regression-suite-curator

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams decide which tests belong in regression and smoke suites, which should be promoted, demoted, quarantined, or retired, and how to keep suite runtime within budget without losing meaningful protection.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Evidence-based curation: Builds a decision list using CI history, runtime, failure patterns, duplicate coverage, and ownership signals.
• Promotion and retirement rules: Ensures fixed bugs and postmortem gaps map to regression coverage, while dead, duplicate, or unreachable tests are retired with written rationale.
• Quarantine enforcement: Requires every quarantined test to have an owner, ticket, and expiry, and forces a decision when quarantine entries expire.
• Protected security regressions: Treats security regression tests as a protected class that can only be retired through the human-approval path.
• Use case: A bloated suite is slowing releases, so this Skill trims low-value coverage, preserves critical journeys, and documents every change to test membership.

Quick Start

Use the regression-suite-curator skill to audit this test suite, identify promotion and retirement candidates, enforce quarantine rules, and produce a curation decision list with evidence.
