Install the test-audit skill

A skill is a folder. Copy it into your agent's skills folder and the agent loads it when the task matches its description. 

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git /tmp/openclaw
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/openclaw/.agents/skills/test-audit ~/.claude/skills/test-audit
available in every project

In the Claude apps, zip the folder and upload it from the Skills settings. The folder on GitHub

Test Audit

  • Authoring gates every new/changed test.
  • Audits: remove low-value proof in coherent owner batches; never chase deletion counts.
  • Whole-subsystem campaign: read CAMPAIGN.md first.

Authoring gate

Before adding test, answer:

boundary. Another layer needs distinct transport/lifecycle risk. Extend tables/shared fixtures; consolidate repeated setup.

  1. Protected observable behavior, invariant, or independent contract?
  2. Credible regression that makes it fail?
  3. Why existing proof misses it? Each contract: one primary owner at strongest

Move proof to real boundary instead.

  1. Export, flag, wrapper, injection hook with no production caller needed?

unavailable baseline proof.

  • Use boundary and cost guide.
  • Regressions must fail pre-fix for intended reason, pass after repair; report
  • One owner regression covers bug; never replay at every crossed layer.
  • Behavior-preserving refactors should not break test.

Junk patterns

implementation/call-shape assertions, duplicate contracts, test-only seams, subject-generated expected values, mocks supplying asserted behavior.

  • Reject self-comparisons, copied inventories, source greps,

never writes.

  • Fixtures must not fabricate owner receipts/order or claim persistence path
  • Negative controls must fail at intended guard; names must match exercised behavior.
  • Auditing candidates: use full checklist.

Retention bar

platform, default, prompt-byte, generated-language, package, release, architecture, observable-ordering contracts. Static/slow ≠ disposable.

  • Keep independent API, SDK, protocol, config, migration, storage, security,

user-facing contract.

  • Source inspection must survive identifier-only refactors and guard independent
  • Baseline failures may be bugs to repair, not tests to delete.

Audit and validation

inspect full owners/callers/history; record remaining proof before deletion.

  • Before audit edit: read candidate evidence and workflow;

Vitest checkouts; run owner/sibling proof + changed checks; then autoreview.

  • Delete obsolete production seams with tests; never optimize for deletion counts.
  • Follow proof policy; preserve active

follow-ups. Commit/push/land only with task authority.

  • Report causes, retained contracts, proof/cost, production versus test LOC,
