SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

When you encounter a failing test, this skill helps you to efficiently narrow down the problem by providing focused verification paths.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Focused Triage: Directly address failures in tests, integrations, or verification steps.
  • Evidence Preservation: Preserve failing command and output for analysis.
  • Diagnostics: Classify failure type and recommend relevant actions.
  • Narrow Verification: Provide the smallest set of tests or code for verification.
  • Safety-First: Only allows writes with user approval to prevent unintended modifications.

Quick Start

To initiate triage for a failed test, use the triage skill with the test file as input.

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage failing test cases to focus debugging efforts?

Test failure triage identifies failing test cases and provides narrow verification paths to focus debugging. It classifies failure types and preserves failing command outputs to streamline your analysis and reduce unnecessary testing.

What is the best way to preserve evidence from a failing test for analysis?

Evidence preservation during test debugging captures the failing command and its output automatically. This captured evidence is then classified by failure type to recommend relevant actions for resolving the issue.

How do I narrow down verification to the smallest set of tests after a failure?

Narrow verification provides the smallest set of tests or code needed to verify a fix after a test failure. This prevents running unnecessary tests and speeds up the debugging cycle significantly.

Do I need additional software dependencies to run automated test triage?

No additional software dependencies are required for automated test failure triage. It is suitable for automated testing frameworks and operates independently within your existing environment.

Can I use this test failure triage skill to automatically fix code?

The test failure triage skill is safety-first and only allows writes with explicit user approval to prevent unintended modifications. It focuses on diagnostics and classification rather than autonomous code correction.
