Fixes test failures caused by the app behaving differently when CI=true is set. Use when a test passes locally but fails on CI and the app changes behavior under CI. Covers auditing CI-env-dependent code paths, making tests env-aware, and documenting the CI=true contract. Not for genuine timing flakes.
Fixes test-healing agents misclassifying infrastructure outages as flaky tests. Use when a batch of tests failed together during a known infra incident. Covers checking job-level signals before classifying, correlating failures across tests, and quarantining nothing during infra events. Not for isolated single-test fl…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent quarantined a test that only failed because the agent itself left a stale docker container running - [agent verified the upgrade by running only the package's own test suite - 30 downstream tes…

Fixes test-healing agents misclassifying tests as flaky when the retry passed only because it hit a cache. Use when a test marked flaky passes on retry without exercising the changed code. Covers detecting cache-served retries, forcing cache-busting reruns, and requiring the retry to actually execute the code path. No…

Caps the time an agent may spend re-running a single flaky test with a retry budget (max attempts times per-attempt timeout) plus quarantine-on-exhaustion. Use when an agent grinds on one test instead of escalating. Not for human-led debugging sessions or suites that are uniformly slow.
Stops agents from reverting good fixes on a single flaky failure by requiring repeated runs and a two-signal revert policy. Use when an agent undoes its own fix after one red run. Not for fixes that fail consistently on every run.
Teaches an agent to poll CI status efficiently with backoff, a hard time budget, and queued-vs-running detection instead of busy-waiting. Use when an agent blocks on CI results or burns its run waiting. Not for CI jobs that are slow because the tests themselves are slow.
Fixes agent health checks that poll a stale preview URL after the deploy moved the route to a new domain. Use when health checks fail or check the wrong thing post-deploy. Not for DNS propagation delays or health check logic bugs.
Fixes an agent that waits forever on DNS after a route change that never actually applied. The skill makes the agent verify the change via the API first, then poll the zone's authoritative nameservers directly instead of public resolvers, with a bounded timeout and a recorded verdict.
