System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill tackles the challenge of debugging complex software by automatically reducing large, failing test cases to their absolute minimum, ensuring the failure is still reproducible.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Test Reduction: Systematically removes unnecessary lines, steps, or inputs from failing tests.
  • Preserves Failure: Guarantees that the reduced test still triggers the original bug.
  • Supports Multiple Languages: Works with Python, JavaScript, Java, and C/C++ tests.
  • Use Case: You have a 500-line integration test that fails intermittently. This Skill can reduce it to a 5-line snippet that reliably reproduces the bug, making debugging significantly faster.

Quick Start

Use the test-case-reducer skill to reduce the failing test file 'test_buggy.py' using the command 'python test_buggy.py' and expecting a 'ZeroDivisionError'.
