Test Loop Skill

[!IMPORTANT] Plan, generate, and heal an executable E2E test suite from approved acceptance criteria (web and mobile).

Optional args: slug=, ticket=<id/url>, mode=interactive|autonomous|channel, channel=, auto_continue=true|false, profile=business|hybrid|technical.

Instructions

When the user asks to perform this workflow, execute the following steps:

Test Loop Workflow

Goal: Turn approved ACs into an executable, traced E2E suite, and classify any failure as a repair or a real bug instead of leaving it to manual triage.

Steps

1. Load scope:
   • slug, operator_profile (carried, not re-inferred), AC-*, SRS lanes, build/app target, matched testing skills for the target stack.
2. Plan:
   • Run specialist-test-planner to produce test_plan_path and selector_gaps (the specialist's PLAN: becomes this workflow's test_plan_path; SELECTOR_GAPS: becomes selector_gaps).
   • BLOCKED (no stable AC-* trace) if no stable AC-* trace exists; route to plan-feature/design-solution.
3. Prepare selectors (Phase P1, not yet implemented):
   • Run specialist-testid-inserter on selector_gaps; stop for approval when production files change in interactive mode.
4. Generate (Phase P1, not yet implemented):
   • One scenario per specialist-integration-test-generator call, seed-first, using the MCP/tool matching the scenario's lane.
5. Run and heal (Phase P3, not yet implemented):
   • Run once; per failure, run specialist-test-healer. HEALED requires 3 green reruns. REAL_BUG_DO_NOT_HEAL routes to dev-fix. QUARANTINE_CANDIDATE routes to quality-engineering-flaky-triage with a ticket.
6. Handoff:
   • Route to verify-work with the generated suite and any unresolved real_bugs[].

Runtime Contract

• Use after implement-feature reaches GREEN, or whenever ACs have E2E/mobile lanes without executable coverage.
• Required inputs: slug, stable AC-* trace, a runnable build/app target.
• Return BLOCKED (no build target or AC trace) only when the build target cannot be established or AC-* is missing.

Handoff Payload

• slug, operator_profile, test_plan_path, generated_tests[], heal_verdicts[], flake_quarantine[], selector_gaps_remaining[], real_bugs[], outcome report, next workflow.

Blocking Questions

• Ask max 3 at a time with a recommended default and 2-3 options.
