Excerpt

Start your first response with the 🧪 emoji.

Absolute Deflake

Find tests that pass and fail nondeterministically, diagnose the root cause of each, and fix it — not by retrying or skipping, but by removing the source of nondeterminism. Output is evidence (failure rate per test) → cause → fix, verified by repeated runs.

Runs the shared engine in references/health-engine.md — read it for the DETECT → SCAN → TRIAGE → FIX → VERIFY → REPORT loop and the safety contract. This file covers only what's specific to flaky tests.
