What it does

Maintainer Testing Release is an agent skill from VectorSpaceLab/AREX-Skill. Use this quip-miner sub-skill for maintainer pytest selection, CI invariants, no-inline-sampling lint, multiprocessing/hang debugging, versioning, Docker/PyInstaller release checks, and safe benchmark policy.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 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/release-and-packaging.md`, `references/testing-and-ci.md` and `references/troubleshooting.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Unit testing, Containers and Linting and formatting. It works with Docker and pytest. The repository describes itself as: A Skill Library for Automated Machine Learning. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Unit testing
  • Tasks that involve Containers
  • Tasks that involve Linting and formatting

Example prompts

  • “/maintainer-testing-release”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ac3fe1a. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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

Maintainer Testing Release loads about 697 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 230 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~697
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.5k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Maintainer Testing and Release

Use this sub-skill when changing quip-miner source, selecting targeted tests, preserving architecture invariants, debugging hung processes, or preparing release/build validation.

Route By Task

  • Targeted tests and CI: Read references/testing-and-ci.md for safe pytest selections by workflow, no-inline-sampling guard, Docker/build CI notes, and test safety classification.
  • Release and packaging: Read references/release-and-packaging.md for versioning, PyInstaller build/selftest, Docker images, and release checks.
  • Failures and hangs: Read references/troubleshooting.md for faulthandler/SIGABRT, multiprocessing teardown, no-threads rule, optional backend skips, and benchmark safety.
  • No-inline-sampling lint: Run scripts/lint_no_inline_sampling.py --repo-root <checkout> when changing shared/, CPU/, GPU/, QPU/, or substrate/ sampling paths.

Common Commands

bash
python -m pytest tests/test_miner_config.py -q
python -m pytest tests/test_quip_cli.py -q
python -m pytest tests/test_hybrid_signer.py tests/test_system_info.py -q
python -m pytest tests/test_telemetry_process.py -q
python -m pytest tests/test_gpu_scheduler.py -q
python scripts/lint_no_inline_sampling.py --repo-root <checkout>
quip-miner selftest

Use the narrowest relevant tests first. Do not run live QPU benchmarks, Docker compose validator integration, or host-mutating deployment scripts unless the operator explicitly asks.

Key Rules

  • New background work in this repo should use multiprocessing (spawn) or asyncio, not new threading.Thread workers.
  • Threads from third-party libraries or existing stdlib internals can exist, but document exceptions inline when relevant.
  • The unified streaming stack is mandatory. Reintroduced inline sampling symbols are a regression.
  • Enable faulthandler before long or potentially wedged Python runs; use SIGABRT for traceback dump on hard hangs.
  • For CUDA changes, run actual CUDA tests only when compatible hardware/dependencies exist. Record optional backend skips separately from passes.

Boundaries

  • Route operator config/deployment tasks to ../config-supervisor-deployment/SKILL.md.
  • Route live mining behavior to ../mining-backends/SKILL.md.
  • Route topology/proof data tools to ../topology-proof-validation/SKILL.md.
  • Route telemetry runtime diagnosis to ../telemetry-attempt-archive/SKILL.md.

What does Maintainer Testing Release need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Maintainer Testing Release needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python). Our summary lists: Python 3; Docker.

Does Maintainer Testing Release access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Maintainer Testing Release safe to install?

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.
