Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent's mock drifted from the real API: how to detect stale mocks - agent failed to detect the duplicate: cached the stale company list

Stops an agent's green-local/red-CI loop by enforcing environment parity before any healing claim. It pins the base image, runtime version, env vars, and seeds, and requires the agent to verify inside the same container CI uses. Use when an agent insists tests pass locally while CI keeps failing. Not for failures that…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - the agent fixed the symptom in CI config but the test still fails on developers' machines - agent's fix passed tests locally but broke the production dag order: deploy error

Problem outcome: unknown
Teaches agents to read Fivetran sync schedules correctly: schedule versus actual, paused connectors, and what counts as failed. Use when an agent cries failure on a healthy sync cadence. Not for genuinely failed syncs.
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…

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…

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 unreproducible rendering bugs caused by browser version mismatch between the agent's sandbox and CI. Use when a visual or DOM test fails on CI but passes for the agent and browser versions differ. Covers matching the exact CI browser version, pinning browser versions in CI config, and treating version-specific r…

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.

Detects why Playwright test.describe.skip (or test.skip) behaves differently in CI than locally and makes skips deterministic. Use when tests skip on a developer machine but run in CI, or vice versa. Not for tests that fail instead of skipping, or for grep filters excluding tests.
Fixes unreproducible CI failures caused by architecture mismatch between the agent's x86 sandbox and arm64 CI runners. Use when a test fails on CI but passes in the agent's sandbox and the platforms differ. Covers matching the target architecture (emulation or native runners), and treating arch-specific failures as re…
