Migrate Xunit To Xunit V3Migrates .NET test projects from xUnit.net v2 to xUnit.net v3. USE FOR: upgrading xunit to xunit.v3. DO NOT USE FOR: migrating between test frameworks (MSTest/NUnit to xUnit.net), migrating from VSTest to Microsoft.Testing.Platform (use migrate-vstest-to-mtp). For xUnit v3 MTP filter syntax (--filter-class, --filter-trait, --filter-query), also load migrate-vstest-to-mtp.microsoft/testfx1,027
Msbuild AntipatternsCatalog of MSBuild anti-patterns with detection rules and fix recipes. USE FOR: reviewing, auditing, or cleaning up .csproj, .vbproj, .fsproj, .props, .targets, or .proj files. Each anti-pattern has a symptom, explanation, and concrete BAD→GOOD transformation. Covers Exec-instead-of-built-in-task, unquoted conditions, hardcoded paths, restating SDK defaults, scattered package versions, and more. DO NOT USE FOR: non-MSBuild build systems (npm, Maven, CMake, etc.), project migration to SDK-style (microsoft/testfx1,027
Msbuild ModernizationGuide for modernizing and migrating MSBuild project files to SDK-style format. USE FOR: converting legacy .csproj/.vbproj with verbose XML to SDK-style, migrating packages.config to PackageReference, removing Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs in favor of auto-generation, eliminating explicit <Compile Include> lists via implicit globbing, consolidating shared settings into Directory.Build.props. Indicators of legacy projects: ToolsVersion attribute, <Import Project="$(MSBuildToolsPath)">, .csproj files microsoft/testfx1,027
Msbuild ServerGuide for using MSBuild Server to improve CLI build performance. Activate when developers report slow incremental builds from the command line, or when CLI builds are noticeably slower than IDE builds. Covers MSBUILDUSESERVER=1 environment variable for persistent server-based caching. Do not activate for IDE-based builds (Visual Studio already uses a long-lived process).microsoft/testfx1,027
Mtp Hot ReloadSuggests using Microsoft Testing Platform (MTP) hot reload to iterate fixes on failing tests without rebuilding. Use when user says "hot reload tests", "iterate on test fix", "run tests without rebuilding", "speed up test loop", "fix test faster", or needs to set up MTP hot reload to rapidly iterate on test failures. Covers setup (NuGet package, environment variable, launchSettings.json) and the iterative workflow for fixing tests. DO NOT USE FOR: writing test code, diagnosing test failures, runmicrosoft/testfx1,027
Platform DetectionReference data for detecting the test platform (VSTest vs Microsoft.Testing.Platform) and test framework (MSTest, xUnit, NUnit, TUnit) from project files. DO NOT USE directly — loaded by run-tests, mtp-hot-reload, and migrate-vstest-to-mtp when they need detection logic.microsoft/testfx1,027
Post Release ActivitiesSystematic activities that need to be performed after a release is done.microsoft/testfx1,027
Property PatternsMSBuild property definition patterns: conditional defaults, composition/concatenation, path normalization, trailing slash handling, TFM detection helpers, and property evaluation order. USE FOR: diagnosing and fixing MSBuild property definition issues in .props or .csproj files, reviewing and fixing shared property configuration anti-patterns, fixing DefineConstants or NoWarn being overwritten instead of appended, fixing unconditional property assignments that prevent project-level overrides, fimicrosoft/testfx1,027
Resolve Project ReferencesGuide for interpreting ResolveProjectReferences time in MSBuild performance summaries. Activate when ResolveProjectReferences appears as the most expensive target and developers are trying to optimize it directly. Explains that the reported time includes wait time for dependent project builds and is misleading. Guides users to focus on task self-time instead. Do not activate for general build performance -- use build-perf-diagnostics instead.microsoft/testfx1,027
Run TestsFor `dotnet test`: figures out which test platform (VSTest vs Microsoft.Testing.Platform) a project uses from `Directory.Build.props`, `global.json`, and `.csproj`, then picks the matching command syntax. USE FOR: running, filtering, or troubleshooting `dotnet test`; identifying the test runner/platform from project files; `--` separator rules on .NET SDK 8/9 vs 10+; choosing the right filter syntax for MSTest / xUnit / NUnit / TUnit (--filter, --filter-class, --filter-trait, --filter-query, --tmicrosoft/testfx1,027
Target AuthoringCanonical patterns for writing custom MSBuild targets. USE FOR: diagnosing and fixing custom target authoring anti-patterns, reviewing MSBuild target definitions for correctness, diagnosing broken SDK target chains across files (e.g., Directory.Build.targets silently redefining SDK targets), fixing targets that replace CompileDependsOn instead of extending it with $(CompileDependsOn), fixing query targets that return stale results due to Outputs vs Returns misuse, fixing missing Inputs/Outputs cmicrosoft/testfx1,027
Test Analysis ExtensionsProvides file paths to language-specific reference files for the test ANALYSIS skills (assertion-quality, test-anti-patterns, test-gap-analysis, test-smell-detection, test-tagging).

INVOKE when asked to audit, review, rank, or find problems in existing tests — "audit mymicrosoft/testfx1,027
Test Gap AnalysisPerforms pseudo-mutation analysis on production code in any language to find gaps in existing test suites. Use when the user asks to find weak tests, discover untested edge cases, check if tests would catch a bug, or evaluate test effectiveness through mutation-style reasoning. Analyzes production code for mutation points (boundaries, boolean flips, null/None/nil returns, exception/error removal, arithmetic changes) and checks whether tests would detect each mutation. Polyglot: .NET (MSTest/xUnimicrosoft/testfx1,027
Test Smell DetectionDeep-dive audit using the full testsmells.org 19-smell academic catalog for tests in any language. Every finding maps to a named, citable smell from the research literature (Assertion Roulette, Duplicate Assert, Mystery Guest, Eager Test, Sensitive Equality, Conditional Test Logic, Sleepy Test, Magic Number Test, etc.) with research-backed severity. Polyglot: .NET (MSTest/xUnit/NUnit/TUnit), Python (pytest/unittest), TS/JS (Jest/Vitest/Mocha/node:test), Java (JUnit/TestNG), Go, Ruby (RSpec/Minitmicrosoft/testfx1,027
Test TaggingAnalyzes test suites in any language and tags each test with a standardized set of traits (positive, negative, critical-path, boundary, smoke, regression, integration, performance, security). Use when the user wants to categorize, audit, or label tests with traits. Works with .NET (MSTest TestCategory / xUnit Trait / NUnit Category / TUnit Property), Python (pytest markers; unittest has no canonical tag syntax so report-only), TypeScript/JavaScript (Jest/Vitest test names, describe-block conventmicrosoft/testfx1,027
Writing Mstest TestsWrite new MSTest unit tests and fix existing MSTest code using MSTest 3.x/4.x modern APIs and best practices. USE FOR: write or create MSTest unit tests, fix or modernize MSTest assertions, better MSTest assertion than Assert.IsTrue, replace hard cast with MSTest type assertion, MSTest assertion APIs (IsInstanceOfType, Contains, ContainsSingle, HasCount, IsEmpty, IsNotEmpty, DoesNotContain, StartsWith, EndsWith, MatchesRegex, IsGreaterThan, IsInRange, IsNull), fix swapped Assert.AreEqual argumenmicrosoft/testfx1,027
