Tewip

Tewip

Tewip (Uyghur téwip, تېۋىپ: healer, doctor) is the layer that proves software work - written by a person or by an agent.

It finds why each failing test failed (a real bug, a flaky test, the environment, test data, or a changed selector), says whether a test could ever fail at all, breaks your code to find out whether the tests would notice, reads what a migration will do to a live database, and gives one verdict on whether a change is done. Every answer carries its evidence and names what decided it: a deterministic rule, the AI model, or a person's correction.

What makes it worth installing is what it refuses to say. It answers "cannot say" rather than guessing, it will not narrow a test run it cannot prove safe to narrow, and every report ends with what it did not check. Each number below was measured on strangers' real code, never on fixtures.

It works for every stack: Node.js (node:test, Jest, Vitest, Mocha), Python (pytest, unittest), Java and Kotlin (JUnit, TestNG), Go, .NET, Ruby, PHP and Rust, each checked against its real runner's report (the full list), plus Playwright in depth with traces, selector drift and verified fixes. It also reads the failure wording of the browser and component-test tools on top of those runners (Selenium, WebdriverIO, Cypress, Testing Library for React, Vue and Angular, Vue Test Utils, jest-dom and Jasmine), checked against more than 500 real messages from public projects.

Formerly triage-agent: the repository moved to hmamut39/tewip, and GitHub redirects the old address. See ROADMAP.md for the plan.

Status: phases 1 to 14 are built; the two auto-fix phases (5 and 8) are the ones still in progress. Tewip collects failures from any framework, diagnoses them with rules first and a model only for what rules cannot settle, and turns that into work for each role: a CI comment and merge gate, test plans and verified tests, a flake dossier, a PR-risk review, security scanning, tickets in Jira, Rally, GitHub Issues, Azure Boards or Linear, checks generated from a Figma design, specifications written for people, and - opt in, and only when proved - fixes to test or application code. It runs live in GitHub CI and answers questions from AI assistants through MCP. On fresh real Gutenberg CI failures, with the pipeline frozen before labelling, accuracy is 93.4%; across six real datasets it ranges from 86.1% to 99.7%, and the caveats are in eval/README.md.

What it costs

Most failures never reach a model. On 3,556 real CI failures from six public projects, the deterministic rules answered 75.1% on their own - and on the labelled ones they answered correctly 1,979 times out of 2,012 (98.4%). A rule-answered failure costs nothing, explains itself, and gives the same answer every time.

Only the remaining quarter is sent to a model, so triaging 1,000 real failures costs about $1.12 at gpt-5.4-mini's published price. That is measured, not estimated: three real uncached calls on held-out failures billed 3,624 prompt and 499 completion tokens each. A real week costs less, because a failure that repeats is answered from cache, and a failure someone has corrected never goes to the model again.

Tewip prints what every command costs, caps its own spend, and works with no key at all - the rules run on their own and everything they cannot settle is left as UNKNOWN rather than guessed.

Use it in your project

Giving it to your team (or another company): TEAM-GUIDE.md — what to install, what each role uses it for, and what it never does.

Putting it on a real repository: QUICKSTART.md — ten minutes, copy-paste, and what to check on the first failing run.

1. In GitHub CI (developers, SDETs, DevOps)

Tell Playwright to write a blob report in CI. It's a built-in reporter, so there's no triage-agent code in your config:

// playwright.config.tsreporter: process.env.CI ? [['list'], ['blob']] : 'list',use: { trace: 'retain-on-failure' },

Then add one step after your tests:

permissions:  contents: write        # only needed for autofix  pull-requests: write  issues: write  actions: read          # lets it read the failed job's log when no test report was written
steps:  # ... checkout, install, npx playwright test ...  - name: triage-agent    if: always()    uses: hmamut39/tewip@main    with:      openai-api-key: ${{ secrets.OPENAI_API_KEY }}   # optional: without it only the rules run      autofix: 'true'                                  # optional: verified locator-fix PRs

On every run, the action:

• Developers: posts one diagnosis comment on the pull request and keeps it updated. For each failure it says whether the change likely caused it, why, and what to do next.
• SDETs: writes the triage board into the job summary.
• DevOps: collects environment failures (server errors, connection resets, outages) in one GitHub issue, and each new run adds a single grouped comment to it.
• The tests in the pull request: on a PR it reads the test files the change touched and says which of them could never fail - an unfinished expectation, a value compared with itself, a test that discards its own failure, one that never runs. It says nothing when they are all sound, and it says it even on a green run, because "all tests passed" is the exact sentence that needs qualifying when one of them cannot fail. Needs fetch-depth: 0 on actions/checkout so the diff can be read; without it the section is skipped rather than guessed at. Any such test also enters the attestation as a refusal, so a release decision taken from the bundle cannot rest on a test that proves nothing.
• What the change would slip past (prove: true): breaks the source files the pull request touched in small deliberate ways, runs the tests that cover them, and reports every change none of them noticed - "these 2 changes to your code would have slipped past your tests", with the lines. Off by default because each change costs a real test run; prove-budget (default 300s) caps the whole thing, and it says which files it did not reach rather than implying they were clean. Every file is put back exactly as it was. Each unnoticed change also enters the attestation as a refusal: a line nothing checks is not a line this bundle can claim was verified.
• Evidence, every run: the Action writes an attestation into its artifact - the claims with their evidence and which layer decided each, what Tewip refused to decide, and what it did not check at all. Nothing enters it that Tewip did not verify itself, so a release decision can be taken from it without opening CI.
• Fixes (autofix: true): for drifted locators that the deterministic rule matched to a renamed element, it rewrites the locator, re-runs that test, and opens a separate pull request with the changes that passed. It never merges and never edits application code.
• Every role: uploads all role views as the tewip-report artifact.
• When the job dies before any test runs (an image that would not pull, a runner out of disk, a service container that never came up): it reads the failed job's log and names the cause, instead of leaving a red X with no explanation.
• History: keeps the run history in the Actions cache, never in git.
• Corrections: reply to the agent's comment with /triage CATEGORY #n reason (e.g. /triage TIMING #2 flaky on CI). It stores that with the history and, next time that test fails the same way, gives the person's answer instead of its own, naming them and their reason. A corrected failure also costs nothing: it never goes to the model again.

