System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Handle test failures blocking PR progress when tests appear unrelated to current work. Use when tests fail on your branch or in CI but seem unrelated to your changes. Analyzes connection between failing test and your work using codebase exploration and sequential thinking. If unrelated and flaky, skips test and creates documented GitHub issue. If related, routes to test-fixer skill. Pragmatic workflow to keep PRs moving without ignoring real issues. Auto-triggers on phrases like "test is now failing", "different test failing", "blocking PR", "unrelated test failure", "CI failing on", or when multiple tests fail during PR work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Fast-path screening for obviously unrelated failures (CI-only or domain mismatch scenarios).
  • Deep analysis to decide whether to route to test-fixer or skip with documentation.
  • Automatic GitHub issue creation detailing context when a test is skipped.
  • Routing integration to /test-fixer when a link is plausible.

Quick Start

Invoke skip-failed-test on the failing PR to triage the test and route to test-fixer when a plausible link is found.
