test-fixing

What it does

This skill automatically addresses failing unit tests by intelligently grouping errors and suggesting fixes. It identifies patterns in test failures, allowing for efficient resolution of multiple issues at once. The skill is designed to streamline the debugging process when a test suite fails, reducing manual effort required to identify and correct problems.

When to use it

• When you run a test suite and encounter failing tests.
• If a user explicitly requests assistance in fixing failing tests.
• After making code changes that introduce new test failures.
• To quickly resolve a series of related errors identified during testing.

Key capabilities

• Error grouping based on patterns.
• Automated suggestion of fixes for failing tests.
• Systematic approach to resolving multiple test failures simultaneously.
• Handles requests to fix failing tests.

Example prompts

• "The tests are failing, can you help me fix them?"
• "I ran the test suite and got a bunch of errors; what's wrong?"
• "Fix these failing unit tests."

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes that the codebase has a well-defined test suite. It is most effective when failures are due to logical or implementation errors, rather than environmental issues (e.g., database connection problems).
