What it does

Bmad Testarch Test Review is an agent skill from bmad-code-org/bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise. Review test quality using best practices validation. Use when user says "lets review tests" or "I want to evaluate test quality"

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 25 other files (for example `checklist.md`, `instructions.md` and `resources/test-review.example.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA. The repository describes itself as: Test Architect Full BMad Method Enhancement.

When your agent uses it

  • User says lets review tests
  • I want to evaluate test quality

Example prompts

  • “lets review tests”
  • “I want to evaluate test quality”
  • “/bmad-testarch-test-review”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Resolve the Workflow Block
  2. Execute Prepend Steps
  3. Load Persistent Facts
  4. Load Config
  5. Greet the User
  6. Execute Append Steps
  7. Mode Determination
  8. Route to First Step

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a0313f4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv
    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv and npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Bmad Testarch Test Review loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 705 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 705 words (~1,488 tokens).

“Goal: Review test quality using a comprehensive knowledge base and best-practices validation.”
