name: design-tests
description: >-
  Use when tests have to be designed or written for a target — "write tests for X", "add coverage
  here", "what should I test", a new behaviour with no test yet, a bug that needs a reproduction
  test, a coverage gap someone wants closed, or a bare "write some tests" with nothing named. Works
  with a target given or none given. Not for judging tests that already exist (review-tests) and
  not for diagnosing one already-flaky failure (dotnet-flaky-test-diagnosis).

> The full procedure is in `SKILL.full.md` beside this file, unchanged — read it if the project has no
