Runtime per-test healing with evidence: multi-attribute selector healing, environment-aware diagnosis, flake classification, quarantine management, and confidence-scored auto-repair. Goes beyond simple locator fallbacks to cover action-level healing, data healing, and observable repair workflows. Use when: "flaky test," "test stability," "self-healing locator," "broken locator recovery," "unreliable test," "quarantine flaky test." Not for: bulk regenerating selectors after a planned UI…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
<objective> A retried test that still flakes will eventually fail 3-of-3 during your most critical release, and a silently auto-repaired test may now verify a different element entirely. This skill builds suites teams can trust: resilient locators, classified flakes, environment-aware healing, data healing, and observable repair with confidence scoring — every automated fix produces evidence a human can review. </objective> ## Quick Route | Situation | Go to | |-----------|-------| | Test flakes in CI, root cause unknown | Flake Classification → decision tree | | Locator broke, want resilient replacement | Locator Resilience | | Action fails, suspect slow backend not UI bug | Environment-Aware Healing | | 401/404/429 mid-test from stale data | Data Healing | | Want auto-repair with review gate | Observable Repair Workflow | | Isolate a flaky test without blocking CI | Quarantine Management | | Step-by-step triage of one flaky test | `references/flaky-test-runbook.md` | ## Discovery Questions Check `.agents/qa-project-context.md` first — it carries known flaky areas, selector strategy, and CI environment details. Skip any question it already answers. …

How to install
mdr add petrkindlmann/qa-skills/test-reliability@sha256:3e33645460ef078bThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
