Test Value Auditor

Judges slow, flaky, redundant or brittle tests by the real failure they protect, and trims feedback cost to the smallest verification that covers the risk.

What it does

Evaluates tests by the risk they actually protect, treating coverage percentages and green runs as evidence rather than goals.
Scopes the work first: read-only audits of existing tests, implementation/pre-commit review limited to the changed behavior, or failure diagnosis (product regression vs. obsolete assertion vs. environment vs. flake).
Forces three questions for every added or changed test: which concrete mistake it catches, whether a valid refactor would also fail it, and which existing check already covers it.
Supplies an evidence → decision table for adding, reusing, consolidating, retiring or keeping tests.
Checks discriminating power (reproduce the original bug, fault injection, fixture isolation) and verifies which tests actually executed, including filters and skips.
Guards protections around data loss, permission/trust boundaries, compatibility promises, accessibility and resource leaks from being quietly deleted, skipped or snapshot-refreshed.

Who it's for

Teams whose suites have grown slow and flaky and whose CI time is expensive.
Developers who let an AI write both the implementation and the tests and worry both share the same wrong assumption.
Leads and reviewers who want a consistent rubric for "is this test worth keeping?".

Example uses

"CI takes 18 minutes — audit the most expensive tests": a read-only pass that classifies candidates as changed, retained or awaiting evidence.
Bug-fix PR: reproduce the original failure with the new regression test, confirm it passes after the fix, and state the gap when reproduction isn't possible.
Constantly-breaking snapshot test: assert outcome properties or justified tolerances instead of refreshing the snapshot, so regressions stay visible.

Try it now, no install

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.

Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tt-a1i/archify/HEAD/.agents/skills/test-value/SKILL.md

What I want: (describe your task here)

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.

↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.

Install in the Claude app (no terminal)

Download the ZIP with the button below.
In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.

↓ Download ZIP

Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on AI Skill Mart.
Copy the .agents/skills/test-value folder from the GitHub repo tt-a1i/archify into my ~/.claude/skills/test-value/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/tt-a1i/archify.git /tmp/archify && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/archify/.agents/skills/test-value ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

Open a terminal.
Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/tt-a1i/archify.git /tmp/archify
Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
Copy the skill with its references: cp -r /tmp/archify/.agents/skills/test-value ~/.claude/skills/
Verify with ls ~/.claude/skills/test-value — you should see SKILL.md and a references/ directory.
Restart Claude Code and try a prompt like "audit the slow and flaky tests in this repo".
(Recommended) The skill permits editing itself; if you don't want that, add a project instruction forbidding modifications to skill files.