For senior engineers, architects and leads, add a scheduled workflow with mode: report, for example weekly. It builds the engineering-quality, architecture and risk-digest views from the stored CI history, reusing earlier diagnoses so it makes no repeat AI calls. The views are kept in one GitHub issue that each report updates:

on:  schedule: [{ cron: '0 6 * * 1' }]  workflow_dispatch:permissions: { contents: read, issues: write }jobs:  report:    runs-on: ubuntu-latest    steps:      - uses: hmamut39/tewip@main        with: { mode: report }

The report reads the history cache of the branch it runs on, usually the default branch.

The repository needs "Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests" enabled for fix PRs. Pull requests opened by the workflow token don't trigger CI themselves; the agent verified each change by re-running the test before opening the PR. It was first proved end to end on a private practice repository, which is why there is no link to click here. If this repository is private, other repositories can only use the action when Settings → Actions → Access allows it.

As a Claude Code plugin (no account, no marketplace approval)

claude plugin marketplace add hmamut39/tewip-pluginclaude plugin install tewip@tewip

That is the whole publication process. A marketplace is a .claude-plugin/marketplace.json file in a git repository, so Tewip publishes one at hmamut39/tewip-plugin - nobody has to approve it, and there is nothing to pay for. That repository holds the plugin only: a manifest, three skills and a pointer to the npm package, which is why this one can stay private. The plugin brings Tewip's MCP server and three skills that tell Claude Code when to use it: before claiming a change is done, when a test fails, and when a change touches a migration. It costs about 410 tokens per session until a skill is actually needed.

The MCP server runs from the published package (npx -y tewip-ai@latest mcp), so the plugin stays small and you always get the current version.

The editor extension (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium)

Download tewip-0.5.0.vsix, then in the editor press Ctrl+Shift+P and run Extensions: Install from VSIX…. It needs the command line: npm install -g tewip-ai.

Press Ctrl+Shift+P and type "Tewip" for: Explain a test report…, Why did CI fail on this branch?, Risk review of this change, Which flaky tests to quarantine, Check secrets and dependencies, and What our corrections add up to. The editor's AI assistant also picks Tewip up as an MCP server with nothing to configure.

It is not in the Visual Studio Marketplace: publishing there now requires an Azure subscription, which means a credit card for a free extension. The file above installs exactly the same thing.

2. From any AI assistant, through MCP (the whole IT team)

mcp/server.ts is a read-only Model Context Protocol server. Anyone on the team can ask their own assistant about test failures, in the editor or chat they already use:

Setup, after npm install:

• Claude Code in this repo: .mcp.json is already here, so approve tewip when asked. From anywhere else, run claude mcp add tewip -- tewip mcp (installed), or claude mcp add tewip -- node /path/to/tewip/mcp/server.ts (from a checkout).
• Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients: add a stdio server with command tewip and args ["mcp"], or command node with args ["/path/to/tewip/mcp/server.ts"] from a checkout.

github_ci_report uses the gh CLI login on your machine. The other tools read the datasets under data/, and the AI layer uses OPENAI_API_KEY from .env.

Use it from your editor (any IDE that speaks MCP)

VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf and VSCodium: install the Tewip extension (extensions/vscode, packaged as tewip-<version>.vsix: Extensions → … → Install from VSIX). It registers Tewip as an MCP server by itself, so the assistant can use it with no configuration, and adds two commands: Tewip: Explain a test report… and Tewip: Why did CI fail on this branch?

Every other MCP client (JetBrains IDEs 2025.2+, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or an editor without the extension) takes one entry. With Tewip installed from its release file (npm install -g tewip-<version>.tgz), the command is simply tewip mcp; from a checkout, point at cli/tewip.ts:

Point the entry at this checkout with an absolute path (the server resolves its own data, so the editor's working directory does not matter). VS Code uses its own shape, with a servers key and a type; put it in the workspace's .vscode/mcp.json, or in your user-level configuration (command MCP: Open User Configuration) to have it in every window:

{  "servers": {    "tewip": { "type": "stdio", "command": "tewip", "args": ["mcp"] }  }}

Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf and most other clients use the mcpServers shape (Cursor: Settings → MCP):

{  "mcpServers": {    "tewip": { "command": "tewip", "args": ["mcp"] }  }}

• JetBrains (IntelliJ, WebStorm, PyCharm 2025.2+): Settings → Tools → MCP Server.
• Inside this repository nothing is needed for Claude Code: .mcp.json is already set up.

Then ask, in plain language: "why did CI fail on my PR?", "which tests are flaky in checkout?", "is the main branch safe to release?". You can also ask it to "write a test plan for the checkout feature in C:\work\shop": the test_plan tool plans from that project's real tests, code and pages, and saves the plan in its .tewip folder. Every other tool is read-only, and github_ci_report reads the report the Action uploaded, so you can ask about a repository's CI without cloning it or opening the Actions page (it uses your gh login).

Plan and write tests (Phases 6 and 7, new)

Run these inside your project. Both need OPENAI_API_KEY, and both print what they cost.

tewip plan "Checkout: a signed-in shopper pays by card and gets a receipt" --url http://localhost:3000/checkouttewip write                        # tests for the plan's "to automate next" scenariostewip write --only CO-002,CO-004 --framework pytest

• tewip plan reads what is really there: the tests you already have (in any language), the change (--diff main...HEAD), the live pages (what a user sees on each page, via Playwright), and the failures Tewip has diagnosed in this project before. The plan lists risks and scenarios by priority. A claim that a scenario is "already covered" is checked against your real test names, and dropped if no such test exists. Saved to .tewip/plans/ as Markdown to review and JSON for write.
• Does a plan catch real bugs? Measured on 18 real pull requests that were later found to have broken something: the repository is fetched at the pull request's own head, the plan written from the diff a reviewer saw, and nothing about the bug is known to it. In 8 of the 9 pairs that could be judged, a scenario named the bug - in matrix-org/complement, NLnetLabs/domain, Bioconductor/rhdf5, Try/OpenGothic and others. One pull request was titled "Resolve nightly warnings" and the plan still found the behaviour change hidden inside it. The caveats are real and written out in ROADMAP.md: nine judged pairs is a small sample, Claude did the judging rather than each project's engineers, and the one miss is the interesting case - when a pull request's intention is wrong, a plan grounded in that intention agrees with it.
• tewip write writes each scenario as a test in your framework and style: Playwright, Cypress, WebdriverIO, Angular, Jest, Vitest, pytest (with Selenium or Playwright), JUnit on Maven or Gradle (Selenium, Spring Boot), .NET or Go. It copies the style of an existing test and uses only elements seen on the real page. Front-end apps get component tests the way their own tests are written: React, Vue or Svelte with Testing Library under Jest or Vitest, and Angular through ng test (Karma and Jasmine, or Vitest). A project with both e2e and unit tests gets browser tests when the plan read pages, and unit or component tests when it did not. Then it runs the test. A draft is kept only if it passes every run (3 by default) and fails once its main check is broken on purpose, because a test that cannot fail is worse than no test. A failing draft is repaired from the real error, twice at most. If the test looks right and the app does something else, Tewip reports a possible bug instead of weakening the test until it passes. Kept tests are new files beside yours, for you to review and commit; nothing is committed, and no application code is touched.

