# CIGE: Agentic Test Case Authoring
Use this skill when writing, reviewing, or refactoring AI agent test cases. It enforces the CIGE standard — a structured format that separates stable test intent from adaptive execution, enabling self-healing agentic tests.
## When to invoke
- Authoring a new agentic test case from scratch
- Reviewing an existing test for brittleness or missing structure
- Designing test guardrails for a new agent workflow
For a completed run — pass or fail — do not decide repairs here. Invoke `cige-failure-classification` first; it classifies the outcome and names which skill (if any) should act.

## The CIGE Format
Every agentic test case must be expressed in this structure:
```json
{
"Context": {
"system": "<app or service under test, version if relevant>",
"environment": "<staging | dev | ephemeral | ...>",
"tools": ["<tool 1>", "<tool 2>"],
"preconditions": ["<seed data>", "<auth state>", "<feature flags>"],
"specRef": "<path or URL to the BRD / product spec that defines expected behavior>",
"buildRef": "<pointer to the build/version under test and its release documentation — changelog, release notes, or build manifest>"
},
"Intent": "<single outcome-based objective — what success looks like>",
"Guardrails": [
"<constraint the agent must never violate>",
"<scope boundary or irreversibility limit>"
],
"Execution": [
"<adaptive step 1 — guidance, not script>",
"<adaptive step 2>",
