Create a new agent skill that provides guidance for proactively identifying tests that are potentially affected by code changes, to catch regressions before CI. Includes general principles (trace callers, check integration tests, check exact-output tests) and domain-specific rules (rule management changes should always trigger test_readme_example tests).

In #1527, the agent changed rule management logic but didn't run
test_readme_exampletests, which assert exact CLI output including rule selections. CI caught it instead.New skill
