test-fixing
test-fixing identifies all failing tests, groups them by error type and root cause, then fixes them in priority order. It handles infrastructure issues first (imports, dependencies), then API changes, then logic bugs. After each fix group passes, it moves to the next until the full suite succeeds.

Frequently asked questions
AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
How does test-fixing fix failing tests systematically?
test-fixing identifies all failing tests, groups them by error type and root cause, then fixes them in priority order. It handles infrastructure issues first (imports, dependencies), then API changes, then logic bugs. After each fix group passes, it moves to the next until the full suite succeeds.
What should I do when tests are failing after refactor?
test-fixing repairs broken test suites after code refactoring or API changes by analyzing which tests broke and why. It prioritizes failures by module and error category, then applies targeted fixes to restore the suite systematically rather than attempting random corrections.
How can test-fixing identify and fix test failures?
test-fixing identifies and prioritizes test failures by error type and affected modules, grouping similar errors together. This grouping reveals root causes—whether infrastructure, API, or logic issues—so fixes address the underlying problem rather than symptoms, preventing cascading failures.
Can test-fixing resolve CI/CD pipeline failures from broken tests?
Yes. test-fixing resolves CI/CD pipeline failures caused by test suite breakage by systematically repairing the underlying test failures. Once grouped errors are fixed in priority order and focused test runs verify each fix, the pipeline can resume.
How does test-fixing prevent regressions after fixing tests?
test-fixing verifies test fixes and prevents regressions by running focused test suites after each fix group passes. This ensures each correction actually resolves its error category before moving to the next, catching any new breakage early.

Test Fixing
Systematically identify and fix all failing tests using smart grouping strategies.
When to Use
- Explicitly asks to fix tests ("fix these tests", "make tests pass")
- Reports test failures ("tests are failing", "test suite is broken")
- Completes implementation and wants tests passing
- Mentions CI/CD failures due to tests
Systematic Approach
1. Initial Test Run
Run make test to identify all failing tests.
Analyze output for: - Total number of failures - Error types and patterns - Affected modules/files
2. Smart Error Grouping
Group similar failures by: - Error type: ImportError, AttributeError, AssertionError, etc. - Module/file: Same file causing multiple test failures - Root cause: Missing dependencies, API changes, refactoring impacts
Prioritize groups by: - Number of affected tests (highest impact first) - Dependency order (fix infrastructure before functionality)

Feature Planning transforms vague feature requests into structured implementation roadmaps. It systematically clarifies requirements, explores your codebase for patterns, designs components, and generates discrete, sequenced tasks with file paths and dependencies. Integrates with plan-implementer to execute each task.
This skill scans your conversation history to surface usage trends, identify repetitive tasks ripe for automation, and pinpoint workflow inefficiencies. It categorizes requests by type, tracks project activity, detects time-of-day patterns, and flags vague or complex requests that slow you down. Analysis runs locally on your machine for privacy, delivering prioritized recommendations you can act on immediately.
Code Refactor handles systematic refactoring operations like renaming identifiers, replacing deprecated patterns, and updating method calls across your codebase. It intelligently switches to execution mode for larger jobs (10+ files), delivering significant token savings while maintaining accuracy through a safe find-analyze-execute-verify workflow.
Code Auditor performs a systematic examination of your entire codebase, evaluating architecture decisions, code quality patterns, security posture, performance characteristics, test coverage, and maintainability factors. It delivers prioritized findings with specific file references and actionable recommendations, supporting focused audits on security, performance, or testing alone.
Code Transfer handles moving code blocks between files with exact line-number control. Choose between basic mode for small operations or execution mode for batch transfers across many files. Perfect for reorganizing functions, extracting classes, or inserting code at specific locations.
Project Bootstrapper configures new or existing projects with industry-standard practices including directory structure, Git workflows, documentation, testing frameworks, code quality tools, and CI/CD pipelines.
