lens-tests

agent

Find changes that aren't properly tested.

Called by
f-inspect
On site

Used as a reviewer inside f-inspect; it adds to the test-coverage check every work order already runs.

When

When tests changed, or changed behaviour has no test.

Not forFinding product bugs (lens-code). Not for git (the caller owns it).

It's working if
  • It states the git command that set its scope.
  • Each gap names the uncovered behaviour at a file:line and a change to the code that no test would catch.
  • It reports a gap only at 80 or above for confidence, and only gaps this diff introduced; older holes get one line at most.
  • Every recommendation uses the repo's own test harness and names the nearby test to copy.
  • When coverage is adequate, it says so in one paragraph and stops.
  • It changed no code and no tests.
One coverage gap

Each gap it reports takes this shape, exactly as the agent's instructions give it.

{
  "behavior_uncovered": "<contract, file:line>",
  "mutation_that_survives": "<change no test would catch | n/a>",
  "existing_coverage_checked": "searched <tiers>; nearest test <name> covers <what> not this",
  "confidence_gap_is_real": "<0-100>",
  "criticality_rationale": "<why this rating>",
  "rating": "<1-10>"
}
Common questions
Do I call it directly, or does /f-inspect run it?
/f-inspect runs it when the job changed tests, or changed behaviour without a test. It runs as a fresh subagent with no context from the job.
Does it write the missing tests?
No. It specifies the missing assertion, with a full snippet only when it is tiny. It has read and search tools and a shell it is told to use only for read-only git.
How does it find a gap?
For each changed function it imagines small mutations, such as flipping a comparison or dropping a guard. If no test would fail, that mutation is the gap. Error and rollback paths rank first.
Why does it reject some test suggestions?
A suggestion written for a test framework the repo does not use is a false positive. It reads the nearest existing test first and recommends only that idiom.