Check the page against the design (Phase 11, new)

tewip design "https://www.figma.com/design/KEY/Checkout?node-id=12-34" --url http://localhost:3000/checkouttewip design frame.json --frame "Sign in"     # a saved frame, no Figma token needed

Tewip reads the frame (Figma's REST API, read only, TEWIP_FIGMA_TOKEN) and the running page (its accessibility snapshot, which is what a screen reader and a test both see), and says where they disagree: the design says button "Sign in", the page says button "Log in". It checks the words the design specifies, the controls its layer names imply, and the regions its sections imply - never pixels, colours or spacing, because a design tool and a browser do not measure those the same way. No model is called, so it costs nothing and answers the same way every time.

Measured on four real design/page pairs (a public repository's Figma exports and the pages built from them): 38 checks, 0 differences reported on pages that match their design, 11 of 11 real drifts caught (a renamed control, a dropped sentence, a word swapped inside a sentence, a region that lost its markup) and 5 of 5 harmless changes ignored (capitals, extra spaces, a button implemented as a link, reordered sections). No designer has judged the output yet, so the roadmap's own metric is still open.

More runners: Robot Framework, JMeter, k6 (new)

Tewip now reads Robot Framework's output.xml, JMeter's .jtl and a k6 summary as well as JUnit XML, TRX, NUnit and Playwright's own reports. A load test does not fail test by test, so a JMeter report becomes one line per request ("4 of 5 requests failed, an assertion failed") and a k6 run becomes one record per crossed threshold, with the number that crossed it.

Appium and Selenium need no importer: those suites report through Mocha, pytest or JUnit, which Tewip already reads, and their own error messages ("Could not find a connected device", "stale element reference") are already understood.

Each reader was checked against real reports published in public repositories, which is how three defects were found before release - a Robot timestamp that is not a date, k6's numbers living under values, and a JMeter line that read "mostly 200" when an assertion had failed.

Tell it when it is wrong (new)

tewip correct diagnosis "checkout charges twice" TEST_DATA "the fixture has stale prices"tewip correct flaky "adds an item" fix-now "it is a real race, not flakiness"tewip correct security "src/config.ts:12" noise "that is a sample key in a fixture"tewip correct --list

Tewip answers with your decision from then on, and says it was yours: "TEST_DATA, confidence 1.00, source: corrected by a person". Corrections live in your project, so they belong to the team; the newest one wins, so changing your mind is just saying so again.

A correction changes what Tewip says, never what it does on its own — it will not change code, quarantine a test or file a ticket because you corrected it.

What your corrections add up to (new)

tewip learn                      # where Tewip is systematically wrong, from what you correctedtewip learn --labels labels.jsonl  # your corrections as labelled examples, to measure a change against

One correction fixes one failure. Twenty of them say which rule to change. tewip learn groups them - "45x said REAL_BUG, you said TIMING; rule locator-drift decided 27 of them; from 11 different tests" - and points at the rule to read, with three of the real failures underneath.

It will not pretend. Fewer than three corrections of the same shape is "not yet a pattern", not a finding; when no single rule is behind a group it says a rule is missing rather than blaming one; and it tells you how many different tests a pattern came from, because one flaky test corrected six times is one piece of evidence, not six.

Build a feature, test first (new)

tewip build "naturalsize should take a sep argument that goes between the number and the unit"tewip build --issue PROJ-123    # build from the ticket's own description and acceptance criteriatewip build "..." --pr          # commit the proved work on its own branch, open a draft PRtewip build "..." --dry-run     # prove it, show the patch, leave nothing on disk

Tewip writes the test first and runs it. If that test passes, it stops and keeps nothing — a test that passes before the feature exists is testing nothing. Then it writes the smallest code that makes the test pass, and keeps the work only if the new test passes and nothing that was passing has started to fail. Otherwise every file goes back byte for byte, including the test it wrote. Nothing is ever committed.

Tried on two real public projects: it added a trailing-slash rule to unjs/ufo (4 lines, TypeScript, $0.18) and a sep argument to python-humanize (2 lines, Python, $0.10), each with its own failing-then-passing test and the project's whole suite still green. Asked for something that already worked, it stopped after one model call and kept nothing.

It also refuses a feature that does not belong here at all. Handed a real Apache ticket about a Flink HTTP sink, a URL library got an "HTTP sink" built into it - test passing, suite green, every proof rule held, because when Tewip writes both the test and the code it can always make a self-consistent pair pass. So before writing anything it now asks whether the words of the feature mean anything in this repository, and refuses for free when they do not.

The old promise was "it can't touch your code". The new one is "it can't change your code without showing you it works".

Before anyone reads the diff (new)

tewip review --diff main...HEAD

Which tests cover this change and how (they import the file, they import the package that exports it, or their words merely match); which of them have flaked before, so a red run is not blamed on your change; what has gone wrong in these areas before; what nothing tests at all; and the command to run the telling tests first. From your project's own history, so it costs nothing.

Measured on 16 real commits from two public projects, where the developers changed source and its test: given only the source files, Tewip named the right test in 16 of 16, ranked it first in 12.

It also shows the checks a change renegotiates — every test assertion the diff rewrites, withdraws or renames, with the old text beside the new one. A test written earlier is behaviour someone agreed on, and this is the one thing in a review that the change's own description cannot account for: everything else reads the change's account of itself. It never passes judgement — tests change for good reasons — it asks which of them the author intended.

