Before & after

Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.

PromptTest my skill against edge cases and failure scenarios
Beforegeneric AI agent
Testing a skill against edge cases is important to make sure it's robust. I'd want to think about what could break or cause unexpected behavior. What does your skill do? Are there edge cases around specific inputs, empty data, very large datasets, unusual formatting, or error conditions? What kind of failure modes are you worried about? Once I understand what your skill is supposed to do and what might go wrong, I can help you design some test cases to run through it.

CHAOS TEST PLAN: Skill Robustness Analysis

SKILL UNDER TEST: Blog-to-Video Converter

FAILURE SCENARIO MATRIX

Scenario 1: Empty/Null Input (Edge case)
  Test: Pass empty blog post string
  Expected: Graceful error message suggesting minimum content length
  Actual: Skill returned error "Input cannot be empty" (PASS)
  Recovery: Suggested user provide at least 500 words

Scenario 2: Extremely Long Input (Boundary)
  Test: Pass 50,000-word blog post (typical limit is 2500 words)
  Expected: Handle gracefully or truncate with warning
  Actual: Truncated to 2500 words, noted in output (PASS)
  Recovery: Provided guidance on splitting into series

Scenario 3: Malformed Markdown (Data Quality)
  Test: Pass blog with broken headers, unmatched brackets, invalid syntax
  Expected: Parse successfully or flag specific syntax errors
  Actual: Parsed successfully; ignored invalid markdown (PASS)
  Recovery: Cleaned output, removed problematic formatting

Scenario 4: Missing Required Metadata (Configuration Failure)
  Test: Call without video_duration or target_platform parameters
  Expected: Default to standard values or reject
  Actual: Defaulted to YouTube format, 8-minute length (PASS)
  Recovery: Documented defaults in response

Scenario 5: Network Timeout (External Dependency)
  Test: Simulate API timeout when fetching related images
  Expected: Fail gracefully or continue without images
  Actual: Continued with text-only script, noted image fetch failed (PASS)
  Recovery: User prompted to manually add image descriptions

Scenario 6: Special Characters & Encoding (Input Sanitization)
  Test: Input blog with emoji, non-ASCII characters, quote marks
  Expected: Handle without breaking JSON output
  Actual: Escaped characters correctly (PASS)
  Recovery: Output was valid JSON and readable

Scenario 7: Circular/Self-Referential Content (Logic)
  Test: Blog post with recursive internal links (link to self repeatedly)
  Expected: Detect and either ignore or note in script
  Actual: Flagged 3 self-references in chain, excluded from script (PASS)
  Recovery: Noted in output that circular links detected

RESULTS SUMMARY
  Total scenarios tested: 7
  Passed: 7 (100%)
  Failed: 0
  Partial failures: 0
  Regression risks: None detected

RECOVERY PATTERNS IDENTIFIED
  1. Input validation: Skill catches empty/oversized inputs before processing
  2. Defaults: Reasonable fallbacks when optional params missing
  3. Dependency handling: Continues operation if external call fails (graceful degradation)
  4. Output safety: JSON escaping prevents malformed output

RECOMMENDATION
  Skill is production-ready. No regression risks identified. All edge cases handled gracefully.
