# Step 2: Generation Mode Selection
## STEP GOAL
Choose the appropriate generation mode for ATDD tests.
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES
- 📖 Read the entire step file before acting
- ✅ Speak in `{communication_language}`
---
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Follow the MANDATORY SEQUENCE exactly
- 💾 Record outputs before proceeding
- 📖 Load the next step only when instructed
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Available context: config, loaded artifacts, and knowledge fragments
- Focus: this step's goal only
- Limits: do not execute future steps
- Dependencies: prior steps' outputs (if any)
## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise.
## 1. Default Mode: AI Generation
Use AI generation when:
- Acceptance criteria are clear
- Scenarios are standard (CRUD, auth, API, navigation)
- **If {detected_stack} is `backend`:** Always use AI generation (no browser recording needed)
Proceed directly to test strategy if this applies.
---
## 2. Optional Mode: Recording (Complex UI)
**Skip this section entirely if {detected_stack} is `backend`.** For backend projects, use AI generation from API documentation, OpenAPI/Swagger specs, or source code analysis instead.
**If {detected_stack} is `frontend` or `fullstack`:**
Use recording when UI interactions need live browser verification.
**Tool selection based on `config.tea_browser_automation`:**
If `auto`:
> **Note:** `${timestamp}` is a placeholder the agent should replace with a unique value (e.g., epoch seconds) for session isolation.
- **Simple recording** (snapshot selectors, capture structure): Use CLI
- `playwright-cli -s=tea-atdd-${timestamp} open <url>``playwright-cli -s=tea-atdd-${timestamp} snapshot` → extract refs
- **Complex recording** (drag/drop, wizards, multi-step state): Use MCP
- Full browser automation with rich tool semantics
- **Fallback:** If preferred tool unavailable, use the other; if neither, skip recording
If `cli`:
- Use Playwright CLI for all recording
- `playwright-cli -s=tea-atdd-${timestamp} open <url>`, `snapshot`, `screenshot`, `click <ref>`, etc.
If `mcp`:
- Use Playwright MCP tools for all recording (current behavior)
- Confirm MCP availability, record selectors and interactions
If `none`:
- Skip recording mode entirely, use AI generation from documentation
---
## 3. Confirm Mode
State the chosen mode and why. Then proceed.
---
## 4. Save Progress
**Save this step's accumulated work to `{outputFile}`.**
- **If `{outputFile}` does not exist** (first save), create it with YAML frontmatter:
```yaml
---
stepsCompleted: ['step-02-generation-mode']
lastStep: 'step-02-generation-mode'
lastSaved: '{date}'
---
```
Then write this step's output below the frontmatter.
- **If `{outputFile}` already exists**, update:
- Add `'step-02-generation-mode'` to `stepsCompleted` array (only if not already present)
- Set `lastStep: 'step-02-generation-mode'`
- Set `lastSaved: '{date}'`
- Append this step's output to the appropriate section.
Load next step: `{nextStepFile}`
## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS:
### ✅ SUCCESS:
- Step completed in full with required outputs
### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
- Skipped sequence steps or missing outputs
**Master Rule:** Skipping steps is FORBIDDEN.
