What problem does it solve?
This Skill generates characterization tests to capture the current behavior of existing code, providing a safety net before AI-assisted refactoring or modifications to legacy code.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Behavior Capture: Documents what code actually does, not what it should do.
- Refactoring Confidence: Enables safe modification of code by freezing current behavior as a regression suite.
- Use Case: Before using an AI to refactor a critical, untested module, generate characterization tests to ensure no existing functionality is inadvertently broken.
Quick Start
Use the characterization-test-generator skill to generate tests for the ItemManager class.
