Summary generated from the skill's SKILL.md.
About the code-testing-agent skill
Redirecting legacy calls to the current testing workflow allows developers to maintain compatibility with older instructions that still reference the outdated code-testing-agent name. This skill acts as a bridge, ensuring that any system attempting to trigger the old identifier is automatically routed to the modern code-testing skill instead.
When an agent encounters an explicit request using the legacy name, it loads the code-testing skill and executes the original user request through that updated workflow. This prevents errors in automated pipelines or older agent configurations by removing the need for an extra interpretation layer. It serves as a simple alias that preserves existing functionality while transitioning users toward the test-engineer custom agent or the code-testing model-facing skill.
What an agent can do with it
- 1Maintain legacy instruction compatibilityAn AI client receives an instruction using the old agent name and needs to execute it correctly.
- 2Route requests to modern workflowsA developer wants to ensure that outdated calls are handled by the current testing logic.

View on GitHubLegacy Code Testing Alias
This skill preserves explicit calls that still use the former
code-testing-agent name. The public custom agent is test-engineer; the
model-facing implicit skill is code-testing.
- Invoke the
code-testingskill with the original user request. - Follow that skill's workflow without adding another interpretation layer.

How do I install the code-testing-agent skill in Claude Code?
Run npx degit dotnet/skills/plugins/dotnet-test/skills/code-testing-agent ~/.claude/skills/code-testing-agent. Claude Code loads skills from ~/.claude/skills (all projects) or .claude/skills (one project) and uses a skill when its description matches the task.
Which clients can use the code-testing-agent skill?
Any client that reads the Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and claude.ai (upload as a ZIP). Scripts in the skill run only where the client allows code execution.
What is the purpose of the code-testing-agent skill?
It serves as a legacy compatibility alias to preserve explicit calls using the old name by redirecting them to the code-testing skill.
Which skill should be used instead of code-testing-agent?
Users should use the test-engineer custom agent or the code-testing implicit skill.
