generate-tests SKILL.md skillA

generate-tests from coco-research/coco is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add coco-research/coco/generate-tests@v0.1.0

Pins v0.1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when asked to generate tests for a file, module or component, to raise coverage, or to bootstrap a suite for untested code. Detects the project's test framework and conventions first, then writes unit, integration and edge-case tests.

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

# Generate Tests — Comprehensive Test Suite Generator

Generate complete test coverage for any file, component, or module. Covers unit tests, integration tests, edge cases, error handling, and mocking — adapted to whatever testing framework the project uses.

**Use when**: you want tests generated for a file or component, need to improve test coverage, want edge case coverage, need mocks for external dependencies, or want to bootstrap a test suite for untested code.

---

## When This Skill Is Activated

Follow every step below. Do NOT generate tests without first analyzing the project's testing setup and the target code.

---

## Step 1: Detect the Testing Setup

Before writing any tests, discover the project's testing conventions:

1. **Find the test framework** — Check `package.json` (dependencies/scripts), or config files:
   - `jest.config.*` / `jest` key in `package.json` → Jest
   - `vitest.config.*` → Vitest
   - `cypress.config.*` → Cypress
   - `playwright.config.*` → Playwright
   - `pytest.ini` / `pyproject.toml` [tool.pytest] → pytest
   - `go.mod` → Go testing
   - `Cargo.toml` → Rust (#[cfg(test)])
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add coco-research/coco/generate-tests@sha256:a8ea060969fabce3

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
