mq testing.instructions.md

Testing rules for mq, including the project command used to run its test suite. They cover unit tests, integration tests, test structure, mocks, and avoiding unreliable tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding or changing tests, and run the full suite with `just test-all` instead of `cargo test`.
Why use it?
They make tests easier to understand and reduce failures caused by timing, shared state, or external services.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mq testing.instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Testing Conventions

  • Write comprehensive tests for all new features and bug fixes.
  • Use descriptive names for test functions and modules.
  • Prefer table-driven tests for similar input/output patterns.
  • Use assert_eq!, assert!, and custom error messages for clarity.
  • Avoid flaky or timing-dependent tests.
  • Place integration tests in the tests/ directory and unit tests alongside implementation.
  • Mock external dependencies where possible.
  • Keep tests fast and isolated.
  • Update or add tests when changing existing code.

Use just test-all to run tests instead of cargo test.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
