Use this skill when you need to select an executable regression test set from known test assets; triggers include regression test selection.
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
# Regression Test Selection ## When to Use - Use this skill when you need to select the smallest sufficient subset of existing tests that covers change risk and explain tradeoffs. - Use it to review an existing plan, result, or evidence set and produce actionable improvements. - Use it when context is incomplete but a bounded first pass is still valuable. ## Output Format Options - Default to Markdown for review, execution, and incremental refinement. - When the user requests tables, CSV, JSON, or ticket fields, preserve risk, evidence, priority, and boundary information. - For machine-consumed output, confirm the schema, enums, and required fields first. ## How to Use 1. Read and follow `prompts/regression-test-selection.md`, including its input contract, execution rules, minimum coverage, and output order. 2. Add only context that changes the decision: scope, environment, version, constraints, evidence, and success criteria. 3. Audit the input, then separate confirmed facts, working assumptions, and open questions. 4. Rank by risk and evidence strength, and produce an artifact that can be executed or reviewed directly. …

How to install
mdr add naodeng/awesome-qa-skills/regression-test-selection@sha256:f2a7d79827a0f0e3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260829.175e380, 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.