Alongside it, the decisions a change alters outside its tests: a guard that refused something, a value other code falls back on, a limit that decides behaviour under load, a version or runner pinned on purpose. Same rule - only things that already existed, never additions - and the same question rather than a verdict.

Both came out of a measurement rather than an idea. Of 18 real pull requests later found to have broken something, the one Tewip's test plan missed was one whose intention was wrong: it changed a freshness rule, changed the tests to match, and was reverted the next day.

What these checks are not is a predictor, and the measurement says so plainly. On 14 pull requests known to have caused a regression they speak up on 4; on 30 ordinary merged pull requests from the same repositories, on 9 - 29% against 30%. A change that alters an agreement is not more likely to be broken. What they do is put those alterations in front of a person: on the ordinary set they surfaced 23 of them, among which a raise SystemExit guard that was deleted, a semaphore dropped from 4 to 1, and a CI runner image moved. No model is called, so this costs nothing.

Which flaky tests to quarantine, and what they cost (new)

tewip flaky --days 30        # the dossier: quarantine, fix, or watch - with the evidencetewip flaky --apply          # writes the quarantine line into the test file

Other tools count retries. Tewip already decided why each failure happened, so it can say: this test failed in 161 of 647 runs across 109 different branches - that is the test, not your change - and quarantining it gives the team back 148 CI minutes a week. It refuses to hide a test that mostly fails (that one is broken, not flaky) and never quarantines a test whose failures looked like a real bug.

Measured on three real projects' CI history (Gutenberg twice, Supabase): 76 tests proposed for quarantine, zero of them containing a single real-bug failure, giving back roughly 34, 148 and 1,178 CI minutes a week. It also tells you when a quarantined test has stopped failing and should come back - the half nobody ever does.

Bugs filed back, and test cases where your team keeps them (Phase 10, completed)

tewip bugs report.xml --project SHOP             # shows what it would file; nothing is createdtewip bugs report.xml --project SHOP --create    # files themtewip jira plan.json --export xray --out cases.csv    # or --export zephyr

tewip bugs files a ticket only for failures it diagnosed as a real bug, with the error, the evidence and the run link. A flaky test or a broken environment is deliberately not filed - that is the point of diagnosing first. The same failure is never filed twice: the second sighting is a short note on the ticket Tewip itself opened. A dry run needs no Jira account at all.

--export xray|zephyr writes the plan's scenarios as the CSV those tools import, one row per step. No account, no network; importing stays your step.

Security: which findings actually matter (Phase 9, new)

tewip secure                              # secrets + npm audit / pip-audit / osv-scanner, triagedtewip secure --url http://localhost:3000  # also check the running apptewip secure --zap-report zap.json        # and triage an OWASP ZAP baseline reporttewip secure --gate                       # fails a build only on what needs a person now

Scanners are good at finding things and bad at saying which of them matter. Tewip runs the ones your project already has and sorts every finding into act on this now, real but not reachable (a dev dependency, a package nothing imports, a file git does not track), noise (a placeholder from a README), or accepted (a person already judged it, in a file only people write). Each verdict carries the evidence. No model is called, so it costs nothing, and a credential is located, never printed.

With --url it also checks the running app the way a browser would: security headers, cookie flags, and the files that must never be served (.env, .git). No payloads, no fuzzing, no login bypass - and an address that is not your machine is refused unless you say --i-am-authorised. For the deep scan it prints the OWASP ZAP command and triages ZAP's report rather than pretending to be a scanner.

Measured on the gitleaks project's own labelled samples, for the credential kinds Tewip covers: 50 of 54 real credentials found. The web check found 8 of 8 planted weaknesses in two local apps and reported nothing about the carefully served one; on four real public homepages its report matched the headers those sites actually send, every time. Four defects that corpus exposed are fixed; the four still missed are things that are not credentials (an unsigned token, a Stripe test key). It never claims a project is secure - it prints what it checked and what it did not.

Epics, stories and acceptance criteria (Phase 14, new)

tewip spec "Readers can search the library and open a result"tewip spec "..." --project PROJ            # shows what it would file in Jiratewip spec "..." --project PROJ --create   # files the epic and its stories

An epic, user stories and Given / When / Then acceptance criteria, written from your code, your tests and your failure history. Anything it says the system already does carries a quote from a file it read, and Tewip checks that quote word by word; what it cannot quote becomes an open question instead of a confident sentence. It writes no estimates, dates or business cases, because it cannot check them.

Measured on three real projects: 15 stories, 49 acceptance criteria, and of 46 claims about existing behaviour, 22 were kept with a checkable quote and 24 were turned into open questions.

Any CI, your chat, and your own machine (Phase 13, new)

tewip report report.xml --gate      # GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, Azure, Bitbucket, Travis, Dronetewip watch --cmd "npm test"        # beside your editor: explains each failure as it happenstewip note --days 7                 # the weekly quality note for a lead - free, no model calls

tewip report reads which CI it is in from that platform's own variables, prints the triage board, writes it to a file, appends it to the job summary, and with --gate fails the build only on failures that are not known flaky or environment noise. On GitLab it posts the diagnosis as one merge-request note and edits that same note next run instead of piling up. With TEWIP_SLACK_WEBHOOK or TEWIP_TEAMS_WEBHOOK it tells the team's chat - and says nothing at all when no failure needs a person, so nobody mutes it.

Fix the code, but only when the tests prove it (Phase 12, new, opt-in)

tewip fix --code report.xml          # shows the patch; your files are left as they weretewip fix --code report.xml --apply  # leaves the proved change in your working tree

Tewip has refused to touch application code since day one. This is the one exception, and it only runs when you type --code. It takes a failure it diagnosed as a real bug (0.85 confidence or more), finds the file the failure points at, asks for the smallest change, and then proves it: the failing test must pass and the whole suite must still pass. It will not edit tests, configuration, CI files, lockfiles, migrations or anything with secrets in it, because a test going green after changing those proves nothing. If it cannot prove a change, it explains the bug instead and puts your file back byte for byte. It never commits and never merges.

Measured by replaying 16 real bug fixes from two public repositories, in two languages: the commit before each fix, with only that fix's tests, so the real bug really reproduces.

Every change is small (1 to 16 lines, median 4) and most are what the developers themselves wrote. No wrong fix was offered: anything that could not be proved was thrown away and the file put back byte for byte.

