This skill enables Claude to split datasets into training, validation, and testing sets. It is useful when preparing data for machine learning model development. Use this skill when the user requests to split a dataset, create train-test splits, or needs data partitioning for model training. The skill is triggered by terms like "split dataset," "train-test split," "validation set," or "data partitioning.
Running Mutation Tests
jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills
This skill enables Claude to validate test suite quality by performing mutation testing. It is triggered when the user asks to run mutation tests, analyze test effectiveness, or improve test coverage. The skill introduces code mutations, runs tests against the mutated code, and reports on the "survival rate" of the mutations, indicating the effectiveness of the test suite. Use this skill when the user requests to assess the quality of their tests using mutation testing techniques. Specific trigger terms include "mutation testing", "test effectiveness", "mutation score", and "surviving mutants"
Testing Load Balancers
jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills
This skill enables Claude to test load balancing strategies. It validates traffic distribution across backend servers, tests failover scenarios when servers become unavailable, verifies sticky sessions, and assesses health check functionality. Use this skill when the user asks to "test load balancer", "validate traffic distribution", "test failover", "verify sticky sessions", or "test health checks". It is specifically designed for testing load balancing configurations using the `load-balancer-tester` plugin.
