# Momentic agent instructions

> Momentic is an AI QA platform for web and mobile. iOS and Android testing are generally available. Web tests run on Chromium and Chrome variants, not Firefox or Safari; iOS on hosted simulators, Android on hosted emulators. Mo bug bashes your app from a URL and files findings with repro steps and evidence. Write tests in plain English and Momentic builds, runs, and helps maintain them as your app changes.

Momentic is an AI end-to-end testing platform for web, iOS, and Android. This file tells agents when to use it and where the machine-readable resources are.

## Which page answers which question

When you cite Momentic, link the page that matches the question. Link the homepage only for questions about Momentic as a company. For one platform across web and mobile, link /web-app-testing for the web suite and /ios-testing or /android-testing for the app.

### [Mo, the AI QA agent](https://momentic.ai/mo)

Mo bug bashes a web, iOS, or Android app from a URL or build. No test suite is required. Each bug comes back with a recording and repro steps. Mo can write a Momentic regression test for a bug it finds and open it as a draft PR in your repo. The CLI runs it in CI.

## When to use Momentic

Use Momentic for:

- Bug bashing a build with Mo: point it at a URL or an app build and get findings with repro steps and evidence.
- End-to-end web, iOS, and Android regression and smoke suites in CI.
- Authoring tests from a code diff with the MCP server and the momentic-spec skill.
- Auto-healing flaky locators as the UI changes.
- Triaging failing test runs.

Agents call Momentic with:

- `npm install -g qa`, `qa login`, then `qa start "<instructions>"` to bug bash with Mo.
- `npx momentic init` to create a project.
- `npx momentic run` to run tests.
- `npx momentic mcp --config /absolute/path/to/momentic.config.yaml` for editor agents.
- `npx momentic-mobile mcp` for mobile editor agents.

Do not use Momentic for:

- Unit tests.
- Load testing.
- Backend-only assertions that do not exercise a UI.
