When to Use This Skill
| Use this skill when... | Use test-tier-selection instead when... |
|---|---|
| Asking strategic "how should we test X?" questions | Mechanically picking unit vs integration vs E2E for a change |
| Designing the test approach for a new feature | Running the actual tests (use test-run, test-quick, test-full) |
| Diagnosing flaky-test root causes | Setting up a fresh project's test infrastructure (use test-setup) |
| Reviewing pyramid balance or coverage gaps | Triaging concrete failing-test output (use test-analyze) |
Context
Explicit command to consult the test-architecture agent for strategic testing decisions.
Use when:
- Creating tests for NEW features
- Test strategy needs adjustment
- Coverage gaps identified
- Flaky tests detected
- Framework selection questions
Topics
| Topic | What it covers |
|---|---|
coverage | Analyze gaps, recommend high-value tests to write |
strategy | Review overall test architecture and pyramid |
framework | Recommend testing tools for tech stack |
flaky | Diagnose and remediate flaky tests |
pyramid | Analyze test tier distribution |
new-feature | Design test approach for new functionality |
| (free text) | Custom question about testing |
Parameters
$1: Topic keyword or natural language question--context <path>: Focus analysis on specific directory
Behavior
1. Gather Project Context:
- Find test directories and structure
- Detect frameworks in use (pytest, vitest, playwright, etc.)
- Read coverage reports if available
- Check recent test failures
2. Delegate to test-architecture Agent:
- Provide gathered context
- Include specified topic
- Request actionable recommendations
3. Present Recommendations:
- Strategic advice
- Specific action items
- Offer to create issues/tasks
Examples
# Coverage analysis
/test:consult coverage
# New feature testing strategy
/test:consult new-feature --context src/auth/
# Framework decision
/test:consult "Should we add property-based testing?"
# Flaky test investigation
/test:consult flaky
# Custom question
/test:consult "How should we structure tests for our API endpoints?"Agent Delegation
This command delegates to the test-architecture agent with:
- Project test structure analysis
- Coverage data (if available)
- Specified topic/question
- Context path (if provided)
The agent will provide:
- Strategic recommendations
- Specific actionable items
- Trade-off analysis
- Implementation guidance
