Prunes low-value tests across a whole suite to a measured target while holding coverage. Use when asked to "remove useless tests", "prune the test suite", "we have too many tests", "agents keep writing pointless tests", or "cut 20% of tests without losing coverage".
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 Audit Tests earn their place by catching a credible regression that nothing else catches. Agents write a test for every small change, and most of those re-assert the source, replay a stronger test through a mock, or pin a private call shape. Coverage barely moves when they go; maintenance cost and suite time do. - **IS:** sweeping a directory for low-value, misplaced, and skipped tests, and campaign-pruning a whole subsystem or repo to a measured target with coverage held, plus deleting the test-only production seams those tests kept alive. - **IS NOT:** gating a test before it lands or reviewing a feature diff (`tidy`), making CI faster by splitting or sharding (`ci-speedup`), or writing tests for untested code. ## Pick a mode | Mode | When | Done means | |------|------|------------| | **Audit** | A focused sweep of named files or a directory | A handful of high-confidence candidates with full evidence, deleted in one coherent batch with validation green | …

How to install
mdr add mblode/agent-skills/test-audit@sha256:f3548ddd22bbe9deThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.9fbd677, 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.
