test-smell-detection Guide
Deep-dive audit using the full testsmells.org 19-smell academic catalog for .NET tests. Every finding maps to a named, citable smell from the research literature (Assertion Roulette, Duplicate Assert, Constructor Initialization, Default Test, Mystery Guest, Eager Test, Sensitive Equality, Conditional Test Logic, Sleepy Test, Magic Number Test, etc.) with research-backed severity and integration-test calibration. Works with MSTest, xUnit, NUnit, TUnit. INVOKE THIS SKILL ONLY when the user explicitly asks for the testsmells.org / 19-smell academic catalog, a research-backed smell taxonomy audit, citable smell names from the literature, or a catalog deep-dive beyond pragmatic anti-patterns. DO NOT USE FOR: any general or pragmatic test audit — "audit my tests", "do a smell audit", "review test quality", severity-ranked anti-pattern reviews — use test-anti-patterns (the umbrella audit skill); writing new tests (use writing-mstest-tests); running tests (use run-tests); framework migration (use migration skills).
