Skill instructions
Code Testing Generation Skill An AI-powered skill that generates comprehensive, workable unit tests for any programming language using a coordinated multi-agent pipeline. When to Use This Skill Use this skill when you need to: - Generate unit tests for an entire project or specific files - Improve test coverage for existing codebases - Create test files that follow project conventions - Write tests that actually compile and pass - Add tests for new features or untested code When Not to Use - Running or executing existing tests (use the run-tests skill) - Migrating between test frameworks (use migration skills) - Writing tests specifically for MSTest patterns (use writing-mstest-tests) - Debugging failing test logic How It Works This skill coordinates multiple specialized agents in a Research → Plan → Implement pipeline: Pipeline Overview text ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ TEST GENERATOR │ │ Coordinates the full pipeline and manages state │ └─────────
