+
+## Examples
+
+### Basic Flaky Test Detection
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests 100 times
+/test:flaky-detect
+
+# Run specific test 50 times
+/test:flaky-detect --test "user login" --iterations 50
+
+# Detect flakiness in integration tests
+/test:flaky-detect --pattern "**/*.integration.test.js" --iterations 200
+```
+
+### Advanced Analysis
+
+```bash
+# Deep root cause analysis with quarantine
+/test:flaky-detect --root-cause --quarantine --threshold 0.05
+
+# Parallel execution for faster detection
+/test:flaky-detect --parallel --workers 8 --iterations 500
+
+# Framework-specific detection
+/test:flaky-detect --framework playwright --pattern "**/*.spec.ts"
+```
+
+### CI/CD Integration
+
+```bash
+# CI mode with JSON output
+/test:flaky-detect --ci --report-format json
+
+# Fail build if >10% tests are flaky
+/test:flaky-detect --ci --fail-threshold 0.10
+
+# Generate Prometheus metrics
+/test:flaky-detect --report-format prometheus --output metrics.txt
+```
+
+### Historical Tracking
+
+```bash
+# Track flakiness over time
+/test:flaky-detect --historical --output flaky-report.html
+
+# Identify newly flaky tests
+/test:flaky-detect --historical --severity medium
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+### 1. Test Execution Phase (Context7-Verified)
+
+**Pattern from Context7 (/jest/retry-mechanisms):**
+
+```javascript
+// Jest retry configuration
+jest.retryTimes(5, { logErrorsBeforeRetry: true });
+
+// Playwright retry detection
+test('example', async ({ page }, testInfo) => {
+  if (testInfo.retry) {
+    console.log(`Retry attempt ${testInfo.retry}`);
+  }
+});
+```
+
+The command:
+1. Identifies all tests matching the pattern
+2. Runs each test multiple times (default: 100 iterations)
+3. Captures pass/fail status, duration, and error details
+4. Supports parallel execution for faster detection
+5. Handles timeouts gracefully
+
+### 2. Pattern Analysis Phase (Context7-Verified)
+
+**Pattern from Context7 (/testing-best-practices/flaky-detection):**
+
+Analyzes failure patterns:
+- **Intermittent**: Random pass/fail (most common flaky pattern)
+- **Degrading**: Increasing failure rate over time
+- **Timing-based**: Failures correlate with execution duration
+- **Environmental**: Failures specific to OS/environment
+- **Consistent failure**: Not flaky, truly broken
+
+Calculates:
+- **Flakiness rate**: `failures / total_runs`
+- **Timing variance**: Standard deviation of execution times
+- **Pattern confidence**: Statistical confidence in pattern detection
+
+### 3. Root Cause Identification (Context7-Verified)
+
+**Pattern from Context7 (/testing/root-cause-analysis):**
+
+Identifies root causes:
+
+#### Timing Issues (40% of flaky tests)
+```javascript
+// ❌ Fixed delays (flaky)
+await page.waitForTimeout(1000);
+
+// ✅ Conditional waits (reliable)
+await page.waitForSelector('.modal', { state: 'visible' });
+```
+
+#### Race Conditions (25% of flaky tests)
+```javascript
+// ❌ Race condition
+const user = await createUser();
+const post = await createPost(user.id); // May fail if user not committed
+
+// ✅ Proper sequencing
+await db.transaction(async (tx) => {
+  const user = await tx.createUser();
+  const post = await tx.createPost(user.id);
+});
+```
+
+#### External Dependencies (20% of flaky tests)
+```javascript
+// ❌ Real HTTP calls (flaky)
+const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/users');
+
+// ✅ Mocked calls (reliable)
+nock('https://api.example.com').get('/users').reply(200, mockData);
+```
+
+#### Test Isolation (10% of flaky tests)
+```javascript
+// ❌ Shared state
+let globalUser; // Leaks between tests
+
+// ✅ Clean state
+beforeEach(() => {
+  globalUser = null;
+});
+```
+
+#### Other (5% of flaky tests)
+- DOM manipulation timing
+- Memory leaks
+- Browser/environment-specific issues
+
+### 4. Flakiness Scoring (Context7-Verified)
+
+**Scoring Formula:**
+
+```
+Flakiness Score = (
+  (failure_rate * 0.50) +          // Failure rate (50% weight)
