Code Testing Agent — Agent Skill by .NET (Microsoft)

From the author

Legacy compatibility alias for the code-testing skill. Do not self-activate for user requests and do not treat this name as a custom agent. When invoked explicitly by older instructions, load code-testing and follow it instead.

— the description by .NET (Microsoft)

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

This skill serves as a compatibility layer for legacy system calls. It ensures that requests originally targeting the code-testing-agent are correctly redirected to the current code-testing skill without introducing additional processing layers or agent interpretations.

What it does

Redirects legacy invocations to the current code-testing skill
Maintains backward compatibility for older system instructions
Prevents redundant agent activation layers

When to use it

When an older system or script explicitly calls the code-testing-agent name
To ensure continuity in automated workflows that have not yet been updated

Advantages

Ensures seamless transition for legacy integrations
Maintains consistent execution logic by delegating to the primary skill

Usage examples

“Run code-testing-agent on my project.”: The system identifies the alias and automatically routes the request to the code-testing skill to perform the requested task.

Install

Download the skill as a ZIP:

Documentation by .NET (Microsoft)

Legacy Code Testing Alias

This skill preserves explicit calls that still use the former code-testing-agent name. The public custom agent is test-engineer; the model-facing implicit skill is code-testing.

Invoke the code-testing skill with the original user request.
Follow that skill's workflow without adding another interpretation layer.
