Generates pytest test files for a Python codebase (or a targeted scope) that:.
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
## What this skill does Generates pytest test files for a Python codebase (or a targeted scope) that: - Target 80% line coverage as a floor, prioritising public API surface, business logic, and error branches. - Follow pytest naming conventions (`test_*.py` files, `test_` prefix functions and methods, `Test` prefix classes). - Use real implementations rather than mocked stubs wherever the real code is importable within the same process. - Mark tests that require live external services with `@pytest.mark.integration`. - Create or update `pyproject.toml` with the `[tool.pytest.ini_options]` block using `--import-mode=importlib`. - Detect project layout (`src/` vs flat) and configure accordingly. - Output a **Coverage Gap Report** after the tests listing what is covered, what is skipped, and why each skip is justified. ## When to use it - User asks to "write tests", "generate pytest tests", "add test coverage", or "test this module/function". - A new Python project has no `tests/` directory and no `pyproject.toml` pytest configuration. - A user wants to understand what is and is not covered after a test generation pass. …

How to install
mdr add marielynneblock/arcanum-artifex/create-pytests@sha256:2d29d1783c3c066fThe 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.