+  (timing_variance * 0.25) +       // Duration variance (25%)
+  (retry_count * 0.15) +           // Number of retries (15%)
+  (pattern_randomness * 0.10)      // Pattern randomness (10%)
+) * 100
+```
+
+**Severity Classification:**
+- **Low**: 0-10% (1-10 failures per 100 runs)
+- **Medium**: 10-25% (10-25 failures per 100 runs)
+- **High**: 25%+ (25+ failures per 100 runs)
+
+### 5. Recommendations Generation (Context7-Verified)
+
+**Pattern from Context7 (/testing/quarantine):**
+
+Based on root cause, suggests:
+
+#### For Timing Issues:
+```javascript
+// Add retry configuration
+jest.retryTimes(3, { logErrorsBeforeRetry: true });
+
+// Use proper waits
+await page.waitForSelector('.element', { state: 'visible', timeout: 5000 });
+```
+
+#### For External Dependencies:
+```javascript
+// Mock external calls
+import nock from 'nock';
+
+beforeEach(() => {
+  nock('https://api.example.com')
+    .get('/users')
+    .reply(200, mockData);
+});
+```
+
+#### For Test Isolation:
+```javascript
+// Transaction-based cleanup
+afterEach(async () => {
+  await db.$executeRaw`ROLLBACK`;
+});
+```
+
+### 6. Quarantine Management (Context7-Verified)
+
+For tests exceeding threshold:
+
+```javascript
+// Automatic quarantine by adding .skip
+describe.skip('Flaky test suite', () => {
+  test('flaky test', () => {
+    // Quarantined: High flakiness (35%)
+    // Root cause: External API dependency
+    // Issue: #1234
+  });
+});
+```
+
+Maintains metadata:
+```json
+{
+  "test-id": {
+    "quarantinedAt": "2024-10-21T10:00:00Z",
+    "reason": "High flakiness (35%)",
+    "rootCause": "external-dependency",
+    "issue": "https://github.com/user/repo/issues/1234"
+  }
+}
+```

+
+## Best Practices (Context7-Verified)
+
+Based on Context7 documentation from multiple sources:
+
+### 1. Detection Strategy
+- **Run regularly**: Daily or weekly scheduled runs
+- **Sufficient iterations**: Minimum 100 runs for statistical significance
+- **Parallel execution**: Use multiple workers for faster detection
+- **Target high-risk areas**: Focus on E2E and integration tests first
+
+### 2. Root Cause Analysis
+- **Always investigate**: Don't just quarantine, understand why
+- **Fix don't mask**: Address root causes, not symptoms
+- **Use mocks wisely**: Mock external dependencies, not business logic
+- **Improve waits**: Replace fixed timeouts with conditional waits
+
+### 3. Quarantine Management
+- **Temporary only**: Quarantine is not a permanent solution
+- **Track metadata**: Record why and when tests were quarantined
+- **Regular review**: Weekly review of quarantined tests
+- **Create issues**: Link quarantine to actionable issues
+
+### 4. CI/CD Integration
+- **Fail on threshold**: Set reasonable thresholds (10-15%)
+- **Monitor trends**: Track flakiness over time
+- **Alert on new flaky tests**: Catch regressions early
+- **Export metrics**: Feed into monitoring dashboards
+
+### 5. Team Process
+- **Don't merge flaky tests**: Block PRs that introduce flakiness
+- **Fix within sprint**: Prioritize flaky test fixes
+- **Share learnings**: Document common patterns and fixes
+- **Measure improvement**: Track reduction in flaky tests over time
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### False Positives
+
+If tests are marked flaky but aren't actually unreliable:
+
+- Increase `--iterations` for better statistical confidence
+- Check for environmental issues (CI vs local)
+- Verify test isolation (proper beforeEach/afterEach)
+- Review root cause analysis confidence scores
+
+### Performance Issues
+
+If detection takes too long:
+
+- Use `--parallel` with multiple workers
+- Reduce `--iterations` for initial runs
+- Target specific test patterns first
+- Use faster test framework (Vitest vs Jest)
+
+### No Flaky Tests Found
+
+If detection finds no flaky tests but you suspect issues:
+
+- Check test pattern matches your test files
+- Verify framework is correctly detected
+- Review test execution logs for errors
+- Try increasing iterations (some tests fail <1%)
