Individual skill
ia-test-audit
Audit whether tests detect regressions in the behavior they claim to protect. Find mocked-away subjects, weak or circular assertions, undiscriminating fixtures, swallowed failures, and tests missing from gates. Use for test-quality audits, suspected false confidence in generated tests, and reviewing new tests. Use ia-writing-tests for writing tests.

# Test audit
Find tests that remain green when their claimed behavior breaks. Assess behavior,
not apparent authorship, mock count, assertion count, or a target finding percentage.
Default to a read-only audit. Change tests or production code only when requested.
Adapted from the OpenClaw test-audit skill (MIT).
## What counts as a finding
Evaluate each claimed behavior separately. A test can protect one obligation and miss
another. Use these dispositions:
- **Ineffective for the claim:** the named behavior is replaced, never reached, or
