Find verification tools

Identify testing frameworks and linters that an agent can use to verify code changes.

Detecting tools

Check if the project has existing guidance for running tests or linters, often documented in a README.md, AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md.

You can also check the source code for traces:

• Check the CI config (e.g. .gitlab-ci.yml, .github/workflows/). This is often the best source for CLI commands you know must run successfully.
• Look for a test directory (often features, spec or test).
• Look for a config or dependency manifest (e.g. Gemfile, package.json, pyproject.toml, go.mod).

Projects often use multiple test runners or linters for different purposes.
