Test Deep — Context-Aware Test Orchestration

Supplementary Agent

When test failures occur, dispatch background triage:

Agent({ description: "Analyze test failure root cause and suggest fixes", subagent_type: "verify-app", prompt: `Analyze the following test failure: <failure output> Identify root cause and suggest minimal fix.` })

Trigger

• Keywords: context-aware testing, smart test, test orchestration, test triage, test failure analysis, test deep, run relevant tests

When NOT to Use

| Scenario | Alternative | |----------|------------| | Writing new tests | `/post-dev-test` | | Reviewing test coverage | `/codex-test-review` | | Generating unit tests | `/codex-test-gen` | | Full manual test run | `/verify` | | Code review | `/codex-review-fast` |

Prohibited Actions

❌ git add | git commit | git push — per @rules/git-workflow.md

This skill runs tests and may apply safe fixers, but does **not** commit. To commit, the user must invoke `/smart-commit --execute` separately.

Phase 0: Test Selection

Map code changes to test targets. See `references/test-selection.md` for full strategy.

**Strategy priority**:

| Priority | Method | When | |----------|--------|------| | 1 | Git diff filename mapping | Default — map changed files to test files via Glob | | 2 | Framework native | Jest `--changedSince`, Vitest `--changed` | | 3 | Full suite fallback | Config change, no mapping, `--all` flag |

**Steps**: 1. Collect changed files: union of unstaged + staged + untracked (`--branch` uses merge-base) 2. Apply filename mapping rules to generate candidate test paths 3. Glob-confirm each candidate exists 4. Classify confirmed tests by layer (unit / integration / e2e)

**Full suite escalation triggers**: config file changed, CI/CD file changed, package dependency changed, no test files mapped, `--all` flag.

Phase 1: Progressive Ladder

Execute tests layer-by-layer with fail-fast.

| Layer | Directory Pattern | Timeout | Fail Behavior | |-------|------------------|---------|---------------| | Unit | `test/unit/**`, `test/scripts/lib/**`, unclassified | 60s | Fail-fast → triage | | Integration | `test/integration/**` | 300s | Fail-fast → triage | | E2E | `test/e2e/**` | 600s | Enter triage |

**Fail-fast rule**: Unit fail → skip integration + e2e. Integration fail → skip e2e.

**Override**: `--no-fail-fast` disables this behavior (run all layers regardless).

**Layer detection**: Classify test files by directory prefix. Files not matching any integration/e2e pattern → treat as unit.

**Execution**: Run tests using project's configured test command (from `package.json` scripts or `CLAUDE.md`). Capture stdout/stderr and exit code.

Phase 2: Failure Triage Pipeline

When failures occur, analyze and classify. See `references/triage-pipeline.md` for full spec.

Step 1: Output Parser

Extract structured tags from test output (no classification — just structure):

| Tag | Description | |-----|-------------| | `exit_code` | Process exit code | | `error_signatures[]` | Regex-matched error patterns | | `failing_tests[]` | Failed test names | | `failing_files[]` | Failed test file paths | | `env_hints[]` | Environment clues (testnet, localhost, etc.) | | `stack_depth` | Stack trace line count |

Step 2: LLM Root Cause Analysis

Feed parser tags + compressed output to LLM for classification:

| Classification | Definition | Typical Action | |---------------|------------|----------------| | `code_bug` | Logic error in code | Fix code | | `infra` | Infrastructure issue (port, dependency) | Restart / reinstall | | `environment` | External precondition unmet | Fixer catalog action | | `flaky` | Non-deterministic failure | Retry + quarantine tag |

**Mandatory secret redaction** before LLM analysis — per `@rules/logging.md`:

• API keys, private keys, tokens, passwords, mnemonics, URLs with credentials
• See `references/triage-pipeline.md` for redaction patterns

Step 3: Safety-Gated Action

Route `suggested_fixer` through safety gate:

| Tier | Auto-run? | Confirmation | Examples | |------|-----------|-------------|---------| | `safe` | Yes | None | retry, clear_cache | | `side-effect` | No | AskUserQuestion | reinstall_deps, restart_server | | `destructive` | Blocked | Manual only | Reset state, drop tables |

**Default-deny**: Unknown fixer → `side-effect` tier (require confirmation).

Phase 3: Fixer Execution

Lookup fixer from catalog, check tier, execute or prompt. See `references/fixer-catalog.md` for full catalog.

**Core fixers** (plugin-shipped):

| Fixer | Tier | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `retry` | safe | Re-run failing tests | | `clear_cache` | safe | Clear build/tes
