## What it does

\`regression-suite` maintains a curated test list in `tests/regression-suite.md`. It maps GDD critical paths to test files, marks paths as covered, partial, or missing, and raises priority for formulas and state machines without tests. Audit mode reads `design/gdd/systems-index.md`, the relevant GDD sections, and the test inventory.

Use `/regression-suite update`, `/regression-suite audit`, or `/regression-suite report`. Update checks completed bug fixes in the current sprint, audit compares critical paths with existing coverage, and report provides a read-only status view. The manifest is written to `tests/regression-suite.md`, except in report mode. When `qa.level: minimal`, the skill stops before scanning, so check that setting before expecting an audit.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --skill regression-suite -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --skill regression-suite -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --skill regression-suite -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios regression-suite
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/regression-suite/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --skill regression-suite -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --path .claude/skills/regression-suite
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios --skill regression-suite -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/Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios/tree/HEAD/.claude/skills/regression-suite/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- map GDD critical paths to existing tests
- find fixed bugs that lack regression coverage
- flag new features with missing tests
- maintain the regression test manifest
- produce a read-only coverage report

## Example prompts
- Run `/regression-suite update` to check this sprint’s completed bug fixes.
- Use `/regression-suite audit` to compare GDD critical paths with test coverage.
- Run `/regression-suite report` for a read-only status report.

# Regression Suite

This skill ensures that every bug fix is backed by a test that would have
caught the original bug — and that the regression suite stays current as the
game evolves. It also detects when new features have been added without
corresponding regression coverage.

A regression suite is not a new test category — it is a **curated list of
tests already in `tests/`** that collectively cover the game's critical paths
and known failure points. This skill maintains that list.

**Output:** `tests/regression-suite.md`

**When to run:**
- After fixing a bug (confirm a regression test was written or identify gap)
- Before a phase gate — at `qa.level: full`, `/gate-check` requires a regression suite
- As part of sprint close to detect coverage drift

---

Every `AskUserQuestion` call follows `.claude/docs/automation-modes.md`
(collaborative asks always · guided major-only · autonomous logs and proceeds;
`automation_always_ask` categories always prompt).

**Workflow tier**: `modes.workflow` as resolved above — supplied by `modes.rigor`
unless set explicitly — per `.claude/docs/workflow-modes.md`; in `audit` mode consider
sets whether GDD critical paths are mapped or coverage is smoke-only — see Step 2c.

**`qa.level`**: controls whether the suite is generated at
all. At `minimal`, the regression suite is **not generated** (report that and
stop); at `standard`, generate it at Polish-stage entry; at `full`, at
Production-stage entry. Distinct axis from `workflow`.

## 1. Parse Arguments

**Early `qa.level` guard (resolved above):** if `qa.level: minimal`, the
regression suite is **not generated** — report "Regression suite not generated at
qa.level minimal" and **STOP here, before any scan**, in every mode
(`update` / `audit` / `report`). This is the `qa.level` axis; it is distinct from
the `workflow`-tier `minimal` branch in Step 2c (which only changes the
critical-path *source*, not *whether* the suite runs). Do not enter Step 2c's
`minimal` branch on account of `qa.level`. This stop's verdict is
**NOT ASSESSED** (Section 7) — tests are not required at this level, and nothing
was scanned.

**Modes:**
- `/regression-suite update` — scan new bug fixes this sprint and check
```
