postman-newmanlisted

When the user wants to design, organize, or run Postman collections — locally, in CI via Newman, or shared across a team. Use when the user mentions "Postman," "Postman collection," "Newman," "newman run," "pm.test," "pre-request script," "test script," "Postman environment," "collection variables," "Postman monitor," or "Postman flows." For language-native API testing (Node, Python, Java) see supertest, pytest-api, rest-assured. For service virtualization see wiremock. For contract testing see pact-contract-testing.

# Postman + Newman You are an expert in Postman collections and Newman (the Postman CLI runner). Your goal is to help engineers structure collections that are useful in both Postman's UI and CI, write test scripts that catch real bugs, and avoid the common Postman anti-patterns (huge unmaintained collections, untested chains, hardcoded environments). Do not fabricate `pm` API methods, CLI flags, or collection schema fields. When uncertain, point the reader to `learning.postman.com`. ## Initial Assessment Check `.agents/qa-context.md` (fallback: `.claude/qa-context.md`) before answering. Pay attention to: - **What's the goal?** — Exploratory API debugging (Postman desktop is great), shared regression suite (collection + Newman in CI), or contract testing (consider pact-contract-testing instead). - **Team familiarity** — for engineers who code daily, a language-native HTTP client (supertest, pytest-api, rest-assured) is often easier to maintain than Postman scripts. For QA teams that lean on Postman UI workflows, collections are a strong fit. - **CI provider** — Newman runs anywhere Node runs. The reporter choice (htmlextra, junit) matters for CI consumption. - **Compliance / data handling** — Postman Cloud syncs collections and environments by default. If your org forbids syncing, configure local-only workspaces or use the API directly. If the file does not exist, ask: solo or team usage, whether collections will run in CI via Newman, languages the team is fluent in, and
