Convert .NET tests from NUnit 3/4 to MSTest v4 while preserving VSTest or MTP. Use for replacing NUnit/NUnit3TestAdapter packages, Test/TestCase/ TestCaseSource/Values attributes, constraint assertions, SetUp/TearDown, OneTimeSetUp, SetUpFixture, FixtureLifeCycle, TestContext, categories, retries, timeouts, and NUnit parallelization. Also use when a "convert NUnit to MSTest" request may already be migrated: inspect and report the no-op. Do not use for NUnit version upgrades, xUnit/TUnit…
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
# NUnit -> MSTest Migration Convert NUnit 3 or 4 tests to MSTest v4 without changing the target framework or test platform. A successful migration builds, discovers the same test cases, and preserves pass/fail, lifecycle, data, filtering, and concurrency semantics. ## Scope Use this skill only when the project contains NUnit packages or source and the user wants MSTest. If the project already uses MSTest and contains no NUnit tests, report that no framework migration is needed and make no changes. Do not combine this framework conversion with a target-framework upgrade or VSTest/MTP migration. Complete and verify one migration before starting another. ## Workspace Contract - Search the current working directory for projects and source; never look for user files under this skill's directory. - Classify the deliverable: "convert this project" means edit, build, and test; "give me a plan" means answer without editing. - Preserve the user's requested project scope. Shared props may be changed only when they own NUnit package or runner configuration for that scope. …

How to install
mdr add dotnet/skills/migrate-nunit-to-mstest@sha256:8325e081033a26e9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260909.e4c942d, 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.
