| Bad | Good | Why |
|-----|------|-----|
| dependsOnMethods everywhere | Independent tests | Cascading failures |
| No groups | @Test(groups = "smoke") | Can't run subsets |
| Hard-coded test data | @DataProvider | Reusable |
| Priority ordering | Independent tests | Fragile |

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
