System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Characterization tests capture the actual current behavior of code before refactoring, providing a safety net so AI-assisted changes don't introduce regressions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Document current behavior for legacy or untested code before making changes.
  • Phase-driven methodology: discover, classify, generate, and verify tests to form a regression suite.
  • Suitable for refactoring, code modernization, and onboarding to new codebases.

Quick Start

Describe the target Swift module you want characterized and run this skill to generate a characterization test suite that documents current behavior.
