SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps developers quickly understand existing testing conventions within a project without needing to read through numerous full test files, saving significant time and cognitive load.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Convention Discovery: Identifies naming, structure, setup/teardown patterns, and framework usage.
  • Context Savings: Reduces the amount of test code that needs to be loaded into context.
  • Use Case: When starting to write tests for a new feature, use this skill to understand how existing tests are structured, what naming conventions to follow, and how mocks are handled.

Quick Start

Delegate test pattern detection to a lightweight agent by invoking the test-pattern-detector.

FAQPage Schema
How do I understand existing test conventions in a codebase quickly?

To understand test conventions quickly, you can use a lightweight agent to analyze test file patterns such as naming, structure, setup, teardown, and framework usage. This samples representative files to provide a concise summary, saving context and reading time.

What is the best way to analyze test file structure and mocking patterns?

The best way to analyze test file structure and mocking patterns is to delegate detection to a lightweight agent that samples representative test files, identifying setup, teardown, and mocking conventions to provide a concise summary.

How do I find out what testing framework a project uses without reading every file?

To find out what testing framework a project uses without reading every file, delegate test pattern detection to a lightweight agent that samples representative test files to summarize framework usage and conventions.

Can I reduce context usage when reviewing test patterns for code refactoring?

You can reduce context usage when reviewing test patterns for code refactoring by using an agent to sample test files and summarize naming, structure, and mocking conventions, minimizing the amount of test code loaded into your environment.

Does test pattern detection work for discovering setup and teardown conventions?

Yes, test pattern detection works for discovering setup and teardown conventions by analyzing representative test files and summarizing their structural patterns, framework usage, and mocking strategies.

When do I need to detect test file conventions?

You need to detect test file conventions when starting to write tests for a new feature and wanting to understand how existing tests are structured, what naming conventions to follow, and how mocks are handled without reading numerous files.