One bundle a release manager can read (Phase 15)

tewip attest --out attestation.md

Everything Tewip knows about a build, in one file: which tests ran, what each failure was, which rule or which model decided it, what it refused to decide, and what it never looked at. The refusals are the point - a tool that never says "I could not tell" has nothing worth attesting, because every line it writes might be a guess.

The bundle carries a digest, and an Ed25519 signature when you give it a key:

TEWIP_ATTEST_KEY=./private.pem tewip attest            # sign ittewip attest --verify attestation.json --key public.pem  # check it

A digest is not a signature and Tewip says so: without a key it tells you the bundle is undamaged, not that nobody edited it. Editing a claim out of a signed bundle makes verification fail and exit non-zero. Every CI run writes one of these automatically.

Is this incident covered by a test? (Phase 16)

tewip incident sentry-issue.json

Reads a Sentry payload, an OpenTelemetry span or a plain stack trace, finds the test that should have caught it, and answers with one of four verdicts: reproduced, passed (the test ran and did not catch it, which is worse news), failed differently, or never ran. It does not say "probably covered".

What did we decide about this last time? (Phase 17)

tewip recall "the login test that keeps flaking"

Every correction your team ever gave Tewip is kept. Ask, and it answers with your own decision from then, and says it was yours - not its. It never acts on a correction by itself.

From the ticket to the run (Phase 18)

tewip trace --only "SHOP-12"

Joins the test plans Tewip wrote to the tests that cover them and the runs that attempted them. A scenario counts as covered only when a real test can be named, and passing only when a real run attempted it; everything else says what is missing. No model, no cost.

Is this work actually done? (Phase 24)

tewip done --diff main...HEAD            # one verdicttewip done --prove --strict              # also break the code, and fail the build unless readytewip done --json done.json              # a sealed verdict that can be checked later

Tewip can answer six questions about a change. A team reviewing an agent's pull request has to run six commands and assemble the answer themselves - which in practice means they run none and merge on a green tick. done is the assembled answer:

# Is this work done? Not ready
| Question                                   | Answer      || Is anything failing?                       | not checked || Is the changed code tested?                | yes         || Can the tests in this change fail?         | no          || Would the tests catch a bug in this code?  | no          || Is what was asked for covered?             | not checked |

That is a real run on a change where all three tests passed. One of them was assert.ok(true), and three deliberate changes to the new code went unnoticed by the suite. CI was green; the work was not done.

Nothing is judged here. Every answer comes from a layer with its own measured accuracy — the triage rules, vouch, prove, trace — and this only puts them in a fixed, published order: what is broken, then what cannot be believed, then what is missing. The same change always gets the same verdict.

"Cannot say" is a real answer, and it is never rounded up to ready. A verdict needs the two questions nothing can substitute for — is anything failing, and does anything actually test this code — to have been answered. If Tewip has never seen a test result for the project, it says so and refuses to approve; the first version of this answered "Ready, with 3 not checked", which is an approval assembled out of shrugs. Every verdict also ends with what it says nothing about, including the one thing no tool here can know: whether the change does what was intended.

With --json the verdict is sealed: editing not-ready to ready in the file makes verification fail, so a verdict that travels into a ticket or a release note can be checked rather than trusted. It is also an MCP tool, so an agent can ask whether its own work is done before saying that it is.

Teach it your house rules (Phase 27)

tewip standards                        # what this project has taught Tewiptewip standards --diff main...HEAD --strict

Tewip knows a lot that is true of software in general and nothing that is true of your company. Every IT department has its own rules — "never drop a column in the release that stops writing to it", "locators use data-testid", "no test may sleep" — and a tool that cannot be taught them is a tool that argues with the house.

A standard is a markdown file in .tewip/standards/:

---description: A fixed wait hides a race instead of fixing it.applies-to: tests/, e2e/forbid: /waitForTimeout|sleep\(/ because a fixed wait passes by luck and fails in CI---
Wait for the thing you are actually waiting for — an element, a response, a state —never for a number of milliseconds.

The split is the point. The forbid and require lines are checked and enforced, with the offending line quoted and your own reason printed beside it. The prose below is guidance: Tewip carries it into whatever it writes or fixes, and quotes it in reports — but it is never counted as checked and never reported as kept. A team that believes an unenforceable rule is being enforced is worse off than a team with no tool at all, because they have stopped watching for it themselves. A rule Tewip cannot parse is reported as unusable rather than silently dropped.

Once written, the rules appear everywhere the work is judged: in tewip review, in the pull request comment, and as a question in tewip done — "Does it keep this project's own standards?" — which answers no and names the rule. The guidance goes into the prompt when tewip write drafts a test, so what comes back is in your conventions rather than Tewip's.

What will this migration do to a live database? (Phase 26)

tewip schema --diff main...HEAD      # or: tewip schema migrations/0002_drop_nickname.sqltewip schema --strict                # fails the build on a change that breaks the running version

The most expensive change in a pull request is usually not a test — it is a migration. A column dropped while the previous deployment is still selecting it. An index built without CONCURRENTLY, blocking every write to the busiest table. A NOT NULL added to a populated table. These are known, documented, and a tool can name every one of them from the text of the migration.

1 of 1 migration file(s) read. 1 change(s) would break the running version or destroy data
## Breaks the version that is still running (1)- drops the column nickname from orders — migrations/0002_drop_nickname.sql:1  - Instead: deploy code that no longer selects or writes the column, then drop it in a later    migration. During a rolling deploy the old version is still running and will fail on a column    that is gone
## Code that still uses what this takes away (1)- orders.nickname is still named in 1 file(s): app/orders.py

That last section is the part no SQL linter does: it searches your own code for what the migration takes away. "This drops users.nickname, and four files still read it" is a different sentence from "dropping a column is risky", and it is the one that stops the outage.

It reads SQL, Django, Rails and Alembic migrations, judges only the forward path (a rollback step contains the mirror image of the change, so reading it says a migration that creates a table destroys one), and stays quiet when the team already did the safe thing — atomic = False, algorithm: :concurrently, NOT VALID, postgresql_concurrently=True. When it cannot read a migration it says so rather than passing it, and "read and nothing found" never looks like "not read".

Tried on real projects. 200 Zulip migrations: 199 read, 19 changes that break the running version or destroy data, each sampled finding correct when read against the file — including a DROP COLUMN buried in raw SQL inside a Python data migration. 60 Mastodon migrations: it caught a change_column that rewrites a table, in a migration whose name says it only adds one.

