Running Smoke Tests
This skill runs smoke tests to verify critical application functionality. It executes pre-defined test suites that check system health, authentication, core features, and external integrations. Use this skill after deployments, upgrades, or significant configuration changes to ensure the application is operational. Trigger this skill using the terms "smoke test" or "st".

name: Running Smoke Tests description: | This skill runs smoke tests to verify critical application functionality.

Use this skill after deployments, upgrades, or significant configuration changes to ensure the application is operational. Trigger this skill using the terms "smoke test" or "st".
Overview
This skill enables Claude to quickly verify the critical functionality of an application by running a suite of smoke tests. It provides a fast pass/fail assessment, helping to identify potential issues early in the deployment process.
How It Works
- Initiate Smoke Test: The user requests a smoke test using the
/smoke-testor/stcommand. - Execute Test Suite: The skill executes the pre-defined suite of smoke tests, covering system health, authentication, core features, and external integrations.
- Report Results: The skill provides a summary of the test results, indicating whether the tests passed or failed.
When to Use This Skill
This skill activates when you need to:
- Verify application functionality after a deployment.
- Confirm system health after an upgrade.
- Sanity-check critical features after configuration changes.
Examples
Example 1: Post-Deployment Verification
User request: "Run a smoke test after deploying the new version."
The skill will:
- Execute the smoke test suite.
- Report the pass/fail status of each test, highlighting any failures in authentication or core feature validation.
Example 2: Configuration Change Validation
User request: "/st to validate the recent database configuration changes."
The skill will:
- Execute the smoke test suite.
- Report the results, specifically checking the system health and integration tests to ensure the database changes didn't introduce issues.
Best Practices
- Focus: Ensure smoke tests focus on the most critical user flows and system components.
- Speed: Keep the smoke test suite execution time under 5 minutes for rapid feedback.
- Integration: Integrate smoke tests into your CI/CD pipeline for automated post-deployment verification.
Integration
This skill can be used in conjunction with other deployment and monitoring tools to provide a comprehensive view of application health and stability. It works independently, requiring only the /smoke-test or /st command to initiate.

evaluating-machine-learning-models: This skill allows Claude to evaluate machine learning models using a comprehensive suite of metrics. It should be used when the user requests model performance analysis, validation, or testing. Claude can use this skill to assess model accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and other relevant metrics. Trigger this skill when the user mentions "evaluate model", "model performance", "testing metrics", "validation results", or requests a comprehensive "model evaluation".
building-neural-networks: This skill allows Claude to construct and configure neural network architectures using the neural-network-builder plugin. It should be used when the user requests the creation of a new neural network, modification of an existing one, or assistance with defining the layers, parameters, and training process. The skill is triggered by requests involving terms like "build a neural network," "define network architecture," "configure layers," or specific mentions of neural network types (e.g., "CNN," "RNN," "transformer").
