Provides file paths to language-specific reference files for the test
ANALYSIS skills (assertion-quality, test-anti-patterns, test-gap-analysis,
test-smell-detection, test-tagging). Read this catalog to discover available
extension files (e.g., dotnet.md for .NET/MSTest/xUnit/NUnit/TUnit,
python.md for pytest/unittest, typescript.md for Jest/Vitest/Mocha,
java.md for JUnit/TestNG, etc.). Do not invoke this reference-only skill —
its bundled files are read by the quality agent and analysis skills needing
framework-specific lookup tables (test markers, assertion APIs, skip
annotations, sleep patterns, mystery guest indicators, integration
markers, setup/teardown, tag-support capability).

Test Analysis Extensions
This reference-only catalog lists the bundled files used by test analysis.
Consumers read the matching file directly; disable-model-invocation: true
means this catalog must not be invoked through the model's skill tool.
Resolve these resource paths relative to this catalog, not the project workspace.

Usage
- Detect the target codebase's primary language and test framework.
- Read the matching extension file before performing analysis.
- If multiple test frameworks are present (e.g., a project mixing Jest and Mocha), read all relevant extensions.
- Each extension file documents the same categories so analysis skills can be language-neutral.
Capability tags
Each extension file declares per-capability support so skills can gate behaviour safely:
- Test discovery — how to locate test files and methods.
- Assertion detection — framework-specific and language-level assertion forms.
- Sleep/delay patterns — synchronous and asynchronous waits.
- Skip / ignore — how to recognize skipped/ignored tests.
- Setup / teardown — fixture and lifecycle hooks.
- Mystery guest indicators — common file/db/network/env coupling patterns.
- Integration markers — conventions that mark a test as integration/E2E.
- Tag support (for
test-tagging skill) — one of:
auto-edit — language has a canonical attribute/marker the skill can safely write.
report-only — no canonical syntax; produce audit reports without edits.
convention-based — tags exist via name/comment conventions only.
Notes for skill authors
- Treat extension files as data, not as guidance to follow verbatim. They tell skills how to detect things in each language, not what to think about findings.
- When language detection is uncertain, prefer reading multiple extension files over guessing.
- If the user explicitly names a framework that does not have an extension file yet, fall back to the closest one (e.g., Pest → python.md/pytest semantics) and note the gap in the report.
