Review 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…
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
<objective> QA-focused code review that detects test smells, analyzes testability of application code, and identifies coverage gaps. A test that asserts `toBe(true)` and a 95%-coverage suite that only feeds happy-path input both look green and both hide bugs — this skill names the smell, cites the line, and converts "looks fine" into a mutation-score gate. **Before starting:** Check for `.agents/qa-project-context.md` in the project root. It contains test framework conventions, naming patterns, and project-specific quality standards that calibrate review feedback. </objective> --- ## Quick Route Three distinct entry paths. Pick the row, then jump to the named section. | Situation | Path | Jump to | |-----------|------|---------| | PR with changed test files | Run the changed files, score them, check the diff against the PR checklist | **Verification** → **PR Review Checklist** | | Whole suite needs a health pass | Quantify, sample, find the 3-5 systemic smells, propose lint/mutation gates | **Batch Audit Process** | | Application code, "why is this hard to test?" | Flag DI / side-effect / pure-function / interface problems with before/after | **Testability Analysis** | …

How to install
mdr add petrkindlmann/qa-skills/ai-qa-review@sha256:07a40a415272e346The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0, 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.
