Test Strategy

test-strategy

Plans risk-based test coverage for a feature, service, release, or system by mapping user and business risk to test levels, environments, data, failure paths, automation, exploratory checks, and release gates. Use when choosing what to test or how much evidence is enough. Not for writing one test case, applying TDD to a single behavior, or debugging a failing test.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
2 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by thiientv on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Test Strategy AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/thiientv/godmode/tree/main/skills/test-strategy
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/thiientv/godmode.git /tmp/godmode
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/godmode/skills/test-strategy .claude/skills/test-strategy

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Test Strategy in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Test Strategy on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Test Strategy is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Test Strategy

Coverage is a means; risk and failure detection are the decision criteria.

Strategy loop

Identify critical user journeys, assets, contracts, dependencies, and recent change areas.
Score impact and likelihood; include data loss, privacy, money, access, safety, operational, and reputation failure modes.
Map each high-risk item to the cheapest test level that reaches the real failure: unit, contract, integration, component, browser, load, security, exploratory, or production monitoring.
Define fixtures, environment parity, deterministic data, test ownership, test oracle, and cleanup.
Set release gates and explicit exclusions. Include negative, boundary, retry, concurrency, migration, accessibility, and recovery paths when risk warrants them.
Reassess after incidents, architecture changes, dependency changes, and high-churn releases.

Choose specialized test modes

Use exploratory charters when risks or failure shapes are not understood; time-box the session, record observations, then convert repeatable discoveries into automated checks.
Use contract tests at independently deployed consumer/provider seams; verify compatibility before deployment rather than duplicating implementation tests on both sides.
Classify flaky tests by product race, test race, data, environment, dependency, resource contention, or selector drift. Quarantine only with an owner, evidence, expiry, and a still-visible signal; retries are not a fix.
Use production tests only with non-destructive synthetic identities, blast-radius controls, monitoring, cleanup, and a tested abort path.
Use agent evaluation for stochastic model-backed behavior; ordinary pass rates and snapshots do not capture variance, tool trajectory, cost, or grounding.

Read risk-matrix.md and specialized-modes.md. Avoid a universal coverage percentage, brittle snapshots with no oracle, and tests that pass only because they mock the behavior under test.

Completion condition

The strategy connects risk to an executable check, names ownership and test data, defines release gates, and makes untested risk visible.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Test Strategy AI skill do?

Why use Test Strategy on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Test Strategy is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Test Strategy in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/thiientv/godmode/tree/main/skills/test-strategy. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Test Strategy?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Test Strategy?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Test Strategy with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Test Strategy AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by thiientv under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
