When NOT to use agent-skills
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid if your team prefers manual coding of tests over AI-assisted generation, as this tool significantly automates that process.
- Do not use if the project strictly limits dependencies on external platforms for security or control reasons, given its integration with a cloud testing service.
