SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When an AI coding assistant writes code and then reviews its own work, it carries the same assumptions into both steps, creating systematic blind spots where bugs survive review. This Skill provides testing patterns that mechanically catch these AI-introduced regressions, especially sandbox/production path mismatches and incomplete SELECT clauses. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Sandbox-Mode API Testing: Set up Vitest with Next.js App Router to test API routes without a database by forcing sandbox/mock mode via environment variables. - Bug-Driven Regression Tests: Write tests targeting bugs that were actually found, asserting API response shapes and required fields rather than implementation details. - Bug-Check Workflow Integration: Embed automated test and build runs as mandatory first steps in code review commands before any AI self-review. - Use Case: After an AI assistant fixes a missing notification_settings field in a profile API, write a regression test asserting the field exists in the response, then run it in every bug-check so the same bug cannot be reintroduced. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to set up sandbox-mode Vitest regression tests for the API route where a bug was just fixed, asserting all required response fields are present.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test Next.js API routes without a database?▼

Force sandbox mode in the Vitest setup file by setting environment variables like SANDBOX_MODE=true before tests run. Then call the route handlers directly with a NextRequest built by a test helper, asserting on the parsed JSON response.

How to catch regressions introduced by AI coding assistants?▼

Write a regression test immediately after each bug is found, asserting the API response shape rather than implementation details. Run the test suite as the mandatory first step of every bug-check workflow, before any AI code review.

What is sandbox/production path mismatch in API testing?▼

It is the most common AI regression pattern, where a fix updates the production code path but forgets the sandbox/mock path, or vice versa. Catch it by asserting both paths return the same response fields in sandbox-mode tests.

Does this testing approach work with Supabase or Prisma backends?▼

Yes, the patterns apply to Supabase and Prisma projects, especially for catching SELECT clause omissions when new columns are added. Tests assert that all required fields appear in the response, which fails if the query forgot to select them.

Should I aim for high test coverage with AI-generated code?▼

No, the recommended strategy is to test only where bugs were found, not to chase coverage percentages. Bugs cluster in complex areas like auth and multi-path logic, so targeted regression tests prevent repeats without wasted effort.
