Remove trivial tests before they harden
An agent skill for replacing shallow AI-written coverage with tests that can catch real regressions.
Write tests that can actually fail
Behavior checks, negative cases, regression coverage, and cleanup that keeps the next run honest.
UI verification with real browser evidence
Run user and guest flows, include hard refreshes, and keep screenshots as proof of what changed.
Root-cause investigation before edits
Find the exact source with file:line, name the systemic cause, and avoid masking symptoms with a patch.
PHP to Python with golden-file parity
Move behavior across languages with fixture proof, uv tooling, and boring first-party libraries where they fit.
Parallel agents with clean write scopes
Plan first, split the work into disjoint surfaces, fan out, then reconcile and verify the whole result.
Observability that makes failures inspectable
Traceable logs, level control, test ids where they help, and no silent failure paths.
Prove parity during a refactor
Capture reference behavior, separate public from internal fields, and make the new path match what matters.
Docs and diagrams before the work is done
Update the README, comments, Mermaid flows, and AGENTS.md decisions while the context is still fresh.
DaisyUI and Tailwind without visual drift
Use the real components, match the reference theme, and verify every page in light and dark.
Compress a worklog without losing signal
Turn messy session notes into a dense developer journal while preserving decisions, commands, and evidence.
Teach agents to read EXPLAIN
Give it the plan, get back the slow node, estimate drift, and the index worth testing.
Gate production migrations before review
Block locking DDL, unsafe deploy order, and unbatched backfills before a human has to catch them.
