test-suite-curation
From the author
Audit a whole regression suite and prune/restructure it with evidence: per-test coverage fingerprinting, AST near-duplicate clustering, CI-history mining for never-failing and flaky tests, prune decision rules (redundant/obsolete/low-value/keep), smoke/core/extended tiering by risk and defect-detection history, and a defensible "what we deleted and why" record. Deletion is destructive — quarantine and human sign-off are mandatory. Use when: "audit the test suite," "prune redundant tests," "find duplicate tests," "which tests can we delete," "restructure into smoke/core/extended," "is this test pulling its weight," "shrink the regression suite." Not for: Judging whether an individual test is WELL-WRITTEN (smells, assertions) — that is ai-qa-review. Healing one flaky test at runtime — that is test-reliability. Bulk selector regeneration after a UI refactor — that is selector-drift-recovery. Related: ai-qa-review, coverage-analysis, test-reliability, risk-based-testing, qa-project-context.

- test-auditpaperclipai/paperclipGarden the test suite by finding and removing redundant, vacuous, or implementation-coupled tests while preserving useful regression coverage. Use for test audits, test pruning, duplicate coverage, or reducing CI test cost. Supports focused cleanups and coordinated audit campaigns.Testing★ 106.8K
- quality-postmortempetrkindlmann/qa-skillsAnalyze escaped defects and test suite health through blameless postmortems. Covers bug pattern analysis, test suite health reviews, 5 Whys root cause analysis, process improvement cycles, and postmortem/retro meeting templates with action item tracking. Use when: "QA retro," "escaped bugs," "postmortem," "quality incident," "defect analysis," "improvement cycle." Not for: live release go/no-go decisions — use release-readiness. Not for ongoing metric dashboards — use qa-metrics. Not for reviewing existing test code quality — use ai-qa-review. Related: qa-metrics, test-reliability, test-strategy.Testing★ 208
- ai-qa-reviewpetrkindlmann/qa-skillsReview EXISTING test code for quality, smells, and testability issues. Detects test smells across six dimensions — readability, reliability, diagnostic value, design, AI-generated, and coverage — analyzes testability of application code, and backs the qualitative smells with mutation testing. Use when: "review my tests," "test quality audit," "test smells," "testability analysis," "are these tests any good." Not for: generating new tests — use `ai-test-generation`. Not for: testing AI features in your product — use `ai-system-testing`. Related: unit-testing, shift-left-testing, coverage-analysis, ai-test-generation.Testing★ 208
- test-reliabilitypetrkindlmann/qa-skillsRuntime per-test healing with evidence: multi-attribute selector healing, environment-aware diagnosis, flake classification, quarantine management, and confidence-scored auto-repair. Goes beyond simple locator fallbacks to cover action-level healing, data healing, and observable repair workflows. Use when: "flaky test," "test stability," "self-healing locator," "broken locator recovery," "unreliable test," "quarantine flaky test." Not for: bulk regenerating selectors after a planned UI refactor — use selector-drift-recovery (this skill heals ONE test at runtime; that one rewrites many tests offline). Not for: classifying/clustering CI failures into bug reports — use ai-bug-triage. Related: playwright-automation, selector-drift-recovery, ci-cd-integration, qa-metrics, ai-bug-triage.Testing★ 208
- audit-testsdzhng/skillsAudit whether tests earn their maintenance cost and which suite owns each contract. Use when pruning redundant tests, investigating implementation coupling or test-only production hooks, reviewing the value of proposed coverage, or auditing an entire subsystem. Use write-tests to implement the resulting test changes.Testing★ 1.4K
- qa-metricspetrkindlmann/qa-skillsDefine, track, and act on QA metrics: test coverage percentage, flakiness rate, defect escape rate, MTTR, test execution time trends, automation ROI, quality gates, and SLAs for test suites. Includes metric formulas, realistic targets by company stage, and the action to take when each metric goes red. Use when: "QA metrics," "test metrics," "quality KPIs," "test health," "flakiness rate," "defect escape rate." Not for: building the dashboard UI (Allure/Grafana) — use qa-dashboard; measuring coverage gaps and mutation score — use coverage-analysis. Related: qa-dashboard, coverage-analysis, ci-cd-integration, release-readiness, quality-postmortem.Testing★ 208
