How to use Cypress: what you can do with it

What is Cypress? CYPRESS is an installer that copies instruction files, Markdown method files and small Python scripts into a code repository so an AI coding tool follows a written workflow for specs, tests and delegation.

How do I use it? git clone https://github.com/llopresto87/Cypress; then ./Cypress/install.sh claude-code --project-dir /path/to/your/project; read the last line of the installer output, which says the files are placed and the project's graph is not built yet. Full steps below.

4 use cases

  • Install the CYPRESS workflow into a repository

    Copies the kernel, agent definitions and graph skeleton into your project with one installer command.

    View prompt
    In the Cypress repo, run the installer for claude-code against the project at <project-path>. Expected output: the installer reports the files as placed and the graph as not yet built. Verify that CLAUDE.md, .claude/ and docs/graph/ now exist in <project-path>.

  • Build a knowledge graph of your codebase

    Runs the one-time growth pass so later sessions open a few linked notes instead of rereading the code.

    View prompt
    In the Cypress repo, install the workflow into <project-path> and start the growth pass in a Claude Code session there. Expected output: notes under docs/graph/ and a filled plant entry in docs/graph/index.md. Verify that the router index links to the notes the session created.

  • Route a risky change through spec and failing test first

    Sorts a change into a risk tier, then requires a specification and failing test before code for high-risk work.

    View prompt
    In the Cypress-installed repo at <project-path>, ask a Claude Code session to classify and then implement the change described in <change-description> following the T3 process. Expected output: a specification file and a failing test committed or saved before the implementation. Verify that the failing test exists and fails before the code change is made.

  • Update the workflow without losing your edited files

    Re-runs the installer so changed files are kept as timestamped copies before replacement.

    View 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.

Quick start with Cypress

  1. Check you have what it needs: bash; Python 3.14 or newer on PATH; git, to clone the repository.
  2. Open llopresto87/Cypress on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. git clone https://github.com/llopresto87/Cypress
  4. ./Cypress/install.sh claude-code --project-dir /path/to/your/project
  5. Read the last line of the installer output, which says the files are placed and the project's graph is not built yet.

These steps come from our top use case, Install the CYPRESS workflow into a repository, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
