Gates whether a new test should exist and forces it to be efficient, protecting CI from low-value test bloat. Use before any change to what a pytest, Jest, or Playwright test asserts or sets up, down to one fixture or one assertion added to an existing block. Front-loads the value bar (every test must catch a realistic regression no existing test already catches; extend the nearest existing test before writing a new standalone one; test behavior through the public interface, not implementation details; collapse near-duplicates into parameterized cases) and the efficiency bar (deterministic, isolated, fast; pick the cheapest test level; Django TestCase over TransactionTestCase; no sleeps, no real network; no time bombs from absolute dates left to age against the real clock; no database a test never uses). Includes a "don't write it" decision tree. For fixing an existing flaky test use `/fixing-flaky-tests`; after this gate says a Playwright test is warranted, use `/playwright-test` for mechanics.
