SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of insufficient unit test coverage in software projects, which can lead to undetected bugs and reduced code quality, especially when working with AI coding assistants.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Test Generation: Discovers gaps in unit test coverage and generates new tests to fill them.
  • Infrastructure Provisioning: Sets up necessary testing frameworks, coverage tools, and Optimus agents if they are missing.
  • Conservative Approach: Only adds new test files and never modifies existing source code, ensuring safety and predictability.
  • Use Case: After initializing a new project with /optimus:init, run this Skill to automatically generate a comprehensive suite of unit tests for your codebase, significantly improving its test coverage and reliability.

Quick Start

Use the optimus:unit-test skill to improve unit test coverage for the entire project.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I improve unit test coverage for an existing codebase?

To improve unit test coverage, this Skill discovers testing gaps and generates new tests that adhere to project conventions. It provisions necessary infrastructure and operates conservatively by only adding new test files without refactoring existing source code.

Can I automatically generate unit tests with Vitest or Jest without modifying my source code?

Yes, you can automatically generate unit tests with Vitest or Jest without modifying source code. This Skill conservatively adds new test files to fill coverage gaps and flags untestable code for later review, ensuring safety and predictability.

What is the best way to set up test infrastructure for missing coverage tools?

The best way to set up test infrastructure is through automated provisioning. This Skill sets up necessary testing frameworks, coverage tools, and required agents if they are missing, providing a complete environment to generate new unit tests.

Does automated test generation flag untestable code?

Yes, automated test generation flags untestable code for later review. Instead of forcing modifications to existing source code, it conservatively isolates these areas and only adds new test files for the testable coverage gaps it discovers.

How do I find testing gaps in my software project?

You find testing gaps by running this Skill to analyze your existing code. It discovers gaps in unit test coverage, provisions any missing testing frameworks, and generates new tests that adhere to your project conventions to fill those gaps.

When should I not use automated unit test generation?

You should not use automated unit test generation when you need to refactor existing source code alongside testing. This Skill intentionally never modifies existing source code, strictly adding new test files and flagging untestable code for later review instead.
