Can I run tests for a specific Python version?

Yes, the skill identifies available venv hashes for various Python and package combinations, allowing you to target specific environments using the --venv flag.

Does it handle external dependencies like databases?

Yes, the skill automatically manages the lifecycle of required Docker services, such as Redis or Postgres, that are necessary for specific integration test suites.

How does this skill decide which tests to run?

It uses the scripts/run-tests utility to map your modified files to specific test suites defined in the project's suitespec configuration, ensuring only relevant tests are executed.

Why shouldn't I run all available venvs at once?

Running all environments locally can be extremely time-consuming; the skill is designed to find a minimal representative set (1-2 venvs) for rapid iteration, leaving full coverage to the CI pipeline.

Security & Testing

Validates code changes by intelligently selecting and running the most relevant test suites and virtual environments.

The run-tests skill streamlines the development workflow by automatically identifying which tests are affected by specific code modifications. Instead of running exhaustive, time-consuming test suites, it analyzes your changes to select a minimal set of virtual environments and handles Docker service dependencies to provide rapid feedback. Whether you are working on core library logic or specific third-party integrations, this skill ensures regression-free code updates with precise control over test execution, environment hashes, and debugging verbosity.
