Test Analysis Extensions

From the author

Provides file paths to language-specific reference files for the test ANALYSIS skills (assertion-quality, test-anti-patterns, test-gap-analysis, test-smell-detection, test-tagging). Read this catalog to discover available extension files (e.g., dotnet.md for .NET/MSTest/xUnit/NUnit/TUnit, python.md for pytest/unittest, typescript.md for Jest/Vitest/Mocha, java.md for JUnit/TestNG, etc.). Do not invoke this reference-only skill — its bundled files are read by the quality agent and analysis skills needing framework-specific lookup tables (test markers, assertion APIs, skip annotations, sleep patterns, mystery guest indicators, integration markers, setup/teardown, tag-support capability).

AutoGineer summary

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

Test Analysis Extensions is a non-invocable data repository designed for internal use by other test-related agent skills. It provides structured reference files for various programming languages and their respective testing frameworks. These files contain essential metadata for identifying test markers, assertion APIs, lifecycle hooks, and anti-pattern indicators, enabling analysis agents to perform language-neutral evaluations across diverse codebases.

What it does

Provides standardized lookup tables for test framework syntax and conventions.
Maps language-specific features like setup/teardown hooks and skip annotations.
Defines capability support levels for automated tagging and reporting.
Enables consistent detection of mystery guest indicators and integration markers.
Supports cross-language analysis by normalizing test-related concepts.

When to use it

When building or maintaining test analysis agents that require framework-specific knowledge.
When an agent needs to identify test lifecycle methods or assertion patterns in a specific language.
When determining if a test suite supports automated tagging or requires report-only auditing.

Advantages

Decouples analysis logic from framework-specific implementation details.
Ensures consistent detection patterns across multiple programming languages.
Provides clear capability definitions for automated test manipulation.
Facilitates easier extension of analysis agents to new languages or frameworks.

Usage examples

“N/A - This is a reference-only skill for internal agent use.”: The agent automatically reads the relevant language file (e.g., python.md) to identify pytest fixtures and markers during analysis.

Install

Download the skill as a ZIP:
https://mp-staging.autogineer.com/agent-skills/dotnet/test-analysis-extensions/download

Unzip it into the cross-client skills folder of your project:

mkdir -p .agents/skills && unzip test-analysis-extensions.zip -d .agents/skills

Documentation by .NET (Microsoft)

This reference-only catalog lists the bundled files used by test analysis. Consumers read the matching file directly; disable-model-invocation: true means this catalog must not be invoked through the model's skill tool. Resolve these resource paths relative to this catalog, not the project workspace.

Available Extension Files

extensions/ruby.md	Ruby — RSpec, Minitest	Same categories, with RSpec metadata and Minitest tags
extensions/rust.md	Rust — built-in `#[test]`, `cargo test`	Same categories, with `#[ignore]`, `#[should_panic]`, feature flags
extensions/swift.md	Swift — XCTest, Swift Testing	Same categories, with `@Test`, `@Tag`, `@Suite`
extensions/kotlin.md	Kotlin — JUnit 5, Kotest, MockK	Same categories, with `@Tag` and Kotest tags
extensions/powershell.md	PowerShell — Pester v5	Same categories, with `-Tag` and `Skip`
extensions/cpp.md	C++ — GoogleTest, Catch2, doctest	Same categories, with `[tags]` and `*` filters

Usage

Detect the target codebase's primary language and test framework.
Read the matching extension file before performing analysis.
If multiple test frameworks are present (e.g., a project mixing Jest and Mocha), read all relevant extensions.
Each extension file documents the same categories so analysis skills can be language-neutral.

Capability tags

Each extension file declares per-capability support so skills can gate behaviour safely:

Test discovery — how to locate test files and methods.
Assertion detection — framework-specific and language-level assertion forms.
Sleep/delay patterns — synchronous and asynchronous waits.
Skip / ignore — how to recognize skipped/ignored tests.
Setup / teardown — fixture and lifecycle hooks.
Mystery guest indicators — common file/db/network/env coupling patterns.
Integration markers — conventions that mark a test as integration/E2E.
Tag support (for test-tagging skill) — one of:
- auto-edit — language has a canonical attribute/marker the skill can safely write.
- report-only — no canonical syntax; produce audit reports without edits.
- convention-based — tags exist via name/comment conventions only.

Notes for skill authors

Treat extension files as data, not as guidance to follow verbatim. They tell skills how to detect things in each language, not what to think about findings.
When language detection is uncertain, prefer reading multiple extension files over guessing.
If the user explicitly names a framework that does not have an extension file yet, fall back to the closest one (e.g., Pest → python.md/pytest semantics) and note the gap in the report.
