Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent loop detected: re-running the same failing test without code changes - agent's fix broke 5 other tests - it changed a shared fixture without understanding the blast radius
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: agent applied the same fix to every failing test without diagnosing: r

Teaches agents to read Airflow XCom correctly: task state first, XCom as evidence, and the None-versus-missing distinction. Use when an agent reports failure based on an XCom read. Not for genuinely failed tasks.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent opened the upgrade PR against main but the package's tests only ran under the agent's branch config - CI never... - [agent marked the victim test as flaky instead of the polluter test that leak…

Fixes misdiagnosed resource leaks where the agent fixed the wrong resource. Use when a 'leak fix' does not stop the leak. Covers measuring the actual leaking resource (fd counts), finding the unclosed handle, and verifying the fix. Not for genuine connection leaks.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent's fix passed tests locally but broke the production dag order: deploy error - [playwright test kept timing out in CI but passed locally - the agent couldn't reproduce because it didn't know CI.…

Teaches agents to parse dbt output reliably: exit codes over text matching, and the summary lines that actually signal failure. Use when an agent reports success on a failed dbt run. Not for dbt runs that genuinely succeed.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent didn't know CI sets CI=true - the app disables animations in CI and the test's timing assumptions broke - [playwright test kept timing out in CI but passed locally - the agent couldn't reproduc…

Fixes misattributed failures when one test leaks a timer that fires during another test. Use when test B fails but the fault originates in test A. Covers finding the leaked timer, fixing cleanup in the polluter, and adding leak detection. Not for genuine test B bugs.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent blamed the wrong test because the error surfaced in the consumer, not the polluter two tests earlier - [agent classified a timeout as flaky even though the test's runtime tripled in every failu…

Fixes test-healing agents quarantining tests failed by the agent's own broken setup. Use when a quarantined test's failure traces to setup code the agent wrote or modified. Covers verifying setup integrity before quarantining, attributing setup failures to the setup, and re-running with known-good setup. Not for tests…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent quarantined tests that failed only because its own prior run left the database dirty - [agent quarantined a test that only failed because the agent itself left a stale docker container running]…

Fixes test-healing agents editing production code to satisfy a test when the test was actually correct. Use when a heal changed non-test code and the change looks suspicious. Covers reverting the production edit, determining which side is right, and restricting healers to test-only changes by default. Not for cases wh…
