unit-tests

Use when running unit tests in the VS Code repo. Covers the runTests tool, scripts/test.sh (macOS/Linux) and scripts/test.bat (Windows), and their supported arguments for filtering, globbing, and debugging tests.

Quality

Content

92%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A compact, highly actionable reference: lean prose, copy-paste executable command examples for every option, and a clear preferred-to-fallback structure with a flagged compilation precondition. The only weakness is that the >50-line single file does not progressively disclose any detail into separate bundle files.

Suggestions

Move the per-option command reference (the '--run', '--grep', '--runGlob', '--coverage', '--timeout' subsections) into a references file such as test-options.md, leaving SKILL.md as a concise overview that links to it for the full option catalog.

Add one concrete, executable runTests tool example (e.g. a real tool invocation with files and testNames parameters) so the preferred path is as copy-paste ready as the shell fallback.

Consider a short 'Prerequisites / verification' checklist at the top stating the VS Code - Build watch task must be running, so the compilation requirement reads as an explicit pre-run validation checkpoint rather than a closing note.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean: mostly executable commands and examples with minimal prose, assuming Claude knows Mocha/Electron. Non-obvious clarifications (e.g. that --runGlob targets compiled .js) earn their tokens, fitting the 'every token earns its place' anchor.

3 / 3

Actionability

Shell examples are copy-paste executable for every option with real paths, and the only non-executable example (runTests) is explicitly flagged '(conceptual)' so its flexibility is justified, matching the 'fully executable, copy-paste ready' anchor.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A single unambiguous task with a clear preferred (runTests) -> fallback (shell scripts) -> options structure, plus an explicit compilation precondition and stale-output pitfall. Operations are non-destructive, so the absence of a feedback loop does not cap the score.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Well-sectioned with easy navigation and a one-level cross-reference to the integration-tests skill, but at ~100 lines it is a single monolithic file with no content split into bundle files. The rubric's '<50 lines, sections-only is fine' exception does not apply and its rationale favors an overview pointing to detailed materials, so this fits the level-2 anchor better than level 3.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, concise description that names concrete actions and tooling, leads with an explicit 'Use when' trigger using natural language, and is clearly scoped to the VS Code repo. It cleanly answers both what the skill does and when to invoke it.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions ('filtering, globbing, and debugging tests') alongside specific tooling (runTests tool, scripts/test.sh, scripts/test.bat), matching the 'lists multiple specific concrete actions' anchor rather than the partial level 2.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both when ('Use when running unit tests in the VS Code repo') and what ('Covers the runTests tool... and their supported arguments for filtering, globbing, and debugging tests'), matching the anchor requiring explicit triggers for both.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

'running unit tests in the VS Code repo' is natural user phrasing a developer would actually say, with relevant variations present, satisfying the 'good coverage of natural terms' anchor.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Scoped to VS Code repo unit tests via specific named tooling, giving it a clear niche distinct from the integration-tests skill and unlikely to trigger for the wrong skill.
