How it fires

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Swift Testing Code Review

Hard gates

Complete **in order** before recording Swift Testing review findings. Stack with [review-verification-protocol](../review-verification-protocol/SKILL.md) for universal review rules.

1. **Scope:** You have an explicit list of `.swift` paths under review (or a user-named single file). **Pass:** Paths captured in working notes **or** one line: `No Swift files in scope` — then stop with no findings. 2. **Swift Testing surface:** For each path you treat as Swift Testing code, confirm `import Testing` **or** `@Test` / `#expect` / `#require` / `@Suite` appears in that file (open or search). **Pass:** At least one match per critiqued file, or you exclude that file from Swift Testing review with a one-line reason (e.g. XCTest-only). 3. **Evidence + protocol:** Load [review-verification-protocol](../review-verification-protocol/SKILL.md) before asserting any issue. **Pass:** Each finding meets that skill’s anchor rules; any violated [Review Checklist](#review-checklist) item cites `[FILE:LINE]` evidence. If you report zero issues, state `Protocol applied; no Swift Testing issues` (or equivalent) in the review summary.

Quick Reference

| Issue Type | Reference | |------------|-----------| | #expect vs #require, expression capture, error testing | [references/expect-macro.md](references/expect-macro.md) | | @Test with arguments, traits, zip() pitfalls | [references/parameterized.md](references/parameterized.md) | | confirmation, async sequences, completion handlers | [references/async-testing.md](references/async-testing.md) | | @Suite, tags, parallel execution, .serialized | [references/organization.md](references/organization.md) |

Review Checklist

  • [ ] Expressions embedded directly in `#expect` (not pre-computed booleans)
  • [ ] `#require` used only for preconditions, `#expect` for assertions
  • [ ] Error tests check specific types (not generic `(any Error).self`)
  • [ ] Parameterized tests with pairs use `zip()` (not Cartesian product)
  • [ ] No logic mirroring implementation in parameterized expected values
  • [ ] Async sequences tested with `confirmation(expectedCount:)`
  • [ ] Completion handlers use `withCheckedContinuation`, not `confirmation`
  • [ ] `.serialized` applied only where necessary (shared resources)
  • [ ] Sibling serialized suites nested under parent if mutually exclusive
  • [ ] No assumption of state persistence between `@Test` functions
  • [ ] Disabled tests have explanations and bug links

When to Load References

  • Reviewing #expect or #require usage -> expect-macro.md
  • Reviewing @Test with arguments or traits -> parameterized.md
  • Reviewing confirmation or async testing -> async-testing.md
  • Reviewing @Suite or test organization -> organization.md

Review Questions

1. Could pre-computed booleans in `#expect` lose diagnostic context? 2. Is `#require` stopping tests prematurely instead of revealing all failures? 3. Are multi-argument parameterized tests creating accidental Cartesian products? 4. Could `zip()` silently drop test cases due to unequal array lengths? 5. Are completion handlers incorrectly tested with `confirmation`?
