Grade curated individual tests for readiness, A-F quality and improvements. ALWAYS USE FOR: grade tests, review only a named test, per-test readiness or quality bands for supplied methods, bodies, file spans or bounded PR diffs, including existing tests. Return Pass/Failed/Uncertain/Not applicable; unresolved/empty scopes omit grades. Compose read-only per-test evidence. Polyglot. DO NOT USE FOR: suite audits (test-engineer/test-anti-patterns), concrete fix/feature detection proof…
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
# Grade Tests Assess a curated list of test methods and produce a compact, PR-comment-friendly report. The primary result is one of **Pass**, **Failed**, **Uncertain**, or **Not applicable**; an A-F quality grade remains secondary diagnostic information. The skill **does not discover tests on its own** — the caller (typically a PR automation workflow or a human reviewer holding a specific list) provides the tests or a bounded diff to assess. After Step 0 admits a bounded scope, enforce these grading invariants: - With production context, **load `test-gap-analysis` by name once before scoring**, in `per-test-read-only` caller context. Read its owned composition reference; do not compute mutation evidence from this grading rubric or run its standalone workflow. Report N/A / unverified only when the dependency, reference, or required context is actually unavailable. - Any reported mutation inference must use **Likely killed (inferred)** or **Candidate survivor (unverified)**, even when explained in prose. - Apply only the rubric below, not extra heuristics such as a duplicate-test penalty. Do not use sibling tests to alter the individual assessment. …

How to install
mdr add dotnet/skills/grade-tests@sha256:56a352f916befea2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.3b4ec85, 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.
