testland/flaui-tests

Use for any task that writes, fixes or reviews UI tests for a Windows desktop app (WPF or WinForms) in C# or .NET, even a single test, including tests that click before the window is ready: FlaUI UIA2 and UIA3 packages, launching or attaching to the app, ConditionFactory locators by AutomationId, Retry waits and xUnit, NUnit or MSTest. For the WebDriver protocol use winappdriver.

Quality

Content

75%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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

A strong, highly actionable reference: executable code for every stage (launch, locate, interact, wait, run, CI) with a genuine error-recovery loop and a well-signaled one-level-deep reference file. The main weakness is token efficiency — version/date references and sections duplicating the description could be trimmed.

Suggestions

Remove or relocate time-sensitive version/date statements (e.g. "v5.0.0 released February 2025") to a clearly labeled history/deprecated section, keeping the body stable over time.

Trim the "When to use" section, which restates the frontmatter description almost verbatim — the description already gates invocation.

Condense the FlaUI-vs-winappdriver disambiguation prose to a two-line pointer since the description and sibling skill already cover the boundary.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly efficient (tables, dense annotated code), but includes unnecessary or trimmable material: time-sensitive version/date info ("v5.0.0 released February 2025"), a "When to use" section that largely restates the frontmatter description, and background prose on what UIA is. This matches anchor 3 ("mostly efficient but includes some unnecessary explanation or could be tightened") better than 4, which presumes only minor over-explanation.

3 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable, copy-paste-ready guidance throughout: Application.Launch/Attach/AttachOrLaunch/LaunchStoreApp, Retry.WhileNull with all parameters, WaitWhileBusy pairing after launch, a complete xUnit fixture, STA attributes per framework, and `dotnet test --logger "trx;..."` commands. Specific examples cover the common cases (login flow, smoke filter, CI), matching the 5 anchor; nothing is pseudocode.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

There is a clear Authoring → Running → Parsing results → CI sequence, and an explicit validation feedback loop ("Verify: run the suite and confirm it launches the app and passes. If a test fails with a NullReference or Retry timeout... open FlaUInspect to recheck the AutomationId, fix... then re-run"). Anchor 4 ("clear sequence with most checkpoints present; minor validation gaps") fits: the loop is a single brief paragraph and organization is topical rather than a stepwise checklist, so 5 is not yet matched.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The bundle is well-structured: the body keeps key examples inline and defers bulk detail to references/flaui-api.md (verified to exist), which is referenced twice with clear signals of its contents ("The equivalent ConditionFactory / PropertyCondition forms... are in references/flaui-api.md"; "Full windows-latest workflow: references/flaui-api.md") and is one level deep, pointing back to SKILL.md. Anchor 4 ("most content is appropriately placed; references mostly clear") fits; the ~350-line body (limitations, anti-patterns) could arguably be split further to reach anchor 5's ideal.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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

An exemplary description: concrete and comprehensive on capabilities, rich in natural trigger terms including a symptom-based trigger ("tests that click before the window is ready"), explicit about when to use it, and explicitly disambiguated from the closest sibling skill (winappdriver). No fluff or over-claims.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description lists multiple concrete, specific actions — "writes, fixes or reviews UI tests", "launching or attaching to the app", "ConditionFactory locators by AutomationId", "Retry waits" — with comprehensive coverage of the skill's surface including the UIA2/UIA3 packages and all three test frameworks. It matches the 5 anchor ("multiple specific concrete actions; comprehensive coverage") rather than 4, which is reserved for coverage with minor gaps; no meaningful capability of the skill is left unmentioned.

5 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers both questions: what ("FlaUI UIA2 and UIA3 packages, launching or attaching to the app, ConditionFactory locators by AutomationId, Retry waits and xUnit, NUnit or MSTest") and when ("Use for any task that writes, fixes or reviews UI tests for a Windows desktop app... even a single test"). The explicit "Use for" trigger clause with concrete trigger phrases matches the 5 anchor; a score of 4 would require the when to be only implicitly or partially stated, which it is not.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

It covers the natural terms users would say: "UI tests", "Windows desktop app", "WPF", "WinForms", "C#", ".NET", "xUnit, NUnit or MSTest", plus the symptom phrasing "tests that click before the window is ready". This is comprehensive coverage including synonyms and tool-specific names; anchor 4 ("a few natural terms missing") does not apply since no common variation is absent.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

It carves out a clear niche (FlaUI, in-process .NET UIA testing for Windows desktop apps) and actively disambiguates the nearest competing skill: "For the WebDriver protocol use winappdriver". Trigger terms like WPF/WinForms/FlaUI/xUnit are unmistakably this skill's; minimal conflict risk, matching the 5 anchor rather than 4 ("minor overlap risk").
