Design and prioritize a regression test suite so changes don't break what worked.

  • Asked to plan regression testing

What it does

Regression Test Plan is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Design and prioritize a regression test suite so changes don't break what worked. Use when asked to plan regression testing, build a regression suite, decide what to re-test after a change, or trim a bloated regression pack. Produces a risk-based regression plan — what to re-test and why, prioritised tiers (smoke → full), automation candidates, and a run strategy per release — so coverage matches risk and the suite stays fast.

Its SKILL.md is about 960 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 QA and bug reports. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to plan regression testing
  • Build a regression suite
  • Decide what to re-test after a change
  • Trim a bloated regression pack

Example prompts

  • “/regression-test-plan”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Regression Test Plan loads about 960 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 466 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~113
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~960

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.

Design and prioritize a regression test suite so changes don't break what worked. Use when asked to plan regression testing, build a regression suite, decide what to re-test after a change, or trim a bloated regression pack. Produces a risk-based regression plan — what to re-test and why, prioritised tiers (smoke → full), automation candidates, and a run strategy per release — so coverage matches risk and the suite stays fast.

Regression Test Plan Skill

Regression testing protects what already works — but re-running everything every time is slow and wasteful, and testing too little ships breakage. The answer is risk-based: re-test what changed, what it touches, and what hurts most if it breaks. This skill builds that prioritised plan and a run strategy, so coverage tracks risk and the suite doesn't balloon.

Working from a brief

Given "we're shipping a checkout change, what should we regression-test?", produce the plan anyway — infer the impacted areas and a sensible prioritisation, labelling assumptions. Tie scope to change-impact and risk. Never hand back a question instead of a plan.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided (else infer and label):

  • The change — what's being released/modified, and what it touches (and integrates with).
  • Critical paths — the flows that must never break (revenue, auth, data integrity).
  • Existing coverage — current regression cases/automation, if any, and how long a full run takes.
  • Constraints — time/resources per release, and manual vs. automated capacity.

Output Format

Regression Plan: [release/change]

1. Impact analysis — what changed, the areas directly and indirectly affected, and the high-risk zones (shared components, recent bugs, complex logic).

2. Prioritised scope — what to re-test, in tiers:

TierWhen to runScopeWhy
Smoke / sanityevery buildcritical paths only (login, checkout, save)fast fail
Targetedthis changethe changed area + its direct dependencieschange-impact
Full regressionmajor release / risky changebroad core coveragesafety net

3. What to skip (and the risk) — explicitly de-scope low-risk, unchanged areas, and name the residual risk.

4. Automation candidates — which cases are stable, high-value, and repetitive enough to automate first (and which to keep manual).

5. Run strategy — when each tier runs (per-commit / per-release), order (critical first), and the entry/exit criteria for sign-off.

Quality Checks

  • Scope is driven by change-impact and risk, not "run everything" or "run the same list every time"
  • Critical paths are always covered (a fast smoke tier)
  • De-scoped areas are explicit, with the residual risk named
  • Automation candidates are prioritised by stability and value
  • A run strategy ties each tier to when it runs and the sign-off criteria
  • The suite stays proportionate to the time/risk — not bloated

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not "re-run everything" by default — it's slow and trains teams to skip it
  • Do not test only the changed file — cover its dependencies and shared components
  • Do not silently drop coverage — when you de-scope, state the risk
  • Do not automate flaky or rarely-run cases first — start with stable, high-value ones
  • Do not let the suite grow unbounded — prune and tier it as the product changes

Based On

Risk-based regression practice — change-impact analysis, tiered smoke/targeted/full suites, automation prioritisation, and release-fit run strategy.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Plan regression testing."
  • "Build a regression suite."
  • "Decide what to re-test after a change."
  • "Trim a bloated regression pack."
