 "title": "Update the workflow without losing your edited files",
 "page_title": "How to update the workflow without losing your edited files with Cypress",
 "summary": "Re-runs the installer so changed files are kept as timestamped copies before replacement.",
 "who": "A developer who edited CYPRESS files in their repository and needs to reinstall or update the method without losing those edits.",
 "problem": "Re-running an installer can silently overwrite local changes to instruction files, so the team loses decisions made in those files.",
 "outcome": "Any file that differed from the new version is kept beside it as a timestamped copy, and matching files are left alone.",
 "steps": [
  "`./Cypress/install.sh claude-code --project-dir /path/to/your/project`",
  "Look in the project for timestamped copies of any file that differed.",
  "Compare each copy with its replacement and move your edits into the new file by hand.",
  "Check .cypress/seed.json for the version and options of the install."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the Cypress repo, re-run the claude-code installer against <project-path>. Expected output: a list of files replaced, each with a timestamped copy of the old version. Verify that .cypress/seed.json shows the new install stamp and that each timestamped copy still exists.",
 "agents": [
  "claude-code"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says the install does not merge files, so any edits in the timestamped copies must be moved into the new versions by you.",
