pr-narrator-mcp: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/testing.instructions.md

pr-narrator-mcp testing.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from mhaviv/pr-narrator-mcp. It costs 1,102 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Testing instructions for Vitest test files, including mock setup, completeness, return values, and test lifecycle.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing and writing tests that mock dependencies in the right order and cover the functions used by each tool.
Why use it?
They help prevent tests from accidentally calling real Git functions or using mocks incorrectly.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is mhaviv/pr-narrator-mcp's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on pr-narrator-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything pr-narrator-mcp configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is vi.mock("../../src/utils/git.js", () => ({.

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to mhaviv/pr-narrator-mcp. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

pr-narrator-mcp 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 1mo ago.

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.

Test File Review Rules

Mock Setup (Critical Ordering)

  • vi.mock() calls MUST appear before any imports from the mocked module
  • This is a Vitest hoisting requirement — violations cause tests to use real implementations
// Correct: vi.mock BEFORE imports
vi.mock("../../src/utils/git.js", () => ({
  getCurrentBranch: vi.fn(),
  getStagedChanges: vi.fn(),
  getGitInfo: vi.fn(),
  getBranchChanges: vi.fn(),
  getWorkingTreeStatus: vi.fn(),
  extractTicketFromBranch: vi.fn(),
  extractBranchPrefix: vi.fn(),
  extractTicketsFromCommits: vi.fn(),
}));

// THEN import the module under test and mocked modules
import { analyzeGitChanges } from "../../src/tools/analyze-git-changes.js";
import {
  getCurrentBranch,
  getStagedChanges,
  getWorkingTreeStatus,
} from "../../src/utils/git.js";

// Wrong: import before mock — mock is ignored
import { getCurrentBranch } from "../../src/utils/git.js";
vi.mock("../../src/utils/git.js", () => ({ ... }));  // Too late!

Mock Completeness

  • Each tool test file must mock ALL git.ts functions used by that tool
  • Missing mocks cause real git operations against the developer's repo
  • Use vi.mocked(fn) for type-safe mock access — never use as jest.Mock or similar casts
// Correct
vi.mocked(getCurrentBranch).mockResolvedValue("feature/PROJ-123-add-login");

// Avoid
(getCurrentBranch as any).mockResolvedValue("feature/PROJ-123-add-login");

Mock Return Values

  • Mock return values must match the actual interface exactly
  • Do not skip required fields — this hides integration bugs
  • For complex interfaces, define reusable fixtures
// Good: all required fields present
vi.mocked(getWorkingTreeStatus).mockResolvedValue({
  modified: [],
  untracked: [],
  deleted: [],
  modifiedCount: 0,
  untrackedCount: 0,
  deletedCount: 0,
  totalUncommitted: 0,
});

// Bad: missing required fields
vi.mocked(getWorkingTreeStatus).mockResolvedValue({
  modified: [],
});

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.
