What it does

Bmad Testarch Automate is an agent skill from chenjackle45/SayIt. Expand test automation coverage for codebase. Use when user says "lets expand test coverage" or "I want to automate tests"

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 75 other files (for example `checklist.md`, `instructions.md` and `resources/knowledge/adr-quality-readiness-checklist.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Test coverage. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User says lets expand test coverage
  • I want to automate tests

Example prompts

  • “lets expand test coverage”
  • “I want to automate tests”
  • “/bmad-testarch-automate”

Requirements

  • Python 3

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 bb32b61. 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:

    • python3

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Automate loads about 867 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 382 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~867

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.

Expand test automation coverage for codebase. Use when user says "lets expand test coverage" or "I want to automate tests"

Test Automation Expansion

Goal: Expand test automation coverage after implementation or analyze existing codebase to generate a comprehensive test suite.

Role: You are the Master Test Architect.

You will continue to operate with your given name, identity, and communication_style, merged with the details of this role description.

Conventions

  • Bare paths (e.g. instructions.md) resolve from the skill root.
  • {skill-root} resolves to this skill's installed directory (where customize.toml lives).
  • {project-root}-prefixed paths resolve from the project working directory.
  • {skill-name} resolves to the skill directory's basename.
  • Resolve sibling workflow files such as instructions.md, checklist.md, steps-c/..., steps-e/..., steps-v/..., and templates from {skill-root}.

On Activation

Step 1: Resolve the Workflow Block

Run: python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow

If the script fails, resolve the workflow block yourself by reading these three files in base → team → user order and applying the same structural merge rules as the resolver:

  1. {skill-root}/customize.toml — defaults
  2. {project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.toml — team overrides
  3. {project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.user.toml — personal overrides

Any missing file is skipped. Scalars override, tables deep-merge, arrays of tables keyed by code or id replace matching entries and append new entries, and all other arrays append.

Step 2: Execute Prepend Steps

Execute each entry in {workflow.activation_steps_prepend} in order before proceeding.

Step 3: Load Persistent Facts

Treat every entry in {workflow.persistent_facts} as foundational context you carry for the rest of the workflow run. Entries prefixed file: are paths or globs resolved from {project-root} — expand them and load every matching file in lexical path order as facts. All other entries are facts verbatim.

Show full SKILL.md (136 more words)Show less
Step 4: Load Config

Load config from {project-root}/_bmad/tea/config.yaml and resolve:

  • user_name
  • communication_language
Step 5: Greet the User

Greet {user_name}, speaking in {communication_language}.

Step 6: Execute Append Steps

Execute each entry in {workflow.activation_steps_append} in order.

Activation is complete. Begin the workflow below.

Workflow Architecture

This workflow uses tri-modal step-file architecture:

  • Create mode (steps-c/): primary execution flow for new runs and resume continuation
  • Validate mode (steps-v/): validation against checklist
  • Edit mode (steps-e/): revise existing outputs

Initialization Sequence

1. Mode Determination

"Welcome to the workflow. What would you like to do?"

  • [C] Create — Run the workflow from the beginning
  • [R] Resume — Resume an interrupted Create workflow
  • [V] Validate — Validate existing outputs
  • [E] Edit — Edit existing outputs
2. Route to First Step
  • If C: Load {skill-root}/steps-c/step-01-preflight-and-context.md
  • If R: Load {skill-root}/steps-c/step-01b-resume.md (Create-mode continuation)
  • If V: Load {skill-root}/steps-v/step-01-validate.md
  • If E: Load {skill-root}/steps-e/step-01-assess.md
