test-tagging SKILL.md skillA
test-tagging from dotnet/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add dotnet/skills/test-tagging@git:20261009.e191d40Pins git:20261009.e191d40 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Classifies existing tests by standard traits and reports their distribution. USE FOR: tagging all tests with category attributes, categorizing/tagging/ labeling each test, compare happy vs error paths, audit the test mix, describe coverage shape by test type, or tag then verify the project builds. Read bodies when names mislead. Apply canonical attributes; otherwise report only. DO NOT USE FOR: requests owned by test-anti-patterns, coverage-analysis, crap-score, test-gap-analysis…
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
# Test Trait Tagging Analyze an existing test suite in any supported language and apply a standardized set of trait tags to each test method, giving teams visibility into their test distribution (positive vs. negative, critical-path coverage, smoke tests, etc.). > **Language-specific guidance**: Read the caller-provided or runtime-listed > `test-analysis-extensions` catalog and its matching language file. > The helper is reference-only, not an invocable skill. If absent, > continue with the built-in framework table below and report the limitation. ## When to Use - Auditing a test project to understand the mix of test types - Adding trait attributes to untagged tests - Generating a summary report of trait distribution across a test suite - Reviewing whether critical paths have sufficient coverage ## When Not to Use - Writing new tests from scratch (use `code-testing` for any language, or `writing-mstest-tests` for MSTest) - Running or filtering tests (use `run-tests` for .NET; equivalent native runners elsewhere) - Migrating between test frameworks - General quality, smell, flakiness, or assertion audits (use `test-anti-patterns` or the matching analysis skill) …

How to install
mdr add dotnet/skills/test-tagging@sha256:57ff114eaa15ca90The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.e191d40, 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.
