Description: In #1527, the agent changed rule management logic but didn't run test_readme_example tests, which assert exact CLI output including rule selections. CI caught it instead. New skill usethis-python-test-affected-find teaches agents to identify indirectly affected tests before pushing: General principles: trace callers not just callees, check integration tests, flag tests with exact output assertions Domain-specific rules: rule management changes → always run test_readme_example; tool config changes → run CLI output tests; file I/O changes → run all dependent tool tests Original prompt This section details on the original issue you should resolve Agent skill to proactively identify failing tests In #1527, relevant affected tests weren't identified by the agent, so the CI failed. We should try and create an agent skill usethis-python-test-affected-find which explains how to find potentially failing tests, giving some general principles, as well as specific guidance. The first piece of specific guidance is that for any changes to rule management logic, we should always run the test_readme_example tests - these are always potentially affected. Comments on the Issue (you are @copilot in this section) Fixes #1544 ⚡ Quickly spin up Copilot coding agent tasks from anywhere on your macOS or Windows machine with Raycast.
