 ## Supported features
 
+* `@include_files` is a clone of Test.jl's `@include_files` that was added in Julia 1.13.
+
 * `@__FUNCTION__` is a macro that returns the innermost enclosing function ([#58940]) (since Compat 4.18.0).
   * *Note: the Compat version of this macro does not work in callable structs.*

+        @include_files(files)
+
+    Include test files from a list, optionally filtered by command-line test arguments.
+
+    When running tests via `Pkg.test()`, files can be filtered by passing `test_args`
+    with the `--files=` or `--files-regex=` flag. If no test args are provided, all files are included.
+
+    This macro is part of `Test` in Julia 1.13+. In earlier versions, it's provided
+    by Compat in the `Compat` module (not re-exported into `Test`).
+
+    # Example
+    ```julia
+    using Test
+    using Compat
+
+    # Include common utilities
+    include("utils.jl")
+
+    @include_files [
+        "foo.jl",
+        "bar.jl",
+        "baz.jl",
+    ]
+    ```
+
+    ## Usage patterns:
+
+    - `Pkg.test()` → includes all files
+    - `Pkg.test(test_args=["--files=foo"])` → includes only "foo.jl"
+    - `Pkg.test(test_args=["--files=foo,bar"])` → includes "foo.jl" and "bar.jl"
+    - `Pkg.test(test_args=["--files-regex=^test_.*\\.jl\$"])` → uses regex pattern matching
+    - `Pkg.test(test_args=["--files-regex=foo|bar"])` → includes files matching "foo" or "bar"
+    """
+    macro include_files(files)
+        quote
+            let test_files = $(esc(files))
+                # Filter files based on ARGS
+                filtered_files = Compat.filter_test_files(test_files, ARGS)
+
+                # Include filtered files
+                for file in filtered_files
+                    include(file)
