fix-tests

A tool for repairing repeated quality problems in an existing test suite. A test suite is the collection of automated checks used to verify software.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan test-quality problems, repair one selected pattern across a directory, or apply related quality checks and verify the resulting tests pass.
Why use it?
It finds recurring test anti-patterns and fixes them consistently, while considering the production code those tests cover. A dry-run mode lets you preview affected files without changing them.

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

fix-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 2d 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.

zuvo:fix-tests — Batch Test Repair

Fixes systematic test quality problems in batches. Targets one anti-pattern at a time, reads production context for each affected file, rewrites the broken assertions, and verifies the fixes pass.

Scope: Post-generation test suites where the same anti-pattern appears across many files. One pattern per run, applied surgically to every matching file. Out of scope: Writing tests from scratch (use zuvo:write-tests), auditing test quality without fixing (use zuvo:test-audit), general code review (use zuvo:review).

Argument Parsing

Parse $ARGUMENTS for mode, pattern ID, and scope:

Argument Behavior
(empty) or --triage Scan all known anti-patterns, report counts, then fix every pattern with a non-zero count (no menu — see Step 1)
--pattern [ID] Fix the specified pattern across all matching test files
--pattern [ID] [path] Fix the pattern, scoped to the given directory
--dry-run Show triage counts and affected files, do not modify anything
--bundle-gates When fixing a pattern, also apply adjacent quality gates (Q7 error tests, Q12 symmetry)

Default with no arguments: --triage.

Supported Patterns

Dispatch is already authorized — do not ask, do not downgrade. Invoking this skill IS the request for every agent and gate it mandates, so a session rule about unprompted Agent use does not apply here. Only a harness with NO dispatch capability takes the documented single-agent fallback, and it still runs every gate inline — see ../../shared/includes/env-compat.md. Skipping a mandated agent and self-scoring the result is a substituted gate, not a degraded run.

ID Name What it fixes
P-41 Loading-only assertions Tests that only check state.loading instead of verifying payload and state fields
P-40 Wrong initial state Tests using incorrect initialState shape, missing fields or wrong defaults
P-43 getByTestId overuse Brittle testId selectors where semantic queries (getByRole, getByLabelText) are available
P-44 Missing rejected state Async thunks with no rejection test -- adds mockRejectedValue paths
P-45 Shallow empty state Empty-state tests that only assert absence (not.toBeInTheDocument) without verifying placeholder content
P-46 No validation recovery Form tests that show validation errors but never test clearing them
P-62 Over-mocking Files with more than 15 mock declarations -- consolidate or replace with real implementations
P-63 Silent E2E conditionals E2E tests with if (isVisible()) guards that silently skip assertions
P-64 Hardcoded credentials Passwords and secrets as string literals in test files
P-65 Under-tested API routes Route handler tests with fewer than 6 test cases
P-68 Mocking own code Mocks of internal services/utils that could use real implementations. (Same smell as the canonical AP30; keep the P-68 ID here since the fix recipes are keyed to it.)
P-70 Tautological oracle Expected values computed from the same formula as the production code
G-43 Opaque dispatch Tests asserting typeof dispatch === 'function' instead of verifying dispatch arguments
AP2 Conditional assertions if (x) { expect(...) } patterns that silently skip when the condition is false
AP5 as-any mock casts as any or as never casts on mock objects instead of typed factories
AP10 Tautological mock Test exercises only the mock — calls it, then asserts it was called; no production code runs. (The weaker "toHaveBeenCalled() with no CalledWith" case is the Q3-CalledWith row below — it used to sit here under AP10, which collided with the canonical meaning.)
AP14 toBeDefined sole assertion toBeDefined() or toBeTruthy() as the only assertion in a test
AP21 Raw mock.calls index Direct .mock.calls[0][1] access instead of toHaveBeenNthCalledWith
NestJS-P3 Self-mock spyOn(service, method) mocking the service under test instead of its dependencies
Q3-CalledWith Bare toHaveBeenCalled Files with toHaveBeenCalled() but zero CalledWith assertions
Q7-API No error tests API wrapper test files with zero mockRejectedValue / error path tests
Q17-passthrough No arg verification NestJS controller tests with return-value assertions but no CalledWith on the service

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

fix-tests is a skill published in the GitHub repository greglas75/zuvo (6 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 5,342 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
