name: calculate-coverage description: Calculate code coverage for .NET projects using local coverage scripts. Use when user asks to calculate coverage, check coverage, coverage metrics, test coverage. For NEW CODE coverage (what SonarCloud Quality Gate checks), use when user says "new code coverage", "coverage on new code", "changed code coverage", "feature branch coverage". For OVERALL coverage, use when user says "overall coverage", "total coverage", "full coverage", "complete coverage". allowed-tools: Bash, Read

Code Coverage Calculator

Purpose

Calculate and report code coverage metrics for .NET projects using:

• calculate-coverage.sh - Overall coverage (all code in the project)
• calculate-coverage-new-code.sh - New code coverage (changed/modified code vs base branch)

Both scripts match the exact CI pipeline methodology.

When to Activate

Activate this skill when the user mentions coverage-related keywords.

Coverage Mode Detection

Determine which script to run based on user intent:

NEW CODE Coverage (calculate-coverage-new-code.sh):

• User explicitly says: "new code", "changed code", "modified code", "feature branch coverage"
• User is on a feature branch and says "calculate coverage" (smart default)

OVERALL Coverage (calculate-coverage.sh):

• User explicitly says: "overall", "total", "full", "complete", "all code"
• User is on main/master branch and says "calculate coverage" (smart default)

Smart Default Detection

When user says just "calculate coverage" without specifying:

CopyCURRENT_BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
if [[ "$CURRENT_BRANCH" == "main" || "$CURRENT_BRANCH" == "master" ]]; then
    # Run overall coverage
    ./calculate-coverage.sh
else
    # Run new code coverage (feature branch)
    ./calculate-coverage-new-code.sh
fi

Instructions

1. Determine Which Script to Run

Follow the Coverage Mode Detection logic above to determine which script to run.

2. Locate the Coverage Scripts

Both scripts are typically in the project root:

• ./calculate-coverage.sh - Overall coverage
• ./calculate-coverage-new-code.sh - New code coverage

3. Execute Coverage Calculation

For OVERALL Coverage:

Copy# Standard execution
./calculate-coverage.sh

# With HTML report auto-open
./calculate-coverage.sh --html

# Skip build if already built
./calculate-coverage.sh --no-build

# Verbose output for debugging
./calculate-coverage.sh --verbose

For NEW CODE Coverage:

Copy# Standard execution (compares against main)
./calculate-coverage-new-code.sh

# Compare against different base branch
./calculate-coverage-new-code.sh --base develop

# With HTML report auto-open
./calculate-coverage-new-code.sh --html

# Skip build if already built
./calculate-coverage-new-code.sh --no-build

# Verbose output for debugging
./calculate-coverage-new-code.sh --verbose

Timeout: Allow up to 10 minutes (600000ms) for large projects.

4. Present Results

After execution, present the coverage results in a clear format:

For OVERALL Coverage:

Copy=== Overall Code Coverage Report ===

Overall Metrics:
- Line Coverage:   XX.X% (covered/total)
- Branch Coverage: XX.X% (covered/total)

Coverage Status: [PASS/FAIL] (threshold: 80%)

Top Areas Needing Coverage:
1. ClassName - XX.X%
2. ClassName - XX.X%
3. ClassName - XX.X%

Generated Reports:
- HTML:      ./coverage/index.html
- SonarQube: ./coverage/SonarQube.xml

For NEW CODE Coverage:

Copy=== New Code Coverage Report (vs main) ===

Changed Source Files:
- File1.cs
- File2.cs

Coverage by File:
  File1.cs    XX/XX lines (XX.X%)
  File2.cs    XX/XX lines (XX.X%)

Summary:
- Total new/modified lines: XX
- Covered lines:            XX
- NEW CODE COVERAGE:        XX.XX%

Quality Gate: [PASS/FAIL] (threshold: 80%)

5. Provide Recommendations

Based on coverage results:

For OVERALL Coverage:

• If >= 80%: Congratulate on good coverage, suggest maintaining as code evolves
• If 60-79%: Identify lowest coverage areas, focus on critical business logic
• If < 60%: Flag as needing immediate attention, list top 5-10 files with lowest coverage

For NEW CODE Coverage:

• If >= 80%: Pass Quality Gate - safe to merge
• If < 80%: Fail Quality Gate - show files needing more tests and how many lines need coverage

Error Handling

Script Not Found

If coverage scripts are not found:

1. Inform the user which script is missing
2. For overall coverage, suggest running:

   Copydotnet test --collect:"XPlat Code Coverage"
   

3. For new code coverage, suggest checking the project root for calculate-coverage-new-code.sh

Prerequisites Missing

If reportgenerator is not installed:

Copydotnet tool install --global dotnet-reportgenerator-globaltool

Build Failures

If tests fail during coverage:

1. Report the number of failed tests
2. Suggest fixing tests before measuring coverage
3. Offer to run tests with verbose output

Permission Issues

If script is not executable:

Copychmod +x ./calculate-coverage.sh

Output Files

After successful execution, these files are generated:

• ./coverage/index.html - Interactive HTML report
• ./coverage/SonarQube.xml - Format matching CI SonarCloud upload
• ./coverage/Cobertura.xml - Standard coverage format
• ./coverage/Summary.txt - Text summary

Coverage Thresholds

Overall Coverage Thresholds:

• Green (80%+): Excellent coverage
• Yellow (60-79%): Acceptable but should improve
• Red (<60%): Needs immediate attention

New Code Coverage Threshold:

• SonarCloud Quality Gate requires 80% coverage on new code
• This is enforced on pull requests before merging

Integration with CI

Both coverage scripts use the exact same methodology as the CI pipeline:

1. Coverlet XPlat Code Coverage collector
2. OpenCover format output
3. ReportGenerator for Cobertura conversion
4. SonarQube XML format for cloud analysis

Overall Coverage (calculate-coverage.sh):

• Matches what SonarCloud reports for overall project health

New Code Coverage (calculate-coverage-new-code.sh):

• Uses git diff to identify changed lines (same as SonarCloud with sonar.newCode.referenceBranch)
• Cross-references with Cobertura coverage data
• Reports coverage only for new/modified lines
• Matches what SonarCloud Quality Gate checks on PRs
