Fixes an agent calling a deprecated transactions endpoint that returns no history older than 90 days: move to the current endpoint, backfill the missing history from statements, and version-pin the API contract. Use when old history is silently absent. Not for accounts genuinely younger than 90 days.
Makes workflow rollbacks safe by versioning the full bundle of workflow, prompts, and tool contracts, and testing the rollback path in staging. Use when decisions break right after a rollback. Not for bugs in the current version.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent's changelog summary hallucinated breaking changes - the release notes it cited didn't exist - [agent summarized a changelog from a stale cached copy; the "breaking changes" it listed were from …

Keeps reviews alive through transaction-history API 500s with bounded retries, circuit breakers, and a defined degraded mode. Use when the agent's tool call throws on server errors. Not for 4xx client errors or bad queries.
Fixes agent repairs applied to the wrong target for analytics engineers supervising repair agents. Use when an agent fixed staging but production still fails. Not for genuine environment differences in the fix itself.
Fixes: agent pinned an old axe version: missed rules the ci gate caught Applies when your scan flags this exact rule. Not for manual-only issues the rule does not report.
How to recover when an agent's regex codemod matched inside string literals and corrupted user-facing copy: reverting, rewriting the transform on an AST, and testing the new version. Use when a regex rewrite damaged text it should not have touched. Not for regex rewrites that were correct but incomplete.

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…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent reproduced locally with a newer browser than CI - the bug was a rendering difference in the older version - [agent treated 2.0.0-rc.1 as newer than 2.0.0 - it auto-merged a release candidate to…

Verifies an agent's selector fix across every target browser before accepting it, so a Chromium-only fix cannot break Firefox or WebKit. Use when a healed locator works in one browser but fails in others. Not for single-browser test suites, where cross-browser verification has nothing to check against.
Reproduces merge-queue-only failures by replicating merge-queue conditions: rebased onto the target, with sibling changes and realistic load. Use when an agent cannot reproduce a failure locally because it only happens in the merge queue. Not for failures that reproduce on a plain branch run, which are ordinary bugs, …
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent's canary analysis passed but users still saw errors: how to check canary coverage - agent's fix passed locally but introduced a new race in CI - it assumed single-threaded execution

Restores e2e coverage for dependency bumps on critical paths. Use it when a bump skipped e2e and broke a user-facing flow in production. Key trigger: the broken flow touches code paths the dependency serves, and e2e was not in the PR checks. Not for: a bump with no user-facing surface, where unit tests suffice.
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…
