BUILD VERIFY SKILL — Compile the project and run all tests before committing. USE FOR: pre-commit gate; verifying a fix did not break existing tests; confirming a new test class passes. Provides exact Maven commands, how to read Surefire output, and the pass/fail gate definition. DO NOT USE FOR: writing new tests (use test-writing skill); diagnosing application runtime errors (read source directly).

- BUILD VERIFY SKILL — Compile the project and run all tests before committing. USE FOR: pre-commit gate; verifying a fix did not break existing tests; confirming a new test class passes. Provides exact Maven commands, how to read Surefire output, and the pass/fail gate definition. DO NOT USE FOR: writing new tests (use test-writing skill); diagnosing application runtime errors (read source directly).
Build Verify
Run these commands in the project root (wherever the pom.xml lives) before committing.
Gate Rule
Do not commit if any test fails or the project does not compile. No exceptions. Fix the failure first.
Step 1 — Compile
mvn compile
Expected: BUILD SUCCESS. Any ERROR line means a compilation failure — do not proceed to tests until resolved.
# To see full compiler output without truncation:
mvn compile -e
Step 2 — Run All Tests
mvn test
Expected output ends with:
Tests run: N, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0
BUILD SUCCESS
If any test fails, Maven prints a summary like:
Tests run: 12, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0
Reading Surefire Reports
When a test fails, get the full detail from the Surefire report for that class:
target/surefire-reports/{fully.qualified.ClassName}.txt
The .txt file contains the full failure message, stack trace, and expected vs. actual values.
Running a Single Test Class
To isolate a failing class without running all tests:
mvn test -Dtest=ClassName
# Example:
mvn test -Dtest=NeedAdvancementTest
mvn test -Dtest=EraTransitionTest
To run a single test method:
mvn test -Dtest=ClassName#methodName
# Example:
mvn test -Dtest=NeedAdvancementTest#advanceNeeds_worsensHungerThirstFatigue
Common Failure Causes
| Symptom | Likely cause |
|---|---|
| package X does not exist | Import missing or class moved/renamed |
| cannot find symbol | Method/field renamed; check the domain class |

TEST WRITING SKILL — Write correctly structured JUnit 5 tests that match this project's conventions. USE FOR: adding tests for a new backlog item; flagging missing test coverage; writing tests for engine classes, domain logic, or persistence. Covers class placement, naming conventions, setup patterns, assertion style, and what not to test. DO NOT USE FOR: running tests (use build-verify skill); diagnosing test failures (read the Surefire report directly).

STANDARDS CHECK JAVA SKILL — Apply standards/general.md and standards/java.md systematically to a Java file or diff. USE FOR: pre-commit standards compliance check; reviewing a file for standards adherence before or after a change. Produces a categorized violation list with the specific rule cited for each. DO NOT USE FOR: general code review (use planner-review skill for implementation review).
