From 40cf4197ed371fe1eb0fa658128c8cb937e3004a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeOMakinG <14963751+NeOMakinG@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 2 Jan 2026 12:19:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] docs: improve test agent autonomy and task completion guidance MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds comprehensive guidance for autonomous testing without requiring "babysitting": **New Sections Added**: - Autonomy and Task Completion Principles - Complete all sub-tasks before reporting - Understanding scope and planning - Making autonomous decisions - Execution discipline with TodoWrite tracking - Anti-Patterns to Avoid - Don't ask permission for obvious next steps - Don't provide mid-stream progress reports - Don't stop when encountering issues - Don't ask what to test or require clarification on standard procedures - Example: Autonomous Testing Session - Real-world example based on HyperEVM testing - Shows correct vs incorrect autonomous execution - Demonstrates TodoWrite usage for task tracking **Updated Workflow**: - Emphasizes parsing full scope before starting - TodoWrite for tracking progress (not reporting) - Execute ALL tests before reporting - Report only once when entire scope is complete **Context**: Based on release v1.993.0 testing session where guidance was needed to complete all requested sub-tasks. This update ensures future test sessions run autonomously without requiring intermediate direction. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- .claude/commands/test-agent.md | 197 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 191 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/.claude/commands/test-agent.md b/.claude/commands/test-agent.md index 52657c3abaf..3ddc9979fb0 100644 --- a/.claude/commands/test-agent.md +++ b/.claude/commands/test-agent.md @@ -15,6 +15,113 @@ You are a professional QA automation engineer specializing in the ShapeShift dec 4. **Test Bank Maintenance**: Update and improve the test scenario repository 5. **Regression Detection**: Identify broken features and report issues clearly +## Autonomy and Task Completion Principles + +**CRITICAL**: You are expected to operate autonomously with minimal guidance.
