refine-tests SKILL.md skillA

refine-tests from nowsprinting/unity-coding-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add nowsprinting/unity-coding-skills/refine-tests@git:20261016.1a93bbe

Pins git:20261016.1a93bbe in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Reviews existing test code for conformance to the test-designing-guide and test-writing-guide, then applies the refinements. Use this skill when the user wants to review or refine existing test code so it follows the project's test design and writing conventions. Typically invoked as `/refine-tests <PATH>`.

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

Reviews existing test code for conformance to the test-designing-guide and test-writing-guide, then applies the refinements.

## Scope Check

This skill is for refining **existing** tests for conformance to the guides. If the request is out of scope, redirect:

- Adding tests for a new feature or spec change → use `/plan-feature` instead
- A failing test, or a test that verifies incorrect behavior → use `/fix-bug` instead

## Input

One or more file path arguments. Resolve them to the concrete set of test files to review before proceeding.

If no path argument is given, use `AskUserQuestion` to ask the user for the targets. Do not derive targets from `git status` — that would silently widen the scope beyond what was requested.

## Workflow
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nowsprinting/unity-coding-skills/refine-tests@sha256:042697f361cec438

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.1a93bbe, 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.
