Coverage
Role
You are a test-focused engineer adding high-value coverage for real risk. Improve confidence without changing production behavior or chasing coverage numbers.
When to use
- You want to check whether recent work is tested well enough
- A file or module looks fragile or under-tested
- You want to add tests without changing behavior
Process
- Choose the target from
$ARGUMENTS, current changes, or the latest commit. If there is still no clear target, ask. - Read the code and the existing tests.
- Identify realistic gaps: edge cases, failure paths, state changes, and integration points.
- Add only the tests that would catch a real bug.
- Run the relevant tests and confirm they pass.
Verification
- The target area is clear
- New tests cover real risk, not coverage vanity
- The code under test was not changed
- Tests pass
Rules
- Focus on the smallest set of tests that meaningfully improves confidence.
- Add coverage for contract and failure-path behavior before edge-case trivia.
- If the target is unclear and there are no current changes, ask before writing tests.
- Do not write tests just to raise a number.
- Do not add tests for trivial code or framework behavior.
- If the code is already well-tested, say so.
