Use when the tests pass but the test code itself has gone bad — the same setup copied into several tests, names that describe the method instead of the behavior, near-duplicate test methods, or a class grown too large to read. Use it to clean that up without losing a single case of coverage.
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 Refactoring Catalog
Safe transformations for test code that preserve behavioral coverage while
improving readability, maintainability, and signal-to-noise ratio.
## When to Load
- After GREEN: tests pass, you notice duplication or unclear naming.
- During COMMIT & VERIFY: cleanup before commit, no new behavior.
- Reviewing test code that smells (long arrange, repeated setup, cryptic names).
## Hard Rule
**Every refactoring below is behavior-preserving.** Run the full test suite
before AND after. If a test turns red, REVERT — the refactoring was wrong.

## Catalog
### R1 — Extract Arrange Helper
**Smell:** Multiple tests repeat the same 5+ lines of setup.
**Transform:**
```csharp
// Before — duplicated in 4 tests
var driver = new DriverInfo(Age: 25, LicenseYears: 5);
var vehicle = new VehicleInfo(Type: "sedan", Age: 2);
var policy = new EligibilityPolicy();
// After — one helper, parameters for what varies
private static EligibilityPolicy CreatePolicy() => new();
private static DriverInfo ADriver(int age = 25, int licenseYears = 5) =>
new(Age: age, LicenseYears: licenseYears);
private static VehicleInfo AVehicle(string type = "sedan", int age = 2) =>

How to install
mdr add sebastiendegodez/skraft-plugin/test-refactoring-catalog@sha256:7082e0dbc091d7e3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260825.81319f4, 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.
