Dx Devops Test Suite Run

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Async execution via the Connect API after an explicit confirmation gate
• Then polls by runId at provider-specific intervals until it completes
• Hands results to failure analysis
• A user wants to run

Example prompts

• “/dx-devops-test-suite-run”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

1. 1Trigger execution
2. 2Poll until completion

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3c15867. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  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.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • sf

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Dx Devops Test Suite Run loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 245 tokens; SKILL.md has 550 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~245

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.5k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~4.8k

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.

Safety

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Runs DevOps Center test suites on a pipeline stage (Pre-Promote, Post-Promote, or Review event) end to end: triggers async execution via the Connect API after an explicit confirmation gate, then polls by runId at provider-specific intervals until it completes, fails, or times out, and hands results to failure analysis. Also retriggers a quality gate after fixes, but only once coverage meets the threshold. Use this skill when a user wants to run, kick off, or launch test suites on a stage, re-run a quality gate, or watch an in-progress run to completion. TRIGGER when: the user wants to run/launch suites on a stage, execute tests before or after promotion, re-run a quality gate after fixing failures, unblock a blocked promotion after adding tests, or poll/watch an in-progress run. DO NOT TRIGGER when: running sf apex run test directly (use platform-apex-test-run), or configuring a NEW gate or threshold (use dx-devops-test-pipeline-configure).
