Test gap analysis

Finds the behaviour that no test currently exercises and reports it as a list.

Installation

$ npx skills add dotnet/skills

The CLI's unit is the repository, so this installs everything in dotnet/skills, not test-gap-analysis alone. It writes into whichever agent directories it finds — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Zed.

Summary

Finds the behaviour that no test currently exercises and reports it as a list.

  • Reach for it when inheriting a service with a suite nobody trusts and no idea where the holes are.
  • Sits in Test — proving the change does what it claims — and finding the assertions that were never written.
  • Assumes .net.
  • Published by .NET team, who ship the thing it is about — a stronger claim than a well-regarded engineer having written something good.
  • Installing pulls the whole dotnet/skills repository: this catalogue lists 4 other entries from it, and the repo may hold more.

The agent itself

The full text lives with its publisher and changes when they change it. Read it there rather than here — a mirrored copy of somebody else's procedure goes stale silently, and this page would have no way of telling you.
