Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/openai/plugins --skill test-triage- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads test-triage automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Test Triage
Quick Start
Use this skill to run the smallest meaningful test scope first, classify failures precisely, and avoid treating every test failure like a product bug.
Workflow
-
Detect the test harness.
- Use
xcodebuild testfor Xcode-based projects. - Use
swift testfor SwiftPM packages.
- Use
-
Narrow the scope.
- If the user gave a target, product, or test filter, use it.
- If not, prefer the smallest likely failing target before a full suite.
-
Classify the result.
- Build failure
- Assertion failure
- Crash or signal
- Async timing or flake
- Environment or fixture setup issue
- Missing entitlement or host app issue
-
Rerun intelligently.
- Use focused reruns when a specific case fails.
- Avoid burning time on full-suite reruns without new information.
-
Summarize clearly.
- What command ran
- Which tests failed
- What kind of failure it was
- The best next proof step or fix path
Guardrails
- Distinguish compilation failures from test execution failures.
- Call out when a test appears to assume iOS-only or simulator-only behavior.
- Mark likely flakes as such instead of overstating confidence.
Output Expectations
Provide:
- the command used
- the smallest failing scope
- the top failure category
- a concise explanation of the likely cause
- the next rerun or fix step
FAQ
What does the test-triage skill do?
Triage macOS tests across Xcode and SwiftPM. Use when narrowing failures, explaining assertions or crashes, or separating setup from regressions.
How do I install test-triage?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/openai/plugins --skill test-triage in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/test-triage/ (personal) or .claude/skills/test-triage/ (project).
Which AI agents can use test-triage?
Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.
Is test-triage safe to install?
No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.
Who maintains test-triage?
It is published by openai in openai/plugins, and it is an official skill from the maker of the technology it covers. It has 51 recorded installs.
