| name | test-quiet |
| description | Run tests with context-efficient output. Hides passing test output, shows ONLY failures. Use when running tests, checking if tests pass, or verifying changes. Also detects flaky tests. |

Context-Efficient Test Runner
Runs vitest with minimal context consumption. Passing tests show as a single ✓ line. Failing tests show the test name + first line of error. This saves 90%+ of context tokens vs raw vitest output.
Based on HumanLayer's backpressure pattern: swallow passing output, dump failures.
Usage
ALWAYS use this skill instead of running vitest directly. Raw vitest output wastes context.
Run all integration tests
.claude/skills/test-quiet/scripts/run.sh
Run specific tests
.claude/skills/test-quiet/scripts/run.sh test/integration/core.test.ts
.claude/skills/test-quiet/scripts/run.sh test/integration/
Detect flaky tests
Re-runs failing tests multiple times to distinguish flaky from consistent failures:
.claude/skills/test-quiet/scripts/run.sh --flaky
.claude/skills/test-quiet/scripts/run.sh --flaky --runs 5
Options
| Flag | Description |
|---|
--flaky | Re-run failing tests to detect flakiness |
--runs N | Number of re-runs for flaky detection (default: 3) |
[path] | Test file or directory (default: test/integration/) |

After Running
- If all pass: you're done, move on
- If failures exist: read the failing test file and the error message to understand what's broken
- If
--flaky shows flaky tests: investigate timer/async issues (see test-diagnostics skill)
- Do NOT re-run the full suite to "double check" — trust the results
