## What it does

The skill kicks in when a Flows app has to clear the hard 80% line coverage gate. It does not stop at a report. First it checks that the project has Vitest or Jest with coverage configured, and if that setup is missing it adds it — the `@vitest/coverage-v8` provider and a `coverage` section in `vitest.config.ts`.

Then it validates what gets measured. Only test files, type declarations and the `main.tsx` entry point may be excluded. If pages, components or hooks are hidden from coverage, the skill rewrites the exclude list. After that it runs the suite and works through failures: broken mocks, stale snapshots, missing imports. It keeps fixing until the run is green.

For every file without a test, the skill reads the source and decides. Services, hooks, utils and contexts get a new test file next to the source; pure presentational components, barrel exports and type-only files are marked as not needing one. You can pass a directory or a single file as the argument, otherwise the skill takes the whole app. Hook tests are written with `renderHook` from `@testing-library/react` and the providers they need. When production code hard-codes its imports, the skill flags that as a testability concern and still writes the test with `vi.mock` plus a comment explaining why.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cognitedata/builder-skills --skill test-coverage -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/test-coverage/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/test-coverage/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cognitedata/builder-skills --skill test-coverage -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/test-coverage/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cognitedata/builder-skills --skill test-coverage -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/test-coverage/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install cognitedata/builder-skills test-coverage
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/test-coverage/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cognitedata/builder-skills --skill test-coverage -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/cognitedata/builder-skills --path skills/test-coverage
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/test-coverage/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cognitedata/builder-skills --skill test-coverage -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/cognitedata/builder-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/test-coverage/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- set up coverage tooling in a project that has none
- strip pages and components from the coverage exclude list
- repair failing tests before measuring coverage
- write tests for hooks, services and utils
- cover untested branches and edge cases

## Example prompts
- run test-coverage on the whole app and get line coverage to 80%
- audit coverage in `src/hooks` and write the missing tests
- why are the tests failing — fix them and show the final coverage

# Test Coverage Fix

Fix test coverage for **$ARGUMENTS** (or the whole app if no argument is given). This skill enforces the **80% line coverage hard gate** required for Flows app approval by finding AND fixing coverage gaps. Work through every step in order.

---

## Step 1 — Verify test framework and coverage tooling

Check that the project has a working test framework with coverage configured:

```bash
# Check for vitest or jest in package.json
grep -E "(vitest|jest)" package.json

# Check for coverage configuration
cat vitest.config.ts 2>/dev/null || cat vitest.config.js 2>/dev/null || cat jest.config.ts 2>/dev/null || cat jest.config.js 2>/dev/null
```

Verify:
- A test framework (Vitest or Jest) is installed and configured
- The config file has a `coverage` section (e.g. `coverage: { provider: 'v8', ... }` in vitest.config.ts)
- A coverage reporter is configured (at least `text` and `lcov` or `json-summary`)

**If coverage tooling is not configured, fix it now:**

1. Install the coverage provider:
```bash
pnpm add -D @vitest/coverage-v8
```

2. Add the coverage configuration to `vitest.config.ts`. Read the existing config file, then add the `coverage` section inside `test`:

```typescript
// vitest.config.ts — minimum coverage configuration to add
test: {
  coverage: {
    provider: 'v8',
    reporter: ['text', 'text-summary', 'lcov'],
    include: ['src/**/*.{ts,tsx}'],
    exclude: [
      'src/**/*.test.{ts,tsx}',
      'src/**/*.spec.{ts,tsx}',
      'src/**/vite-env.d.ts',
      'src/main.tsx',
    ],
  },
}
```

Write the updated config file. If no vitest.config.ts exists at all, create one with the full `defineConfig` wrapper.

---

## Step 2 — Validate coverage scope

The 80% threshold applies to **all `.ts` and `.tsx` files** under `src/`, excluding only:
