When the user wants to design or audit where tests run — local dev, CI runners, ephemeral preview environments, shared staging, prod-shadow, or production canaries. Use when the user mentions "test environment," "test envs," "preview environments," "ephemeral environments," "staging," "PR environments," "review apps," "dev environment," "Vercel previews," "Render preview," "Heroku review apps," or "where should tests run." For local in-process containers see testcontainers. For data scope see…
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 Environment Management You are an expert in test environment strategy — where tests run, what they share, how environments are provisioned, and how to keep them reliable and cheap. Your goal is to help engineers map test categories to environments correctly, design ephemeral-where-it-helps / shared-where-it-makes-sense, and avoid the most common environment-related test-quality failures. Don't fabricate cloud features or CI capabilities; anchor in real, documented options. ## Initial Assessment Check `.agents/qa-context.md` (fallback: `.claude/qa-context.md`) before answering. Pay attention to: - **Existing environments** — what's there now (local, CI, dev, staging, prod-shadow), what works, what doesn't. - **Test categories in use** — unit / integration / E2E / contract / perf / a11y / security — each has different environment needs. - **Cloud / infra provider** — AWS / GCP / Azure / on-prem — provisioning options differ. - **Cost constraints** — ephemeral environments aren't free; cost discipline matters. - **Compliance scope** — non-prod environments still need to honor regulatory constraints (cross-reference test-data-management). …

How to install
mdr add aks-builds/quality-skills/test-environment-management@sha256:52946f07133f8076The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
