Install this skill
$ npx skills add dhanji4U/skills --skill run-smoke-tests --global

Then type /run-smoke-tests in your coding agent.

Trigger

Need end-to-end smoke verification before or after changes.

Workflow

  1. Build prerequisites for the target app.
  2. Run the relevant smoke suite or a focused test file.
  3. If failing, inspect traces/logs and isolate the root cause.
  4. Apply a minimal fix and rerun until stable.

Example Commands

# Run full smoke suite
npm run smoketest

# Run a specific smoke test file
npm run smoketest -- path/to/test.spec.ts

# Faster iteration when build artifacts are ready
npm run smoketest-no-compile -- path/to/test.spec.ts

Guardrails

  • Prefer deterministic waits and assertions over brittle timeouts.
  • Re-run passing fixes to reduce flaky false positives.
  • Quarantine tests only when explicitly requested and documented.

Output

  • Test results summary
  • Root cause and fix
  • Remaining flake risk (if any)
