# Execute Feedback Command

Run executable feedback loop on generated code: execute tests, analyze failures, fix, and retry.

## Instructions

When invoked, perform the executable feedback loop per REF-013 MetaGPT:

1. **Identify Target**
   - Load the specified file or recently modified code files
   - Determine test framework (jest, pytest, cargo test, go test, etc.)
   - Find existing tests or generate test stubs if none exist

2. **Execute Tests**
   - Run the specified test command (or auto-detect)
   - Capture full output (stdout, stderr, exit code)
   - Parse test results: passed, failed, errors, skipped

3. **Analyze Failures**
   - For each failing test:
     - Extract error type and message
     - Identify root cause (null check, type error, logic error, etc.)
     - Map to source code location
   - Check debug memory for similar past failures

4. **Apply Fixes**
   - Generate targeted fix based on root cause analysis
   - Apply fix to source code
   - Increment attempt counter

5. **Re-Execute**
   - Run tests again after fix
   - Compare results to previous attempt
   - If all pass: record success in debug memory, return
   - If still failing: repeat from step 3

6. **Escalate if Needed**
   - After max attempts (default: 3), escalate to human
   - Include: all test results, failure analyses, fix attempts
   - Save debug memory session

7. **Update Debug Memory**
   - Record execution session in `.aiwg/ralph/debug-memory/sessions/`
   - Extract learned patterns to `.aiwg/ralph/debug-memory/patterns/`
   - Update success metrics

## Arguments

- `[file-path]` - Source file to test (default: recently modified files)
- `--test-command [cmd]` - Test command to run (default: auto-detect)
- `--max-attempts [n]` - Maximum fix attempts (default: 3)
- `--coverage [%]` - Minimum coverage target (default: 80)
- `--no-fix` - Run tests only, report without fixing
- `--verbose` - Show full test output
