What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Failure-analysis skill for Cypress runs. Use when Codex needs to investigate a failing test, distinguish likely product bugs from test issues, and produce a concise developer-focused root-cause report backed by evidence.

Root Cause Analysis Documentation

Use this skill when a failure needs explanation, not just rerunning.

Action

Inputs to consider:

  • failing test output,
  • Cypress command logs,
  • screenshots, videos, HTML reports, or console output,
  • network logs and recent product or test changes when they help explain the failure.

Analysis workflow:

  1. Identify the failing assertion or stopping point.
  2. Reconstruct what the app and test were each expecting.
  3. Classify the issue as likely product bug, test defect, environment issue, or possible flake.
  4. Support the classification with concrete evidence.

Output contract:

  • Failure
  • Most likely cause
  • Classification
  • Evidence
  • Recommended next action
  • Confidence

Guardrails:

  • Do not claim certainty when the evidence is mixed.
  • Separate observation from hypothesis.
  • If the right answer is "needs reproduction with more data," say that directly.
