$97 forever

Use PROACTIVELY when checking if tests catch real bugs, assessing test suite quality, finding weak tests, or measuring mutation score. Validates test effectiveness beyond coverage metrics by introducing code mutations. Supports Stryker (JS/TS), PIT (Java), mutmut (Python). Not for projects without existing test suites.

What this skill does


# Mutation Testing

## Overview

This skill sets up mutation testing to evaluate test suite quality by introducing deliberate code changes (mutants) and verifying tests catch them. A high mutation score indicates tests are effective at catching real bugs.

**Version:** 0.1.0
**Status:** Initial Release

## What This Skill Does

**Mutation Testing Workflow:**

1. **Analyze** codebase to identify mutation targets
2. **Generate** mutants (deliberate code changes)
3. **Run** test suite against each mutant
4. **Report** mutation score and surviving mutants
5. **Recommend** test improvements for weak spots

## When to Use This Skill

**Use when:**
- Coverage is high but confidence in tests is low
- Validating test suite effectiveness
- Finding tests that pass but don't catch real bugs
- Preparing for production release
- Improving test quality beyond coverage metrics

**Don't use if:**
- No existing test suite
- Test coverage below 50% (improve coverage first)
- CI pipeline can't afford extra runtime

## Trigger Phrases

- "Set up mutation testing"
- "Are my tests catching bugs?"
- "Check test effectiveness" / "Test quality analysis"
- "Run mutation analysis" / "Mutation score"
- "Find weak tests"

## Supported Frameworks

| Language | Framework | Command |
|----------|-----------|---------|
| JavaScript/TypeScript | Stryker | `npx stryker run` |
| Java | PIT | `mvn org.pitest:pitest-maven:mutationCoverage` |
| Python | mutmut | `mutmut run` |

## Mutation Score

| Score | Interpretation |
|-------|----------------|
| 90%+ | Excellent - tests catch most bugs |
| 75-89% | Good - some gaps to address |
| 50-74% | Fair - significant testing gaps |
| <50% | Poor - tests need major improvement |

## Common Mutations

| Type | Example | Tests Should Catch |
|------|---------|-------------------|
| Arithmetic | `+` → `-` | Math logic errors |
| Conditional | `>` → `>=` | Boundary conditions |
| Boolean | `true` → `false` | Logic inversions |
| Return | `return x` → `return null` | Null handling |
| Remove call | `validate()` → removed | Missing validations |

## Installation Summary

For JavaScript/TypeScript (Stryker):
```bash
npm install --save-dev @stryker-mutator/core
npx stryker init
```

For Python (mutmut):
```bash
pip install mutmut
mutmut run
```

## Quick Start

1. Ensure test suite exists and passes
2. Install mutation testing framework
3. Configure mutation targets (critical code paths)
4. Run mutation analysis
5. Review surviving mutants
6. Add/improve tests for uncaught mutations

## Performance Considerations

- Mutation testing is **compute-intensive**
- Start with critical modules only
- Use incremental mode for CI
- Cache results between runs
- Consider parallel execution

## Success Criteria

- Mutation testing framework installed
- Configuration targets critical code paths
- Initial mutation run completes
- Mutation score reported
- Action plan for surviving mutants

## Additional Resources

- **Workflow guide**: `workflow/mutation-analysis.md`
- **Configuration reference**: `reference/stryker-config.md`
- **Example report**: `examples/mutation-report.md`

## Version History

- **0.1.0** - Initial release with Stryker, PIT, mutmut support

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

alibabacloud-data-agent-skill

Included

Invoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
