Unit Testing

Security-first dependency management methodology with batch remediation, policy-driven compliance, and automated enforcement. Use when security vulnerabilities exist in dependencies, dependency freshness low (outdated packages), license compliance needed, or systematic dependency management lacking. Provides security-first prioritization (critical vulnerabilities immediately, high within week, medium within month), batch remediation strategy (group compatible updates, test together, single PR), policy-driven compliance framework (security policies, freshness policies, license policies), and automation tools for vulnerability scanning, update detection, and compliance checking. Validated in meta-cc with 6x speedup (9 hours manual to 1.5 hours systematic), 3 iterations, 88% transferability across package managers (concepts universal, tools vary by ecosystem).

Master TDD orchestration with multi-agent coordination, strict red-green-refactor enforcement, automated test generation, coverage tracking, and >90% coverage quality gates. Coordinates tdd-python, tdd-typescript, and test-generator agents. Use when implementing features with TDD workflow, coordinating multiple TDD agents, enforcing test-first development, or when user mentions 'TDD workflow', 'test-first', 'TDD orchestration', 'multi-agent TDD', 'test coverage', or 'red-green-refactor'.

Browser automation using Playwright MCP. Navigate websites, fill forms, click elements, take screenshots, and extract data. Use for web browsing, form submission, web scraping, or UI testing. NOT for static content (use curl/wget).

Apply Bootstrapped AI Methodology Engineering (BAIME) to develop project-specific methodologies through systematic Observe-Codify-Automate cycles with dual-layer value functions (instance quality + methodology quality). Use when creating testing strategies, CI/CD pipelines, error handling patterns, observability systems, or any reusable development methodology. Provides structured framework with convergence criteria, agent coordination, and empirical validation. Validated in 8 experiments with 100% success rate, 4.9 avg iterations, 10-50x speedup vs ad-hoc. Works for testing, CI/CD, error recovery, dependency management, documentation systems, knowledge transfer, technical debt, cross-cutting concerns.

Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes

Evaluate LLM outputs with multi-dimensional rubrics, handle non-determinism, and implement LLM-as-judge patterns. Essential for production LLM systems. Use when testing prompts, validating outputs, comparing models, or when user mentions 'evaluation', 'testing LLM', 'rubric', 'LLM-as-judge', 'output quality', 'prompt testing', or 'model comparison'.

Specialized testing for React applications using TanStack ecosystem (Query, Router, Table, Form) with Vite and Vitest. Use when testing React + TanStack apps, mocking server state, testing router, or validating query behavior. Triggers: 'TanStack testing', 'React Query testing', 'test TanStack', 'mock query', 'router test'.

Validate methodology effectiveness using historical data without live deployment. Use when rich historical data exists (100+ instances), methodology targets observable patterns (error prevention, test strategy, performance optimization), pattern matching is feasible with clear detection rules, and live deployment has high friction (CI/CD integration effort, user study time, deployment risk). Enables 40-60% time reduction vs prospective validation, 60-80% cost reduction. Confidence calculation model provides statistical rigor. Validated in error recovery (1,336 errors, 23.7% prevention, 0.79 confidence).

Grey Haven's comprehensive testing strategy - Vitest unit/integration/e2e for TypeScript, pytest markers for Python, >80% coverage requirement, fixture patterns, and Doppler for test environments. Use when writing tests, setting up test infrastructure, running tests, debugging test failures, improving coverage, configuring CI/CD, or when user mentions 'test', 'testing', 'pytest', 'vitest', 'coverage', 'TDD', 'test-driven development', 'unit test', 'integration test', 'e2e', 'end-to-end', 'test fixtures', 'mocking', 'test setup', 'CI testing'.

Systematic testing methodology for Go projects using TDD, coverage-driven gap closure, fixture patterns, and CLI testing. Use when establishing test strategy from scratch, improving test coverage from 60-75% to 80%+, creating test infrastructure with mocks and fixtures, building CLI test suites, or systematizing ad-hoc testing. Provides 8 documented patterns (table-driven, golden file, fixture, mocking, CLI testing, integration, helper utilities, coverage-driven gap closure), 3 automation tools (coverage analyzer 186x speedup, test generator 200x speedup, methodology guide 7.5x speedup). Validated across 3 project archetypes with 3.1x average speedup, 5.8% adaptation effort, 89% transferability to Python/Rust/TypeScript.

Use when testing Rails applications - TDD, Minitest, fixtures, model testing, mocking, test helpers

Generates and updates the latest app changelog based on git history since the last version tag.

Analyze WebAssembly test (WAST) files to debug compilation issues and create regression tests. Use when the user asks to debug or analyze WAST test failures, investigate compilation bugs in wasmoon, or when encountering test failures in spec/*.wast files. Triggers include "analyze wast", "debug wast", "wast bug", or references to specific .wast test files.

Comprehensive Chrome DevTools automation for performance testing, Core Web Vitals measurement (INP, LCP, CLS), network monitoring, accessibility validation, responsive testing, and browser automation. Uses Chrome DevTools Protocol via MCP to provide professional-grade web application testing, debugging, and analysis capabilities including performance tracing, HAR export, device emulation, and multi-page workflows.

Emacs Lisp development with modern tooling and best practices. USE WHEN writing Emacs configuration, developing packages, testing, linting, publishing to MELPA/ELPA, or working with Emacs Lisp code.

Disciplined TDD workflow enforcing red-green-refactor cycle and the "iron law" of no production code without failing tests first. USE WHEN user wants to write tests first OR implement new feature with TDD OR fix bugs with test coverage OR explicitly requests TDD approach. Enforces systematic test-first development with verification at each step.

Creates isolated git worktrees with smart directory selection and safety verification for parallel development. USE WHEN starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace OR before executing implementation plans OR working on multiple branches simultaneously OR need clean test environment. Creates isolated workspaces sharing the same repository.

Multi-LLM orchestration implementing the 5-stage coding workflow: Example Analysis → Hypothesis → Implementation → Debug Loop → Recursive Improvement. Based on "Towards a Science of Scaling Agent Systems" (Kim et al., 2025): - Centralized Consult architecture (Claude orchestrates, others advise) - Measured coordination (avoid MAS overhead in tool-heavy stages) - Tests-first selection (Poetiq pattern, not voting) Use when: Debugging complex issues, analyzing unfamiliar code, refactoring, or any task that benefits from diverse LLM perspectives with verification.

Go development best practices and patterns. USE WHEN writing Go code, designing Go projects, working with Go tools, testing, or Go package development.

Rust development best practices and patterns. USE WHEN writing Rust code, designing Rust projects, working with Cargo, testing, or Rust package development.
