bisect-aware-instrumentationInstrument code to support efficient git bisect by producing deterministic pass/fail signals and concise runtime summaries for each tested commit.
Bisect Aware Instrumentation is an agent skill from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. Instrument code to support efficient git bisect by producing deterministic pass/fail signals and concise runtime summaries for each tested commit. Use when debugging regressions with git bisect, automating bisect workflows, creating bisect test scripts, handling flaky tests during bisection, or needing clear exit codes and logging for automated bisect runs. Helps identify the exact commit that introduced a bug through automated testing.
Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/exit_codes.md`, `references/git_bisect_guide.md` and `scripts/bisect_template.sh`).
It sits in Testing & QA, covering Failing and flaky tests and Git workflow. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of 180+ useful Claude Skills for Software Engineering and resources for customizing AI for SE workflows. The licence is Apache-2.0.
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4f38503. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Shell and Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitnpmmakeFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Bisect Aware Instrumentation loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 363 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

This skill also uses 4 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.Instrument code to support efficient git bisect operations by producing deterministic pass/fail signals and concise runtime summaries. This skill helps create robust test scripts that work reliably with git bisect run, handling edge cases like flaky tests, build failures, and non-deterministic behavior.
Before instrumenting, clarify:
Generate a test script that returns proper exit codes for git bisect:
Exit Code Convention:
0: Good commit (test passes)1-124, 126-127: Bad commit (test fails)125: Skip commit (cannot test - build failure, missing dependencies)Template:
#!/bin/bash
# bisect_test.sh - Test script for git bisect run
set -e # Exit on error
# Build/setup phase
if ! make build 2>/dev/null; then
echo "SKIP: Build failed"
exit 125
fi
# Run test with timeout
timeout 30s ./run_test || TEST_RESULT=$?
# Interpret results
if [ $TEST_RESULT -eq 0 ]; then
echo "GOOD: Test passed"
exit 0
elif [ $TEST_RESULT -eq 124 ]; then
echo "SKIP: Test timeout"
exit 125
else
echo "BAD: Test failed with code $TEST_RESULT"
exit 1
fiHandle non-deterministic behavior:
Retry Logic for Flaky Tests:
# Run test multiple times to confirm
PASS_COUNT=0
for i in {1..3}; do
if ./run_test; then
((PASS_COUNT++))
fi
done
if [ $PASS_COUNT -eq 3 ]; then
echo "GOOD: All 3 runs passed"
exit 0
elif [ $PASS_COUNT -eq 0 ]; then
echo "BAD: All 3 runs failed"
exit 1
else
echo "SKIP: Flaky test ($PASS_COUNT/3 passed)"
exit 125
fiEnvironment Isolation:
# Clean state before each test
rm -rf /tmp/test_cache
export RANDOM_SEED=42
export TZ=UTCGenerate concise output for each commit:
#!/bin/bash
COMMIT=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)
LOG_FILE="bisect_log_${COMMIT}.txt"
echo "Testing commit: $COMMIT" | tee $LOG_FILE
echo "Timestamp: $(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)" | tee -a $LOG_FILE
# Run test and capture output
if ./run_test > test_output.txt 2>&1; then
echo "RESULT: GOOD" | tee -a $LOG_FILE
exit 0
else
echo "RESULT: BAD" | tee -a $LOG_FILE
echo "Error output:" | tee -a $LOG_FILE
tail -20 test_output.txt | tee -a $LOG_FILE
exit 1
fiExecute the bisect workflow:
# Start bisect
git bisect start
# Mark known good and bad commits
git bisect bad HEAD

Instrument code to support efficient git bisect by producing deterministic pass/fail signals and concise runtime summaries for each tested commit. Bisect Aware Instrumentation is an agent skill from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. Instrument code to support efficient git bisect by producing deterministic pass/fail signals and concise runtime summaries for each tested commit.
Bisect Aware Instrumentation fits situations like: debugging regressions with git bisect; automating bisect workflows; creating bisect test scripts; handling flaky tests during bisection.
Run `npx skills add ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE --skill bisect-aware-instrumentation -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/bisect-aware-instrumentation in ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE) into .claude/skills/bisect-aware-instrumentation in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE --skill bisect-aware-instrumentation -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/bisect-aware-instrumentation in ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE) into .agents/skills/bisect-aware-instrumentation in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE --skill bisect-aware-instrumentation -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/bisect-aware-instrumentation, .gemini/skills/bisect-aware-instrumentation, .github/skills/bisect-aware-instrumentation and .opencode/skills/bisect-aware-instrumentation in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Bisect Aware Instrumentation needs a shell and Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (git, npm and make). Our summary lists: Python 3; Node.js; A Bash shell.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git and npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Bisect Aware Instrumentation is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 4.3k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Bisect Aware Instrumentation: Make Git Escrow (internet-court/internet-court-skill, 6.5k stars), TiDB Test Diff Triage (pingcap/tidb, 41k stars), Git Upstream Sync (wado-lang/wado, 117 stars) and Skillhone (Tencent/SkillHone, 168 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
