characterization-test-generator
From the author
Generates tests that capture current behavior of existing code before refactoring. Use when you need a safety net before AI-assisted refactoring or modifying legacy code.

aiqbench computes the trust score from public signals. It is not a security audit, so read a skill before you install it.

- generate-testscoco-research/cocoUse when asked to generate tests for a file, module or component, to raise coverage, or to bootstrap a suite for untested code. Detects the project's test framework and conventions first, then writes unit, integration and edge-case tests.Testing★ 961
- skill-creatoranthropics/skillsCreate new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.OfficialTesting★ 183.2K

- test-guardamElnagdy/guard-skillsReview generated or changed test code against universal testing rules before it ships. Best used reactively after an agent writes, edits, generates, or refactors tests, before presenting, committing, or merging them. Use for pytest (test_*.py, *_test.py), PHPUnit/Pest (*Test.php), Jest/Vitest (*.test.ts, *.spec.js), Go (*_test.go), files under tests/, __tests__/, or spec/, and review requests like 'write tests for X', 'add tests', 'test this', 'review these tests', or PR diffs containing tests. Can also guide test writing when explicitly invoked before the work. This skill is the quality gate that prevents AI-generated test bloat. DO NOT USE for production or implementation code review (use clean-code-guard), CI or test-runner configuration, running or debugging tests, or general architecture discussion.Testing★ 1.3K
