Failure taxonomy and allowed/forbidden repairs for a failing E2E test.

  • A Playwright/Maestro/Detox/XCUITest/Espresso/Appium test fails and you must decide whether to repair the test
  • SKILL.md covers Priority: P0 (CRITICAL), Failure Classes, Allowed Repairs and Forbidden Repairs, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Route to a real bug

What it does

Quality Engineering Test Healing is an agent skill from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. Failure taxonomy and allowed/forbidden repairs for a failing E2E test. Use when a Playwright/Maestro/Detox/XCUITest/Espresso/Appium test fails and you must decide whether to repair the test or route to a real bug.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/failure-taxonomy.md` and `references/forbidden-repairs.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering Mobile testing and debugging. It works with Playwright. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Agent Skills Standard and Best Practice for Programming Languages, Frameworks that help our AI Agent follow best practies on frameworks and programming laguages. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A Playwright/Maestro/Detox/XCUITest/Espresso/Appium test fails and you must decide whether to repair the test
  • Route to a real bug

Example prompts

  • “/quality-engineering-test-healing”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b529c2d. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Quality Engineering Test Healing loads about 655 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 224 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~655
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

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.

Quality Engineering: Test Healing

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Failure Classes

SELECTOR_DRIFT (id/locator changed) · TIMING_SYNC (race/wait, no state change) · DATA_ENV (fixture/seed/env stale) · INFRA (network/runner/flake) · REAL_REGRESSION (product behavior actually changed).

Classify from evidence: trace/screenshot/DOM diff supports a drift/timing/data explanation, or the product diff shows an intentional behavior change (REAL_REGRESSION).

Allowed Repairs

Move the locator up the selector ladder (e.g., getByRole if the ID changed); replace a sleep with an explicit state wait; fix a stale fixture/seed; retry only for INFRA.

Forbidden Repairs

Never weaken an assertion. Never add test.skip/fixme; a test that must stop gating goes to quarantine per quality-engineering-flaky-triage with a ticket + expiry, and keeps running. Never widen a matcher. Never inflate a timeout by more than 2x. Never blind --update-snapshots. Never catch-and-continue. Never touch production code — that is REAL_REGRESSION, not a heal.

Verdicts

HEALED (repair verified by 3 consecutive green reruns, ASSERTION_DELTA: none) · REAL_BUG_DO_NOT_HEAL (route to dev-fix) · QUARANTINE_CANDIDATE (flaky, route to flaky-triage) · BLOCKED (no evidence artifact, or no stable locator target: route to specialist-testid-inserter).

Red Flags

"the assertion was too strict anyway" · "the product changed so update the expected value" · "just add retries so it goes green" — do not heal with these rationalizations. All three are REAL_BUG_DO_NOT_HEAL or QUARANTINE_CANDIDATE in disguise, never HEALED.
