| name | build-for-testing |
| description | Compile the TMDb package AND all test targets (without running the tests) to catch test-code compile errors. Use after changing tests or shared code to check everything still builds — delegates to the tooling-runner agent (Haiku) and returns a concise pass/fail + errors-as-file:line summary. Differs from /build, which compiles only the library; to run the tests, use /test. |
Build for testing
Spawn the tooling-runner agent (Agent tool,
subagent_type: tooling-runner — its Haiku pin, command recipes, and
reporting contract live in .claude/agents/tooling-runner.md) with the
one-line task:
Run the build-for-testing target: compile the TMDb package and all test
targets.
Package directory: <your current working directory, absolute>
Always include that directory line. The subagent does not reliably inherit
your working directory, and without it a run inside a git worktree silently
builds the main checkout instead (see .claude/agents/tooling-runner.md).
Use your actual CWD — run pwd if you are not certain of it.
Relay its report. Do not run the build yourself — unless the report is
missing or malformed (below), which is the only sanctioned fallback.
If the report is unclear on a failure, read the log path it reports
(.build/last-build-tests.log) — or, inside Xcode, refresh diagnostics on
the flagged files — rather than re-running. After fixing the issues,
re-invoke this skill to re-check (a fresh subagent will rebuild).
If the report is missing or malformed
Judge the runner's report by shape, not by tone — the three outcomes are
distinguishable and must be handled differently:
| Report | What it means | What you do |
|---|
Status: refused — … | A caller bug (wrong/missing package directory) | Surface it as a hard error and fix the call. Never fall back — the runner is telling you your invocation was unsafe. |
Status: passed/failed | A real result | Relay it; act on any failures |
No report, empty, or missing the Directory:/Status: lines | The subagent died — the run is void, not failed | Re-invoke once. If it voids again, run make -C "<the same absolute directory you passed the runner>" build-tests directly via Bash |
A fallback run is disclosed in your summary — say that you fell back and
why. It is never silently treated as an ordinary result.
