agentbisect SKILL.md skillA

agentbisect from test-bit-sys/agentbisect is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add test-bit-sys/agentbisect/agentbisect@git:20261102.748a508

Pins git:20261102.748a508 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Autonomous trajectory debugging and binary-search regression locator for AI coding agents. Enables agents to locate the exact step that broke tests and rewind the workspace to a clean state.

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

# AgentBisect Skill

Use this skill whenever an agent coding session encounters test failures, compilation errors, or broken functionality after multi-step autonomous modifications.

## Core Problem Solved
When agents execute 10 to 50 sequential steps, a subtle mistake at Step $k$ often causes compounding hallucinations in subsequent steps. Instead of scrapping the entire workspace or manually guessing which tool call introduced the bug, `AgentBisect` applies deterministic binary search over the session steps to isolate the first broken step in $\mathcal{O}(\log N)$ evaluations and rewinds the workspace.

## Available MCP Tools

### 1. `agentbisect_snapshot`
Creates a non-polluting shadow git snapshot before or after significant workspace edits.
```json
{
  "summary": "Refactored database query to use connection pooling",
  "files": ["src/db/connection.py"]
}
```

### 2. `agentbisect_bisect`
Executes automated binary search over the recorded steps to locate the exact step that caused a test regression.
```json
{
  "test_command": "pytest tests/test_auth.py",
  "timeout_seconds": 45
}
```
**Returns:**
- The first faulty step number and summary.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add test-bit-sys/agentbisect/agentbisect@sha256:279d460555d25408

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.748a508, 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.
