About run-tests
run-tests is a skill for running unit, integration, or full test suites in Gradle projects. It runs tests inside the IDE when the repository is available there, otherwise uses the console, and collects results in a Haiku subagent report.
Key features
- 01Runs unit, integration, or all tests
- 02Targets Gradle subprojects
- 03Runs tests in IDE when available
- 04Falls back to console Gradle
- 05Collects results in a Haiku report
Use cases
- 01Run unit tests for a module
- 02Run integration tests with project setup
- 03Run all tests when IDE is unavailable

Test types and modules
Test types (extend as a project needs):
| Type | Meaning | Typical Gradle tasks |
|---|---|---|
unit | fast tests, no Spring/Docker | test |
integration | Spring + Testcontainers | testIntgr or integrationTest |
all | everything | test + testIntgr |
A module is a Gradle subproject; prefix its path onto the task
(:web:test). A module combines with a type on the fly — build that
configuration when first asked and remember it.
Pick the path
Probe FIRST, here, before loading either reference — so you read only the one you
need. Call steroid_list_projects (via ToolSearch if the tool schema isn't
loaded):
- It returns the repo you're in → IDE path: note that entry's
project_nameand followreferences/ide.md(runs tests inside the IDE, each in its own Run tab). Its steps start already knowing theproject_name— don't re-probe. - It fails, or the repo isn't listed → console Gradle path: follow
references/gradle.md(runs Gradle in the console) and tell the user you used the console fallback because the IDE wasn't reachable.
Both paths end by collecting the result in a Haiku subagent that returns the
references/report.md report and nothing else — keeping the long test/build
output out of the main context. Act on that report in the main model.
