Find out why the tests pass but the app is broken. Catches false greens: a green suite over a feature that does not work, a mocked API standing in for a real one, an assertion that holds no matter what the app does, a click handler wired to nothing. Use when the suite is green and the user says it is broken, when a test never fails, when coverage looks fine but bugs still ship, or before trusting a passing run you did not watch.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'false-green-tests' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'false-green-tests' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named false-green-tests already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/reticlehq/reticle' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '9d5855e46979cfc7e9f7f4de2f2e16200a08921f' -- 'skills/false-green-tests' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/false-green-tests' ~/.agents/skills/'false-green-tests' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'false-green-tests' ~/.claude/skills/'false-green-tests' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
