Excerpt

Bisect-Aware Instrumentation

Overview

Instrument code to support efficient git bisect operations by producing deterministic pass/fail signals and concise runtime summaries. This skill helps create robust test scripts that work reliably with git bisect run, handling edge cases like flaky tests, build failures, and non-deterministic behavior.

Core Workflow

1. Understand the Regression

Before instrumenting, clarify:

What behavior changed? (bug introduced, performance regression, test failure)
What is the "good" commit? (known working state)
What is the "bad" commit? (known broken state)
How to reproduce the issue? (test command, manual steps)

2. Create Bisect Test Script

Generate a test script that returns proper exit codes for git bisect:
