What it does

Mcaf Dotnet Mstest is an agent skill from managedcode/Storage. Write, run, or repair .NET tests that use MSTest. Use when a repo uses MSTest.Sdk, MSTest, [TestClass], [TestMethod], DataRow, or Microsoft.Testing.Platform-based MSTest execution.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/mstest.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires a .NET solution or project with MSTest packages; respects the repo's AGENTS.md commands first.

It sits in Agent Workflows. It works with .NET. The repository describes itself as: Storage library provides a universal interface for accessing and manipulating data in different cloud blob storage providers. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A repo uses MSTest.Sdk
  • Microsoft.Testing.Platform-based MSTest execution

Example prompts

  • “/mcaf-dotnet-mstest”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires a .NET solution or project with MSTest packages; respects the repo's `AGENTS.md` commands first.

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the nearest AGENTS.md and confirm scope and constraints.
  2. Run this skill's Workflow through the Ralph Loop until outcomes are acceptable.
  3. Return the Required Result Format with concrete artifacts and verification evidence.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5d32121. 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:

    • dotnet
    • rg

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Requires a .NET solution or project with MSTest packages; respects the repo's `AGENTS.md` commands first.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Mcaf Dotnet Mstest loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 572 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.9k

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.

MCAF: .NET MSTest

Trigger On

  • the repo uses MSTest
  • you need to add, run, debug, or repair MSTest tests
  • the repo is moving between VSTest and Microsoft.Testing.Platform

Value

  • produce a concrete project delta: code, docs, config, tests, CI, or review artifact
  • reduce ambiguity through explicit planning, verification, and final validation skills
  • leave reusable project context so future tasks are faster and safer

Do Not Use For

  • xUnit projects
  • TUnit projects
  • generic test strategy with no MSTest-specific mechanics

Inputs

  • the nearest AGENTS.md
  • the test project file and package references
  • the active MSTest runner model

Quick Start

  1. Read the nearest AGENTS.md and confirm scope and constraints.
  2. Run this skill's Workflow through the Ralph Loop until outcomes are acceptable.
  3. Return the Required Result Format with concrete artifacts and verification evidence.

Workflow

  1. Detect the MSTest project style first:
    • MSTest.Sdk project SDK
    • MSTest meta-package
    • legacy package set with explicit Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk
  2. Read the repo's real test command from AGENTS.md. If the repo has no explicit command yet, start with dotnet test PROJECT_OR_SOLUTION.
  3. Keep the runner model consistent:
    • MSTest.Sdk defaults to the MSTest runner on Microsoft.Testing.Platform
    • VSTest is opt-in with UseVSTest=true or legacy package choices
    • do not pass VSTest-only switches or assume legacy .runsettings behavior on Microsoft.Testing.Platform jobs
  4. Prefer [DataRow] or DynamicData for stable data-driven coverage. Keep test lifecycle hooks minimal and deterministic.
  5. Keep MSTest analyzers enabled and fix findings instead of muting them casually.
  6. Align coverage/reporting packages with the active runner.

Bootstrap When Missing

If MSTest is requested but not configured:

  1. Detect current framework first:
    • rg -n "MSTest\\.Sdk|PackageReference Include=\"MSTest\"|xunit|TUnit|UseVSTest|TestingPlatformDotnetTestSupport" -g '*.csproj' .
  2. If the repo currently uses xUnit or TUnit, do not auto-migrate. Return status: not_applicable unless migration is explicitly requested.
  3. For explicit MSTest adoption, add package(s) to target test project:
    • dotnet add TEST_PROJECT.csproj package MSTest
  4. Document runner model (MSTest.Sdk default MTP vs UseVSTest) in AGENTS.md.
  5. Run dotnet test TEST_PROJECT.csproj and return status: configured or status: improved.

Deliver

  • MSTest tests that match the repo's runner model
  • commands that work in local and CI runs
  • explicit guidance for VSTest versus Microsoft.Testing.Platform usage
Show full SKILL.md (224 more words)Show less

Validate

  • the runner model is documented and consistent
  • test commands match that runner
  • data-driven tests stay deterministic
  • analyzer, coverage, and reporting packages align with the chosen runner

Ralph Loop

Use the Ralph Loop for every task, including docs, architecture, testing, and tooling work.

  1. Plan first (mandatory):
    • analyze current state
    • define target outcome, constraints, and risks
    • write a detailed execution plan
    • list final validation skills to run at the end, with order and reason
  2. Execute one planned step and produce a concrete delta.
  3. Review the result and capture findings with actionable next fixes.
  4. Apply fixes in small batches and rerun the relevant checks or review steps.
  5. Update the plan after each iteration.
  6. Repeat until outcomes are acceptable or only explicit exceptions remain.
  7. If a dependency is missing, bootstrap it or return status: not_applicable with explicit reason and fallback path.
Required Result Format
  • status: complete | clean | improved | configured | not_applicable | blocked
  • plan: concise plan and current iteration step
  • actions_taken: concrete changes made
  • validation_skills: final skills run, or skipped with reasons
  • verification: commands, checks, or review evidence summary
  • remaining: top unresolved items or none

For setup-only requests with no execution, return status: configured and exact next commands.

Load References

  • read references/mstest.md first

Example Requests

  • "Fix our MSTest runner setup."
  • "Add an MSTest regression test."
  • "Move this MSTest project to Microsoft.Testing.Platform safely."