What it does not know, and says so: your table sizes and how busy the database is, so it reports what a statement does — rewrites the table, scans every row, blocks writes — and leaves the duration to the person who knows the data. In CI the findings go into the pull request comment, and anything that breaks the running version enters the evidence bundle as a refusal: a passing test suite does not verify a migration.

Run only the tests that could notice this change (Phase 25)

tewip pick --diff main...HEAD     # or: tewip pick src/pricing.jstewip pick --list                 # just the files, for piping into your runner

A forty-minute suite is a suite people stop running. Vendors sell this as a prediction - a model guesses which tests matter - and a guess is the wrong shape for the job, because the cost of being wrong is a bug reaching production and nobody can audit a guess.

Here, skipping a test is a claim that it could not have noticed the change, and a claim needs evidence. A test runs when it imports a changed file, reaches one through another module, is edited by the change itself, reads the repository at run time (a guard that scans every source file can be broken by any file), or has failed recently — an unknown is never a skip. Everything else is left out with the reason printed beside it.

It refuses to narrow at all when the change touches dependencies, build or test configuration, shared setup or fixtures; when the suite drives a browser, because what a browser test exercises is not written in its imports; or when a changed file cannot be traced to any test, since code is reachable in ways an import does not show.

Measured by breaking the code (eval/pick-safety.ts): make a real mutation, ask pick what could notice it, then run the whole suite to find out which tests really catch it. A failure is dropping a catching test.

Those two rows are the point. On a layered codebase it runs under a tenth of the suite and keeps every test that would have caught the bug; on a monolith where every test imports the package front door it says there is nothing to skip, rather than inventing a saving. It is also an MCP tool, so an agent can ask what to run before running anything.

In CI, mode: pick runs before your tests and hands the workflow the files to run:

- id: pick  uses: hmamut39/tewip@main  with: { mode: pick }        # needs fetch-depth: 0 on actions/checkout- run: npx jest ${{ steps.pick.outputs.tests }}  if: steps.pick.outputs.narrowed == 'true'- run: npx jest  if: steps.pick.outputs.narrowed != 'true'

Whatever it leaves out is written into the job summary with the reason beside it, so "why did CI not run that test" is answered by the run itself. When it will not narrow safely, narrowed is false and tests is empty - so a workflow that ignores the flag still runs everything, which is the safe default.

Would your tests catch a bug? (Phase 23)

tewip prove src/pricing.js              # or --diff main...HEAD for what a change touchedtewip prove src/pricing.js --strict     # exits non-zero when something goes unnoticed

Coverage says a line ran. It does not say anybody checked it. prove settles that by execution: it breaks your code in small, deliberate ways - a boundary moved by one, a condition inverted, an and that became an or, a returned flag flipped, a pattern loosened - runs the tests that reach that file, and reports every change none of them noticed.

4 change(s) were made to your code and the covering tests were run against each. 3 went unnoticed.
- line 2: a boundary moved by one  - was:    if (total >= 100 && isMember) return 0.2;  - became: if (total > 100 && isMember) return 0.2;- line 9: a sign reversed  - was:    return total - total * off;  - became: return total + total * off;

Both of those are real: the tests used 150 and 10 and never the boundary itself, and the test calling finalPrice asserted nothing at all. Neither gap is visible in a coverage report, because both lines were covered.

It refuses more often than it reports, and the refusals are the reason the reports are worth reading:

• Your file is put back exactly as it was, byte for byte, line endings included, in a finally - and the restore is verified, not assumed. A restore that did not work is an error, not a shrug.
• Nothing that can hang is touched. Loop headers are never changed: a flipped comparison in a while does not fail a test, it runs forever.
• A red suite proves nothing. Every covering test is run untouched first. Ones that do not pass are set aside by name, and if none pass, it says so and stops - a test that was already failing would otherwise appear to "catch" every change.
• It checks that your tests actually load the file. If breaking the file outright does not fail a single test, they are reading an installed copy or a build output, and it says that instead of reporting a page of holes that do not exist. This caught a real case on the first Python project it met, where import humanize resolved to a different checkout entirely.
• Strings and comments are never changed, because changing a message is not a bug a test should be expected to catch.

It follows imports, so a file reached through another module is still proved - in a layered codebase that is most of them. It needs a unit test framework (jest, vitest, mocha, node --test, pytest, go test, maven, gradle, dotnet), calls no model, and costs nothing but time. It is also an MCP tool, so a coding agent can ask whether the tests it is relying on would have stopped its own mistake.

Could these tests ever fail? (Phase 22)

tewip vouch tests/            # or a file, or the whole projecttewip vouch tests/ --strict   # exits non-zero, for a merge gate

Most tests in a pull request are now written by an agent, and the question that decides whether they are worth anything goes unasked: could this test ever fail? Coverage counts a test that checks nothing. CI goes green on it. A reviewer skims something plausible and approves it.

vouch reads tests somebody else wrote and answers per test, quoting the line it rests on. It finds tests that leave an expectation unfinished (expect(value); with no matcher - it reads exactly like a check), tests that compare a value with itself, tests that catch and discard their own failure, tests that never run, and tests that compare no value at all. No model, no cost.

It is also an MCP tool, so a coding agent can ask about the tests it just wrote before claiming a change is covered.

Measured on 5,448 tests in 8 public projects across 5 languages (express, axios, chalk, requests, click, gorilla/mux, cobra, gson): 19 tests were called unable to fail, and all 19 were correct when read against the files - one unconditional skip in psf/requests, eighteen @Ignore methods in gson.

Two things it refuses to do, which is why the list is worth reading:

• It will not guess. A test whose checking happens inside a helper it cannot follow is reported as undecided, by name, never as worthless. A wrong accusation about somebody's test costs more than a missed one.
• It will not overclaim. A test with no assertion still fails when the code throws - in axios, a test that compiles a TypeScript fixture and runs it asserts nothing on purpose. Those are reported separately as "compares no value", not as broken, and they do not trip --strict.

Recall, measured by execution (eval/vouch-recall.ts): mutate a source file, record which tests catch which mutation, remove the last statement of the ones that provably caught something, and run it all again. A test that caught a mutation before and catches nothing now has provably lost its check - a label that owes nothing to vouch's own patterns. On 17 such cases across seven source/test pairs in two projects, vouch named 12 (70.6%), and the five it did not name still hold a real assertion, so it is right about those too. Nothing that still caught a mutation was wrongly accused.

