What problem does it solve?
This Skill reduces inconsistent AI-assisted development outcomes by standardizing how teams test, mock, measure coverage risk, and validate real system behavior before declaring work complete.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Testing pyramid + mocking discipline: Ensures the right mix of unit, integration, and E2E tests while preventing false confidence from over-mocking.
- Coverage blind-spot awareness: Detects when instrumentation misses execution paths and provides remediation options.
- Live smoke verification gates: Defines when mocks are insufficient and how to validate raw SQL, container orchestration, user-switch deployments, and bulk ingest attribution with real runs.
- Audit-quality reporting rules: Forces test-count derivations from mechanical extractors and protects audit trails from operator memory drift.
Quick Start
Load the testing skill first, then apply the relevant fragment (for example live-smoke-gates) to run the required verification for your change type and document the verdict.
