fixing-flaky-tests

fixing-flaky-tests is a Build, CI & test failure triage skill for AI agents, published by PostHog in the posthog repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates fixing-flaky-tests D (59/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Guides an agent through reproducing, root-causing, fixing, and validating flaky tests in the PostHog monorepo. Use when a test fails intermittently in CI but passes on rerun or locally, when `hogli ci:insights` or the debugging-ci-failures skill classifies a failure as a flaky test, when given a GitHub Actions URL for a flaky job, or when asked to deflake, stabilize, or fix a flaky Jest, pytest, or Playwright test. Core discipline: reproduce locally before changing anything, fix the root cause (never mask it with sleeps, retries, or bigger timeouts), and prove the fix with an N-run validation loop sized to the observed failure rate.
