Allure Agent Mode Setup

Use this skill when a project wants to adopt Allure agent-mode for test work and test reviews.

• If a command executes tests and its result will be used for smoke checking, reasoning, review, coverage analysis, debugging, or any user-facing conclusion, run it through allure agent. It preserves the original console logs and adds agent-mode artifacts without inheriting the normal report or export plugins from the project config.
• Use allure agent for smoke checks too, even when the change is small or mechanical.
• Only skip agent mode when it is impossible or when you are debugging agent mode itself.

Goal

Leave the project with:

• a root AGENTS.md that routes test work to docs/allure-agent-mode.md
• a project docs/allure-agent-mode.md guide
• enough Allure bootstrap guidance for the agent to continue, even if the project is not fully configured yet

Workflow

1. Check whether the project already emits Allure results or already has Allure configuration.
2. If Allure is missing, add or suggest the smallest viable install/config path for the project. Treat this as best-effort bootstrap, not the main acceptance path.
3. Create or update root AGENTS.md so test-related work points to docs/allure-agent-mode.md.
4. Create docs/allure-agent-mode.md from the bundled template and adapt only the parts that must be project-specific.
5. Keep the helper-command descriptions short and practical. Include allure agent latest, allure agent state-dir, allure agent select --latest / --from <output-dir>, and allure agent --rerun-latest / --rerun-from <output-dir> as small Helpful Commands entries so agents can recover the latest output directory, inspect where state is stored, inspect the review-targeted test plan, and rerun the same focused scope. Add one compact Advanced Reruns section that documents --rerun-preset, --rerun-environment, --rerun-label, and ALLURE_AGENT_STATE_DIR without turning the guide into a full CLI reference. Keep the verification section explicit that agents should print the run's index.md path after test execution.
6. Keep changes minimal and additive. Preserve unrelated project guidance in AGENTS.md.

Files To Use

• Project guide template: references/project-guide-template.md
• Root router snippet: references/root-agents-snippet.md

Guardrails

• Keep AGENTS.md short. It should route, not duplicate the whole guide.
• Keep helper-command notes short. Prefer one-line descriptions over a growing command catalog.
• Do not invent project-specific metadata conventions unless the repo already uses them.
• Do not create persistent output or expectations paths in the project guide. Those are per-run temp artifacts.
• If the project already has better Allure instructions, merge carefully instead of overwriting them.
