test_guide

Rules for writing and changing tests, including how to organize cases, inputs, expected results, and assertions. An assertion is a check that a program produces the expected value or behaviour.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to group related tests, define multiple cases in maps, check edge conditions or locales, and write clear independent assertions with failure reasons.
Why use it?
They make tests more consistent and easier to read, extend, and diagnose when something fails. Data-driven cases also reduce repeated test code.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 230 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

test_guide 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

Test Guidelines

This guide outlines concise rules for writing and modifying tests in this project.

1. Data-Driven Structure

  • Use maps (e.g., Map<String, ({...})>) to define test cases.
  • Iterate over cases with forEach to minimize boilerplate.

2. Test Organization

  • Group related tests using group() and individual cases using test().
  • Name tests and groups descriptively (e.g., "parses various currency formats", "formats EUR in different locales").

3. Input & Expected Outputs

  • Define inputs and expected outputs clearly in your maps.
  • Separate cases for different locales or edge conditions.

4. Assertions

  • Use expect() with a clear reason to explain failures.
  • Assert each property (price, symbols, code) individually.

5. General Best Practices

  • Keep tests self-contained and independent.
  • Write concise, readable tests that are easy to update.
  • Use data-driven approaches to facilitate modifications and extensions.
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.

test_guide is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository Arenukvern/mcp_flutter (372 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 230 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
