Garden the test suite by finding and removing redundant, vacuous, or implementation-coupled tests while preserving useful regression coverage. Use for test audits, test pruning, duplicate coverage, or reducing CI test cost. Supports focused cleanups and coordinated audit campaigns.
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
Reduce execution and maintenance cost while preserving meaningful failure
detection. Investigate aggressively; delete only with evidence. Retaining an
area after review is a valid result. This skill is self-contained; upstream
attribution is in [NOTICE.md](NOTICE.md).
## Choose the scope
- Focused cleanup: follow this entry point and read the
[candidate evidence guide](references/audit.md) before editing.
- Multiple owners, agents, or PRs: also read [CAMPAIGN.md](CAMPAIGN.md). Declare
whether the work is a targeted sweep or an exhaustive subsystem audit.
- Validation and cost claims: read [references/validation.md](references/validation.md).
- Paperclip commands, invariants, and delivery: read
[references/paperclip.md](references/paperclip.md) alongside repository instructions.
## Decision gate
For every proposed removal, answer:
1. Which observable contract and plausible regression do the assertions cover?
2. Which retained file/case detects that regression through the responsible
production code? Otherwise, why is the assertion vacuous or contract retired?
3. Does this candidate uniquely cover a transport, permission, lifecycle,
…
The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.f96a1e6, 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.
