What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps engineers and teams scope, plan, and implement testing work by exploring coverage, strategy, and edge cases, turning ambiguous testing needs into prioritized, actionable test plans and optional spec artifacts.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Exploration & Clarification: Use Feynman echo, targeted questions, and the Zero-Fog checklist to restate requirements and confirm scope before design.
- Codebase Investigation: Map existing test structure and coverage, locate untested paths, surface flaky tests, and identify hidden complexity that needs testing.
- Strategy Comparison & Recommendations: Compare unit vs integration vs E2E approaches, recommend mocking and test data strategies, and sketch tradeoffs between coverage and maintenance cost.
- Deliverables: Produce coverage maps, edge-case matrices, mocking strategies, prioritized task lists, test implementation steps, and optional spec files for immediate handoff.
- Use Case: For a new backend service, run discovery to generate a prioritized plan covering unit and integration tests, identify E2E spikes, and produce a checklist for CI integration.
Quick Start
Explore testing needs for the new auth service by mapping current coverage, identifying missing edge cases, and recommending a prioritized implementation plan.