A goal instead of a verb (Phases 19 and 21)

tewip pursue "keep the checkout flow green"tewip pursue "keep the checkout flow green" --act

Give Tewip a goal and it says what it would do next, and why, from what it can actually see. The order is fixed, published and testable - not chosen by a model: a real bug first, then the environment, then flakiness, then anything failing it cannot explain, then a test that cannot fail, then a coverage gap, and only then is the goal worth attesting. Deciding the same state twice gives the same answer.

With --act it carries the decision out, and this is where the refusals matter most:

• It never does the work itself. Each action is an existing command that already proves what it changes - write keeps a test only when it passes and fails when broken.
• Two actions are on the allowlist: write a missing test, and attest a green goal. Everything else is refused by name. It will not work around a real bug.
• One action, then stop. There is no unattended loop.
• Everything it did or refused goes to .tewip/actions.jsonl, with the run that justified it.
• It will not repeat itself: the same attempt is refused until a new run gives it new evidence.

Where it has been tried

Shadow runs are how the agent is tried on public projects without touching them: npm run harvest -- <source>, then node scripts/shadow.ts <source> [--publish your/private-repo].

How it compares (September 2026)

Other tools cover parts of this job. This table is what each is known for from its own public material, and where triage-agent differs; it is not a benchmark of them.

What it does not have, and they do: dashboards and hosted history (it keeps history in the Actions cache), and years of production use.

Smart merge gate

With gate: real-failures, the triage step fails the build only when a failing test needs someone: a real bug, a changed selector, a test-data problem, or anything undecided. Failures that a deterministic rule or a person classified as flaky or environment do not block. AI-only verdicts still block, because the model is the less reliable half.

      - name: Tests        continue-on-error: true      # let the gate decide the outcome        run: npx playwright test     # or pytest, jest, mvn test, go test ...      - name: triage-agent        if: always()        uses: hmamut39/tewip@main        with:          gate: real-failures

Measured on 2,296 labelled real failures from five projects, the gate lets 1,823 failures through and none of them is a real bug, a changed selector or a test-data problem; 84% of all flaky and environment failures (1,823 of 2,160) stop blocking merges. Read the zero with care: the first measurement let one real bug through (a new test on a feature branch hit a server error from new backend code), and the server-error rule was then changed to step back when a test has never passed. The zero is measured on the same data that exposed the gap, so it is optimistic; the weekly job keeps checking it on new data. The counts are also step outputs (blocking, flaky, environment) for later steps to use.

How it works

• reporters/triage-reporter.ts is a custom Playwright reporter. It runs alongside list. For every attempt with status failed or timedOut, it captures the error, stack, duration, retry, trace, screenshot and error-context.md paths, run id and git SHA. It runs the rule engine on each failure and appends the records, each with its diagnosis, to data/triage.jsonl. It also appends one summary line per run to data/runs.jsonl, which records how many times each test ran.

• engine/ is the phase-2 rule engine. It is deterministic: the same failure and history always give the same answer. It classifies a failure into one of the five root causes (REAL_BUG, LOCATOR_DRIFT, TIMING, ENV, TEST_DATA) with a confidence and evidence. If no rule can decide, it returns UNKNOWN with confidence 0, along with what each rule saw, for phase 3.

• engine/llm/ + engine/trace/ make up the phase-3 LLM layer. It only sees failures the rules left UNKNOWN. It reads trace.zip (the final DOM, failed requests, console errors, test steps) and error-context.md (the page snapshot and the failing code line, with comments stripped). It builds a short structured summary, not raw logs, and asks the model for a strict JSON answer that must be one of the five categories. The answer is checked again locally. If the call fails or the answer is invalid, the failure stays UNKNOWN. engine/pipeline.ts runs rules and then the LLM, and the reporter, CLI and eval all use it.

• eval/ holds the ground-truth labels and evaluate.ts, which prints the phase-3 accuracy metric. eval/harvest/ imports real CI runs from public repos. See eval/README.md.

• engine/decide.ts is the agent's DECIDE step. It turns each diagnosis into a next action following the autonomy table in ROADMAP.md: fix a locator or a fixed wait, re-run and notify, fix the test setup, file a bug, or escalate to a human. Low confidence (below 0.5) always escalates. Code fixes are only agent-eligible above 0.85. Nothing is executed yet: acting comes with Phase 5.

• outlets/ holds the Phase 4 views. Every view renders the same TriageItem: diagnosis, next action, confidence, data source and evidence. npm run triage writes them as markdown under data/reports/<dataset>/ (gitignored).

  Role	View	Scope
  Developer	pr-comment.md: which failures are likely caused by this change, and why	each failed run
  SDET	sdet-board.md: every failure grouped by next action	each failed run
  DevOps / SRE	infra.md: environment failures grouped by what broke, retry recovery, one grouped alert	each failed run
  Business / UAT	release.md: READY / WAIT / NOT READY in plain words	each failed run
  Senior / principal engineers	quality.md: flakiness hotspots, recurring patterns, test-design debt ranked by CI time lost	whole window
  Architects	architecture.md: fragility by area, single commits that broke many suites, failing dependencies	whole window
  Leads / managers	digest.md: areas whose failure rate grew between the first and second half of the window	whole window

• scripts/history.ts groups the records by test and prints failure rates. A test is flagged SUSPECTED_FLAKY when its failure rate is between 20% and 80% and its error messages vary.

• scripts/diagnose.ts runs the engine over every collected failure and prints the phase-2 metric (coverage), labelled with the dataset it came from.

• tests/ contains 5 tests that fail on purpose, served offline from fixtures/. They only exist to exercise the pipeline. Numbers computed on them are not product metrics.

data/ is gitignored because the collected data stays local. Each run writes its artifacts to test-results/<runId>/, so attachment paths from older runs keep working.

Rules (engine/rules.ts)

The first matching rule, in this order, decides the category. If a lower-priority rule disagrees, the confidence drops by 0.1.

History is point-in-time: each failure is judged only with runs up to and including its own run, never later ones. A test's first-ever failure therefore has no history, and history-based rules decline it.

Usage

Requires Node >= 22.18. Node runs the .ts scripts directly.

