description: 'Experimental (preview) Pester migration skill for upgrading PowerShell Pester test suites across major versions — v3→v4, v4→v5, and v5→v6. The v5→v6 path tracks Pester 6, which is still a release candidate, so that guidance may change. Covers the Discovery/Run two-phase model, moving setup into BeforeAll, $PSScriptRoot vs $MyInvocation, mock changes (Assert-MockCalled → Should -Invoke, removed fall-through), Invoke-Pester parameters → PesterConfiguration, data-driven -ForEach/-TestCases, and the v6 breaking changes. Use when the user asks to upgrade, migrate, or modernize Pester tests, fix *.Tests.ps1 files that broke after bumping the Pester version, or convert legacy Should / Invoke-Pester syntax.'

Pester is the test framework for PowerShell. Test files end in `*.Tests.ps1` and use
`Describe` / `Context` / `It` blocks with `Should` assertions. This skill upgrades an existing
suite from one major Pester version to the next and gets it green again.
