About this skill
What it does. Provides reference syntax for filtering .NET tests with VSTest and Microsoft Testing Platform (MTP). It covers shared expressions, xUnit v3 and TUnit-specific flags, SDK-specific command placement, and translating VSTest filters for migration.
When to use it. After the test platform and framework are known, when creating or translating a filter for MSTest, NUnit, xUnit or TUnit. It does not apply to unfiltered runs or platform detection, and is used by test-running skills rather than invoked directly.
