Kiss Regression Tests

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

Audience and tone (interactive mode)

When KISS_AGENT_MODE=interactive (the default), assume the user has limited technical background and limited domain knowledge — they may know basics but lack deep expertise in this skill's area. Run this skill as a guided questionnaire:

• One question at a time. No walls of questions.
• Yes / no first. Phrase so yes, no, not sure, or skip is a valid answer.
• Translate jargon, don't strip it. Use the technical term but always pair it with a plain-English gloss the first time it appears.
• Choices, not blank fields. When yes/no isn't enough, offer 2-4 lettered options (A/B/C/D) with one-line plain-language descriptions of the trade-off. Always include "Not sure — pick a sensible default".
• Always recommend. State the option you would pick and why in one sentence so the user can reply "yes" / "ok" to accept. Pull defaults from upstream artefacts (spec, architecture, ADRs, standards) before asking blank.
• Show, don't ask. When upstream artefacts already imply an answer, propose it as a pre-filled finding and ask for a yes / no confirmation rather than asking the user to fill in a blank.
• not sure / skip triggers a sensible default, marked "(default applied — confirm later)" in the artefact, and a debt entry in this skill's debt file.

When KISS_AGENT_MODE=auto (or --auto), skip the questionnaire entirely: apply sensible defaults from upstream artefacts and log decisions to the parent agent's decision log.

Inputs

• .kiss/context.yml
• {context.paths.docs}/bugs/BUG-*.md
• {context.paths.docs}/bugs/change-register.md

Outputs

• Test files under the project's own test tree (framework-specific).
• {context.paths.docs}/testing/regression-index.md — one row per bug → test file.

Context Update

Does not mutate .kiss/context.yml.

Handoffs

• kiss-change-register links the fix commit to the regression test once the fix lands.
• kiss-bug-triage reads the regression index to verify every closed bug has coverage.

AI authoring scope

Does: scaffold one regression test per fixed bug, targeting the exact repro steps from the bug file, leave the expected assertions explicit.

Does not: run tests, close bugs, modify production code.

Usage

<SKILL_DIR> = the integration's skills root (e.g. .claude/skills/ for Claude Code, .agents/skills/ for Antigravity / Codex, .cursor/skills/ for Cursor, .windsurf/workflows/ for Windsurf). Scripts live at <SKILL_DIR>/<skill-name>/scripts/….

RT_BUG_ID=BUG-014 bash <SKILL_DIR>/kiss-regression-tests/scripts/bash/scaffold-regression.sh --auto
