright — page objects, AI agent testing, visual regression, accessibility testing with axe-core, and CI integration. Use when writing E2E tests, setting up Playwright, implementing…

Both are free to install. If you're unsure, install both — Claude Code skills are isolated by filename and only collide if their trigger phrases overlap (rare). The richest signal is the SKILL.md body itself — open both skill pages and read the first paragraph of each.