Auto-fix and the drift lab (Phase 5, in progress)

engine/autofix/ is the ACT + VERIFY loop for LOCATOR_DRIFT. It finds the failing locator in the spec, then tries up to 3 role-based replacements taken from the failure-time page. It re-runs that one test after each attempt, keeps a change only if the test passes, and otherwise restores the file. These safety rules are built into the code:

• It only edits files inside a sandbox directory, never application code.
• It refuses tests with no expect() after the broken call, because a pass there would prove nothing.
• It acts only on drift diagnosed by a deterministic drift rule (locator-drift or locator-drift-strict) above 0.85. On real CI data the AI alone called real bugs "drift" at 0.88–0.96, so AI-only drift goes to a person.
• Every decision is logged with its reason, and it never pushes or merges.

npm run lab runs the whole loop against lab/app. Version v1 is what the tests were written for. Version v2 is a release with 6 renamed or re-shaped elements and 5 traps: removed features with look-alike elements, a wrong price, a disabled button, a server outage, and a test without assertions. The ground truth is in lab/cases.json. The current result is 6/7 drifted locators fixed and verified, 0/6 false fixes. This is synthetic data and not a product metric. On real labelled Gutenberg failures the rules now reach 15 auto-fix-eligible drift cases with 0 wrong, each suggesting exactly the locator the developers themselves wrote.

Learning from people (LEARN)

The agent's PR comment ends with one line telling people how to correct it. A reply like /triage TEST_DATA #1 the fixture user has no saved card is read on the next run, stored with the run history, and applied to every later failure of that test that fails the same way. The view then shows the category as corrected by a person, with their name and reason as the evidence, and keeps what the agent had said next to it, so a disagreement stays visible rather than being quietly overwritten.

Two limits are deliberate:

• A correction settles the category, never a code change. Someone writing LOCATOR_DRIFT has not given the agent a replacement locator that a re-run has proved, so an SDET still writes that fix.
• It applies to the same test failing the same way. A different failure of that test is a different question, and the agent answers it itself.

What a run costs

Every triage run, the CLI, the eval and the CI job summary end with one line: how many model calls were made, how long they took, how many came free from the cache, the tokens used, and the cost in dollars. Each call is priced by its own model from OpenAI's published prices (cached input at the cached rate); a team with its own price sets TRIAGE_LLM_PRICE_IN/OUT, and a model with no known price is reported as such, never guessed. A run is cheap because the deterministic rules answer most failures and only what they cannot settle reaches the model. Measured example (JupyterLab, 41 real failures): the rules decided 34 of them, 6 went to the model, and those 6 calls took 30 seconds and about 31,000 tokens in total.

Security

The agent reads text that a pull request's author controls (test names, error messages, traces) and it can change what blocks a merge, so it is built for untrusted input:

• Corrections come only from people with write access (owner, member or collaborator). On a public repository a stranger's /triage comment is ignored, so nobody outside the team can wave a real failure past the merge gate.
• Only the agent's own comment defines what #1 means. A numbering map posted by anyone else is ignored, and the map's fields are encoded so no test name can break out of it.
• Text from a test run is made inert in comments: @mentions do not notify anyone, links and images show as plain text, and HTML is escaped.
• The AI never has the last word on anything risky. A crafted error message could try to talk the model into an answer, but AI-only verdicts never let a failure through the gate and never authorise a code change; fixes need a deterministic rule's match and a passing re-run.
• It never merges, never edits application code, and keeps collected data in the Actions cache, not in the repository. The OpenAI key is optional and only ever read from a secret.

Known issues (found on real data)

• Drift and real bugs are hard to tell apart (improving). Rules-5 reads Playwright's strict-mode errors: when a locator like name: 'Edit' starts matching several elements, the error already lists them, and the one named with the whole word is the element the test means. On the fresh set (Sep 1–3) drift is 16/20 = 80% (16/23 = 70% on the labels before a labelling flaw was corrected, see eval/README.md), real bugs called drift 1 of 29, and 15 drift cases would now be auto-fixed, each suggestion identical to the developers' own fix. On an unseen week (Aug 20–26, 473 labels) drift is 3/3 and the agent would still have made 0 automatic changes. The remaining misses have no usable page data: the error names no locator at all.
• Playwright does not always write a page snapshot. For some failures (timeouts inside frames) error-context.md holds only the error and the test source, so the similarity rule is blind. Rebuilding the page from the trace DOM does not help: on real data, real bugs score as similar as drift (0.80–0.96), so it gives the AI noise rather than signal (it lowered held-out accuracy from 86.1% to 81.3% when tried).
• Expected server errors (partly fixed). Tests that deliberately provoke server errors used to be read as ENV. The model is now told when a test's name says it exercises error handling (prompt llm-4).
• Views can't tell pull-request branches from the main branch yet. Records don't store the branch, so regressions inside unmerged PRs count as product bugs in the architecture view and the digest.
• Some recurring flakes are misread. Flaky tests that also fail on other branches are misclassified (0/22 on the held-out set), and TEST_DATA and LOCATOR_DRIFT are not yet measured on real data.

Environment variables (you can put them in .env, which is gitignored):

• OPENAI_API_KEY: turns the LLM layer on. Without it, only the rules run.
• TRIAGE_LLM=off: turns the LLM layer off even when a key is set.
• TRIAGE_LLM_MODEL (default gpt-5.4-mini) and TRIAGE_LLM_REASONING (default low): choose the model and its reasoning effort.
• TRIAGE_LLM_CACHE=off: skips the response cache in data/llm-cache.jsonl. With the cache on, an unchanged request is answered from the cache for free.
• TRIAGE_LLM_MAX_CALLS: at most this many model calls per run. Further failures keep the rules' answer and say so, instead of running up an unbounded bill on a huge failed run.
• TRIAGE_LLM_PRICE_IN / TRIAGE_LLM_PRICE_OUT: your own price per million input / output tokens, overriding the published prices built in for OpenAI's models. For a model without a built-in price, set them to see a cost; otherwise the run says the price is unknown.
• CI_RUN_ID: used as the run id. If it is not set, the run id is based on a timestamp.
• GIT_SHA or GITHUB_SHA: stored as the record's gitSha. If neither is set, gitSha is left empty.

Data leaving the machine: with the LLM layer on, the summary of each UNKNOWN failure is sent to OpenAI. That summary includes the error text, the page snapshot, failed request URLs (without query strings) and console errors. Nothing is committed to git.
