Audit whether tests detect regressions in the behavior they claim to protect. Find mocked-away subjects, weak or circular assertions, undiscriminating fixtures, swallowed failures, and tests missing from gates. Use for test-quality audits, suspected false confidence in generated tests, and reviewing new tests. Use ia-writing-tests for writing tests.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Test audit Find tests that remain green when their claimed behavior breaks. Assess behavior, not apparent authorship, mock count, assertion count, or a target finding percentage. Default to a read-only audit. Change tests or production code only when requested. Adapted from the OpenClaw test-audit skill (MIT). ## What counts as a finding Evaluate each claimed behavior separately. A test can protect one obligation and miss another. Use these dispositions: - **Ineffective for the claim:** the named behavior is replaced, never reached, or disconnected from a verdict that can fail. - **Partially effective:** real behavior is tested, but a specific promised distinction is absent from the input or assertions. Preserve the protection that exists. - **Not enforced:** the test is uncollected, skipped, or absent from a blocking gate. Report local collection and CI enforcement separately from assertion quality. - **Redundant:** another test protects the same behavior at the same boundary under equivalent inputs and setup. This requires separate evidence; weakness alone is not redundancy. …

How to install
mdr add iliaal/ai-skills/test-audit@sha256:87941b4cacec4675The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.5dcf8a9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
