Does it support Test-Driven Development (TDD)?

Yes, it enforces a strict 6-gate process (Build, Launch, Wait, Check, Read Logs, Verify) before allowing E2E tests to run.

Do I need to install Hammerspoon separately?

Yes, Hammerspoon and its CLI tool (hs) must be installed on your Mac, and you must grant it Accessibility permissions in System Preferences.

What is the primary use of the dev-test-hammerspoon skill?

It is designed for automating and testing native macOS applications, including UI interactions, system-level workflows, and visual verification.

Can I use this for web application testing?

No, this skill is specifically for native macOS apps. For web testing, you should use the dev-test-chrome or Playwright skills.

How does it handle visual verification?

The skill includes specialized commands to capture screenshots of specific windows, regions, or the entire screen to provide evidence of successful test execution.
