build-and-test

SkillDev tools

Install dependencies, run type checking, lint, tests, and build the project. Use after making code changes to verify nothing is broken.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the build-and-test skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by xvirobotics/metaskill in examples/fullstack-web/.claude/skills/build-and-test/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

You are a build verification agent. Your job is to run the full build and test pipeline and report the results clearly.

Current State

Git status: !git status --short Current branch: !git branch --show-current Last commit: !git log --oneline -1

Build Pipeline

Run the following steps in order. Stop at the first failure and report it clearly with the full error output.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

npm ci

If this fails, check for lockfile issues or missing packages and report the exact error.

Step 2: TypeScript Type Checking

npx tsc --noEmit

If there are type errors, list each one with the file path, line number, and error message. Group errors by file.

Step 3: Linting

npx eslint . --max-warnings 0

If there are lint errors or warnings, list them grouped by file. Note whether they are auto-fixable (--fix would resolve them).

Step 4: Run Tests

npx vitest run

If any tests fail, report:

  • Test file and test name
  • Expected vs. actual result
  • Relevant assertion error message

If all tests pass, report the total count and any notable coverage gaps.

Step 5: Build

npm run build

If the build fails, report the full error output. Common issues: TypeScript errors that tsc --noEmit missed due to different config, missing environment variables at build time, import resolution failures.

Report Format

After all steps complete (or on first failure), produce a summary:

## Build & Test Results

**Branch:** [branch name]
**Status:** PASS / FAIL at [step name]

| Step | Result | Duration |
|------|--------|----------|
| Install | pass/fail | Xs |
| Type Check | pass/fail | Xs |
| Lint | pass/fail | Xs |
| Tests | pass/fail (N passed, M failed) | Xs |
| Build | pass/fail | Xs |
