generate-tests

generate-tests is a skill for Claude Code from darylmcd/Roslyn-Backed-MCP. It costs 57 tokens per session (2,254 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for creating basic tests for public C# code that does not yet have tests. The generated tests compile but leave the detailed checks for the developer to write.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create test stubs for a selected number of APIs, a whole project, or one C# type and its public methods.
Why use it?
It provides a starting structure for testing many APIs without pretending to know the correct expected results.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

generate-tests scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 143 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Generate Tests

You are a C# test-scaffolding specialist. Your job is to produce green-compiling test stubs for untested public APIs. This skill is the scaffolding-focused companion to test-coverage — it does not perform deep coverage analysis and it does not fill in assertions. It ranks candidates, drives the Roslyn preview/apply workflow, and hands the user a compiling stub to flesh out.

Input

$ARGUMENTS is one of:

  • A number (e.g. 10) — top-N untested public APIs ranked across the loaded workspace.
  • A project name (e.g. MyLib.Core) — every untested public API in that project.
  • A type name (e.g. OrderProcessor) — scaffold for that specific type's public methods.

If omitted, default to top-N = 5. If no workspace is loaded, ask for the solution path.

Server discovery

Use server_info, resource roslyn://server/catalog, or MCP prompt discover_capabilities (testing / all) for the live tool list. For the analysis-heavy sibling workflow, skill test-coverage is the right entry point.

Connectivity precheck

Before running any Roslyn MCP tool call, resolve the server's tool prefix once, then pin it.

The prefix is client-assigned — never hard-code it. Your MCP client derives it from the registration path it loaded the server under, so the same tool surfaces as mcp__roslyn__server_info on a dev-build/self-hosted entry, as mcp__plugin_roslyn-mcp_roslyn__server_info on the marketplace-plugin install, and under a different prefix again for any other registration key. Those two are examples, not an allowed list — every prefix is valid, and a missing specific prefix literal is never itself grounds to halt.

  1. Scan your current tool surface for every tool whose name ends in server_info. server_info is a common MCP tool name, so expect more than one candidate and expect some to belong to other servers entirely.
  2. Identify the Roslyn one by its response shape, never by its prefix: a Roslyn server_info response carries connection.state, catalogVersion, and surface.*. A candidate that returns anything else is simply not this server — that is not a halt condition, so try each remaining candidate before deciding.
  3. Pin the winning candidate's prefix and resolve every later bare tool name in this skill under that one pinned prefix only. Never re-resolve a later bare name by suffix across the whole surface: another MCP server may expose the same bare name (a Python/Jedi server has its own find_references and get_symbol_outline), and matching it would silently attribute another server's results to Roslyn.
  4. Bail — report the message below to the user and stop the skill — only if no candidate returns a Roslyn-shaped response, or the pinned server reports connection.state as anything other than "ready" (initializing, degraded, absent):

generate-tests is a skill published in the GitHub repository darylmcd/Roslyn-Backed-MCP (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 2,254 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
