audit-tests SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

audit-tests from dzhng/duet-agent is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add dzhng/duet-agent/audit-tests@git:20261002.7680dea

Pins git:20261002.7680dea in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Audit whether tests earn their maintenance cost and which suite owns each contract. Use when pruning redundant tests, investigating implementation coupling or test-only production hooks, reviewing the value of proposed coverage, or auditing an entire subsystem. Use write-tests to implement the resulting test changes.

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

# Audit Tests

Audit **independent proof**: what bug would escape if this test disappeared?
The result is a map of contracts to their surviving tests, with evidence for
what to keep, repair, combine, or remove. Fewer tests is not the objective;
less maintenance for the same or better confidence is.

[write-tests](../write-tests/SKILL.md) owns how to write and falsify a test.
This skill owns whether that test adds proof and where that proof belongs.
[review](../review/SKILL.md) owns closing out the resulting changes.

## Workflow

1. **Bound the audit.** Read the repository and scoped instructions, then pick
   a production responsibility. Find its tests, fixtures, shared suites, and
   CI selection rules. Record the starting revision, local changes, and test
   results before editing. Distinguish existing failures from checks that
   could not run. For a focused audit, choose a few substantiated candidates;
   for a subsystem sweep, use the completeness rules below.
2. **Trace the claim.** Read each candidate in full, including parameter rows,
   beside the production entry point and the code it reaches. Inspect callers,
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dzhng/duet-agent/audit-tests@sha256:25cf914e1acfcf4b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.7680dea, 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.
