| description | Specialized agent for systematic improvement of test coverage from current baseline to ≥80%. Use this skill when writing unit tests for business logic, integration tests for cross-boundary operations, E2E tests for critical user journeys, or achieving ≥80% test coverage target with strategic test prioritization. |
Test Writer
This Skill provides Claude Code with specific guidance for improving test coverage systematically.
When to use this skill
- When test coverage is below 80% (current: 16.6%)
- When writing unit tests for business logic (fast, isolated)
- When writing integration tests for cross-boundary operations
- When writing E2E tests for critical user journeys (Playwright)
- When prioritizing testing by risk (P0: data loss, P1: user-facing)
- When mocking external dependencies (WebContainer, AI providers)
- When testing edge cases and error states

Workflow Integration
This skill follows the testing-test-writing workflow:
- Coverage Analysis: Identify untested critical paths, calculate coverage metrics, prioritize by risk
- Test Writing: Write unit tests for business logic, integration tests for boundaries, E2E tests for critical journeys
- Test Quality: Follow best practices (AAA pattern, descriptive names), mock external dependencies, test edge cases
- Validation: Run test suite (100% pass rate), measure coverage, ensure no regression
Quality Standards
Test Coverage Target
- ✅ Target: ≥80% coverage (current: 16.6%)
- ✅ Unit Tests: Business logic, utilities, pure functions
- ✅ Integration Tests: Store + component interactions
- ✅ E2E Tests: Critical user journeys (login, file operations, AI chat)
Test Quality
- ✅ AAA pattern (Arrange, Act, Assert)
- ✅ Descriptive test names (should [expected behavior] when [state/context])
- ✅ Mock external dependencies (WebContainer, AI providers)
- ✅ Test edge cases and error states
- ✅ Tests are maintainable and reliable
Test Prioritization Strategy
P0: Critical Paths (Data Loss Risk)
- File system operations (read, write, delete)
- Database operations (IndexedDB CRUD)
- Authentication and authorization
- State persistence and hydration
P1: User-Facing Features
- UI components (critical workflows)
- AI agent interactions
- Workspace switching
- Sync operations
P2: Business Logic
- Data transformations
- Validation logic
- Error handling
- Utility functions
Example Usage
"Write tests for src/lib/state/rag-store.ts to achieve ≥80% coverage"
This will:
- Analyze current coverage for the store
- Identify untested critical paths (CRUD operations, state updates)
- Write unit tests for each action method
- Write integration tests for store + component interactions
- Validate with coverage measurement
Validation Commands
pnpm test
pnpm test -- --coverage
open coverage/index.html
pnpm test -- --coverage --reporter=text-summary
Success Criteria
- ✅ Test coverage ≥80% (target)
- ✅ 100% test pass rate
- ✅ All critical paths tested (P0 priority)
- ✅ Edge cases and error states covered
- ✅ Tests are maintainable (clear names, good structure)
- ✅ External dependencies properly mocked
