 "title": "Stress-test a fix for a flaky test",
 "page_title": "How to stress-test a fix for a flaky test with Arena Skill",
 "summary": "Let 32 competitors attack and defend a proposed fix before you commit to it.",
 "who": "A developer whose test suite fails now and then on a file like tests/test_api.py and who wants a fix that holds up.",
 "problem": "A single attempt at a fix can pass once and still miss the input that makes the test flaky.",
 "outcome": "A surviving fix with the attacks that broke weaker candidates, so you can check the reasoning before you apply it.",
 "steps": [
  "Clone and copy the skill as described in the install steps of the README",
  "Estimate the cost first with `python3 skills/arena/bracket.py plan --agents 32` (inferred, check the README)",
  "In Claude Code, run `/arena --agents 32 fix the flaky test in tests/test_api.py`",
  "Review the attacks the winning fix survived, especially any MAJOR or FATAL ones",
  "Run the test suite yourself, since the judges reason about the code but do not run it for you"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Use the arena skill from https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/arena-skill to run /arena --agents 32 on the flaky test in <test file>. Expected output: the winning fix, the attacks it survived and the round count. Verify the result by running the project's own test suite before you apply the change.",
 "agents": [
  "claude-code"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README does not say the skill runs your tests, so a surviving fix still needs a real test run from you.",
 "category": "Software and DevOps",
 "tags": [
  "Software and DevOps"
 ],
 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "Claude Code, because the skill spawns sub-agents with the Agent tool",
  "Python 3.8 or newer",
  "git, to clone the repo (or copy the folder by hand)",
  "Tokens to pay for the sub-agent calls, which the README says is the main cost"
