80-testing-quality

A set of rules for testing software and maintaining code quality. It covers unit tests for individual pieces and integration tests for connected parts such as APIs and workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Choosing appropriate tests, checking authentication and permissions, testing agent and search workflows, mocking external services, and applying linting, formatting, and type checks.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that new code breaks existing behavior or fails on invalid input, permissions, errors, or unusual cases.

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

80-testing-quality 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Testing philosophy:

  • Write production-quality code with tests for critical behavior.
  • Prefer deterministic unit tests for business logic.
  • Add integration tests for APIs, repositories, pipelines, and workflows crossing boundaries.
  • Mock external services, cloud dependencies, and model providers where appropriate.

Testing expectations:

  • Add tests for non-trivial service methods.
  • Add tests for auth and permission-sensitive flows.
  • Add tests for RAG/agent logic at the orchestration level where feasible.
  • Cover validation, failure, and edge cases.
  • Keep tests readable and isolated.

Code quality:

  • Use linting and formatting.
  • Use types wherever the stack supports them.
  • Keep functions focused.
  • Refactor repeated logic into shared utilities when justified.

Do not:

  • Add major logic without at least basic tests.
  • Create brittle tests tied to unstable implementation details.
  • Depend on live external APIs in normal test flows.
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.

80-testing-quality is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository aiagentwithdhruv/ai-dev-stack (10 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 194 tokens to every session, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
