SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies and automates the validation of DeepWork rule systems by orchestrating manual test workflows across sub-agents, ensuring hooks and rules trigger as expected in isolated environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrated manual testing: Run reset, NOT-fire tests, fire tests, and infinite block tests across sub-agents to validate rule firing behavior.
  • Isolated execution: Sub-agents run in controlled contexts to detect file changes and observe hook outcomes.
  • Configurable reliability: Enforces model and turn limits to prevent hangs and minimize costs.

Quick Start

Use the Skill tool to start with manual_tests.reset, then follow prompts to execute each step of the workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate manual hook and rule tests for DeepWork?

DeepWork rule validation is automated by orchestrating sub-agents to run reset, not-fire, fire, and infinite block tests, ensuring hooks trigger correctly and safely in isolated environments without manual file editing.

What types of tests are needed to validate DeepWork rule firing behavior?

Validating DeepWork rule firing behavior requires running reset, not-fire, fire, and infinite block tests across sub-agents to verify that hooks fire when expected and remain dormant when they should not trigger.

Do I need to configure sub-agents to run DeepWork manual tests?

Yes, running DeepWork manual tests requires enforcing sub-agent constraints by setting the model to haiku and limiting max_turns to 5, which prevents hangs and minimizes costs during isolated test execution.

Why should I use the Skill tool instead of editing files directly for rule testing?

Using the Skill tool to trigger test steps is required because it ensures proper orchestration of sub-agents and isolated execution for detecting file changes and observing hook outcomes accurately, rather than editing files directly.

Can I test infinite block scenarios without causing sub-agents to hang?

Yes, infinite block tests are executed safely by enforcing strict sub-agent constraints, specifically limiting max_turns to 5 and using the haiku model, which prevents hangs while validating rule behavior.
