SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When an AI writes code and then reviews its own work, it carries the same assumptions into both steps, creating systematic blind spots where bugs survive repeated review cycles. This Skill provides testing patterns that mechanically catch AI-introduced regressions, especially sandbox/production path mismatches and incomplete SELECT clauses. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Sandbox-Mode API Testing: Configure Vitest with Next.js App Router to test API routes without a database by forcing sandbox mode via environment variables. - Bug-Driven Regression Tests: Write tests only for bugs that were actually found, naming them after the bug (e.g., "BUG-R1 regression") so the same failure cannot recur. - Bug-Check Workflow Integration: Define a custom command that runs tests and builds before any AI code review, then proposes a regression test for every fix. - Use Case: After an AI assistant fixes an API endpoint four times and misses the sandbox path each time, add a response-shape test that asserts all required fields exist, catching the regression instantly on the next run. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to set up sandbox-mode Vitest regression tests for the API routes where bugs were recently found.

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

Use sandbox mode by setting environment variables like SANDBOX_MODE=true in a Vitest setup file, then call route handlers directly with a NextRequest test helper. This runs API tests in under a second with no database dependency.

How to prevent AI coding assistants from reintroducing the same bug?

Write a regression test immediately after each bug is found, naming it after the bug (e.g., BUG-R1 regression). Run the test suite as the mandatory first step of every bug-check before any AI code review.

What are the most common bugs AI code generators introduce?

The most frequent pattern is sandbox/production path mismatch, where a fix is applied to one code path but not the other. Other common patterns include SELECT clause omissions, error state leakage, and optimistic updates without rollback.

Does Vitest work with Next.js App Router route handlers?

Yes. Configure Vitest with the node environment and a path alias, then import GET/POST handlers directly and pass a NextRequest built by a helper function. Responses are parsed with the standard Response.json() method.

Should I aim for high test coverage in AI-assisted projects?

No. Write tests only where bugs were actually found, since AI tends to repeat the same category of mistake in complex areas. Test count grows organically with bug fixes, avoiding wasted effort on stable code.
