At a glance

Diagnosing and fixing hanging worker executor or integration tests.

  • Works in 4 steps: Add a Timeout → Capture Full Output → Search for Root Cause → …
  • A test hangs indefinitely
  • SKILL.md covers Common Causes, Step 1: Add a Timeout, Step 2: Capture Full Output and Step 3: Search for Root Cause, plus 2 more sections
  • Calls rg and cargo

What it does

Debugging Hanging Tests is an agent skill from golemcloud/golem. Diagnosing and fixing hanging worker executor or integration tests. Use when a test hangs indefinitely, times out, or appears stuck during execution.

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Integration testing and Debugging. The repository describes itself as: Golem Cloud is the agent-native platform for building AI agents and distributed applications that never lose state, never duplicate work, and never require you to build…

When your agent uses it

  • A test hangs indefinitely
  • Appears stuck during execution

Example prompts

  • “/debugging-hanging-tests”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Add a Timeout
  2. Capture Full Output
  3. Search for Root Cause
  4. Fix the Root Cause

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2dea6b9. 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:

    • rg
    • cargo

    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

Debugging Hanging Tests loads about 879 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 451 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~879

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

Auto-check passed

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 451 words (~879 tokens).

“Worker executor and integration tests can hang indefinitely due to unimplemented!() panics in async tasks, deadlocks, missing shard assignments, or other async runtime issues. This skill provides a systematic workflow for diagnosing and resolving these hangs.”
