## What it does

The skill talks to Antithesis through the `snouty` API and walks you through what happened in a run. You get run status and metadata, failed properties (assertions), downloaded logs, findings, and event search across all timelines. The workhorse is `snouty runs <OPTION> --json`, which returns line-delimited JSON.

Two things must be in place first: `snouty` at version 0.8.0 or newer, and `jq`. The skill runs `snouty doctor --json` as a preflight and only proceeds when the top-level `ok` is `true` and the `api_key` check reports `ok`. If `api_key` is the failing check, set `ANTITHESIS_API_KEY` — triage stops there otherwise. The tenant comes from snouty's resolved settings, so you are only asked for it when `doctor` shows it unset.

A `references/` directory holds separate guides for run discovery, run info, properties, logs, and instrumentation. They are not meant to be read up front; the skill opens each one when the task calls for it. One thing worth knowing: if `links.triage_report` is null in the run-info output, no triage report exists for that run — common for cancelled runs — and the properties and logs endpoints return 404.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add antithesishq/antithesis-skills --skill antithesis-triage -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/antithesis-triage/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/antithesis-triage/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add antithesishq/antithesis-skills --skill antithesis-triage -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/antithesis-triage/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add antithesishq/antithesis-skills --skill antithesis-triage -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/antithesis-triage/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install antithesishq/antithesis-skills antithesis-triage
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

npx skills add antithesishq/antithesis-skills --skill antithesis-triage -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/antithesishq/antithesis-skills --path antithesis-triage
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/antithesis-triage/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add antithesishq/antithesis-skills --skill antithesis-triage -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/antithesishq/antithesis-skills/tree/HEAD/antithesis-triage/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- figure out why an Antithesis run failed
- pull the log for a property's first counterexample
- compare logs from passing and failing examples of one property
- check whether symbols were uploaded and the software instrumented
- search an event across every timeline in a run

## Example prompts
- Triage the latest Antithesis run and list the failed properties
- Download the log for the first counterexample of the failing property and explain the cause
- Search all timelines for whether event A always precedes failure B

# Antithesis Run Triage

**Skill version:** `2026-10-21 4f8d80b`

Use this skill to analyze Antithesis test runs.

**Reference files:** This skill's `references/` directory contains detailed guides for specific tasks. Do NOT read them all up front — only read a reference file when you are told to. Each reference file is mentioned by name at the point where it is needed.

## Prerequisites

- DO NOT PROCEED if `snouty` is not installed. See `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antithesishq/snouty/refs/heads/main/README.md` for installation options.
- DO NOT PROCEED if `snouty` is older than 0.8.0. Use `snouty --version` to find the version. Use `snouty update` to update.
- DO NOT PROCEED if `jq` is not installed. See `https://jqlang.org/download/` for installation options.

### Preflight: confirm triage can work

The triage skill talks to Antithesis through the snouty API (`snouty runs ...`). Before doing any work, confirm the setup is ready:

```bash
snouty doctor --json
```

This validates API connectivity and reports snouty's resolved configuration.

Proceed only when the top-level `ok` is `true` and the `api_key` check's `status` is `ok`. Otherwise relay the failing check's `message`/`notes` and stop; if `api_key` is the failing check, tell the user to set `ANTITHESIS_API_KEY`.

The `settings` array in the same output carries snouty's resolved parameters. For example, you can look up the resolved tenant with:

```bash
snouty doctor --json | jq -r '.settings[] | select(.name == "tenant") | .value'
```

## Gathering user input

Before starting, collect the following from the user:

1. **Tenant Name** (required) — You must know the tenant name. Read snouty's resolved tenant from `snouty doctor --json` (see Preflight); snouty resolves it from the environment or a settings file, so trust that value. Only ask the user if `doctor` shows the tenant is unset.
