Testing skills in isolation means running them in separate Git worktrees, Docker containers, or VMs to detect environment-specific bugs and hidden dependencies before they reach production. This Skill automates that process, capturing baseline state, executing your skill, verifying cleanup, and generating reports.

Git worktree creates lightweight branch copies on your machine; Docker provides containerized sandboxes; VMs offer full system isolation. This Skill auto-selects the appropriate level based on detected risk, letting you test safely without contaminating your main environment.

Yes. This Skill performs pre-flight risk checks, automatically selects isolation mode, captures baseline state before execution, enforces cleanup afterward, and detects side effects. It validates that your skill leaves no unwanted artifacts.

Testing generates production-ready reports in JSON, JUnit XML, and Markdown formats, so results integrate with CI/CD pipelines, test runners, and documentation workflows.

No. This Skill supports three modes: Git worktree (lightweight, local), Docker (containerized), and VM (full isolation). It recommends the appropriate level automatically based on skill risk assessment.

Running skills in isolated environments reveals dependencies the skill depends on but wasn't explicitly declared. Baseline capture and side-effect detection expose files created, environment variables set, or external services called during execution.
