Individual skill
run-tests
ALWAYS USE before running .NET tests or answering with a test command or flags. Trigger on "run the tests", "exact dotnet test command", one test/class/category/trait/target framework, combined filters, `--filter-query`, `--no-build`, `--diag`, diagnostic logs, TRX, coverage collection, crash/hang dumps, filter errors, or unrecognized options. Chooses repository-compatible classic, VSTest, bridged MTP, or native MTP syntax for MSTest/xUnit/NUnit/TUnit. DO NOT USE for platform identification alone (platform-detection), writing or debugging test code, interpreting an existing coverage report, CI investigation, migration, or a persistent hot reload/watch loop.

# Run .NET Tests
Return or execute the command or command sequence that matches the repository's
project system, test platform, framework, and SDK mode.
## Repository overlay
For every repository-scoped task where read-only file inspection is allowed,
check `.agents/skill-overlays/dotnet-test/run-tests.md` at the repository root
before any other discovery. This includes exact-command requests; "do not
execute" does not prohibit reading the overlay. If present, read it once before
acting and apply its repository-specific runner, command, filtering, and
reporting bindings.
Before applying it, require its frontmatter to declare
