Automatically execute tests when code-generating agents write to source files, enforcing the execute-before-return pattern.
## Triggers
- Agent writes to `src/**/*.ts`
- Agent writes to `src/**/*.js`
- Agent writes to `src/**/*.py`
- Agent writes to `**/*.go`
- Agent writes to `**/*.rs`
- "run tests"
- "execute feedback"
- "verify my changes"
## Purpose
This skill enforces the MetaGPT executable feedback pattern: code-generating agents must execute tests before returning results to the user. It activates automatically when agents modify source code files.
## Behavior
When triggered, this skill:
1. **Detect modified files**:
- Track which source files the agent has written to
- Identify the relevant test framework
2. **Find related tests**:
- Look for test files matching the modified source
- Convention: `src/foo/bar.ts` -> `test/unit/foo/bar.test.ts`
- If no tests exist, prompt agent to generate them
3. **Execute tests**:
- Run the project's test command focused on relevant tests
- Capture results: passed, failed, errors
4. **Handle results**:
- All pass: Allow agent to return results
- Failures: Trigger debug-and-retry loop (max 3 attempts)
- Persistent failures: Escalate with debug memory context
5. **Update debug memory**:
- Record session in `.aiwg/ralph/debug-memory/sessions/`
- Extract patterns for future reference
## Activation Conditions
```yaml
activation:
always_active_for:
- software-implementer
- debugger
- test-engineer
triggered_by:
- file_write:
patterns:
- "src/**/*.ts"
- "src/**/*.js"
- "src/**/*.py"
- "**/*.go"
- "**/*.rs"
skip_when:
- test_files_only: true
- documentation_only: true
- configuration_only: true
```
## Integration
This skill uses:
- `project-awareness`: Detect test framework and configuration
- Debug memory at `.aiwg/ralph/debug-memory/` for pattern learning
