A set of Foundry rules for testing Ethereum smart contracts. Foundry is a toolkit for building and testing these blockchain programs, and TDD means writing a failing test before the code that makes it pass.

Use it to organize unit, integration, invariant, fork, fuzz, and exploit-proof tests for Solidity contracts.

It provides a consistent way to check normal behavior, failures, edge cases, gas use, and interactions with other contracts.

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.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ccashwell/evm-cortex

Made for: Cursor.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00459	$0.00459
Opus 5.5	$0.00184	$0.00184
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00092	$0.00092
Haiku 4.5	$0.00046	$0.00046

Security

Grade A, and why

testing 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.

What it actually says

Foundry Testing Standards

TDD Workflow

Write test first (RED) -- test must fail
Write minimal implementation (GREEN) -- test must pass
Refactor and optimize (IMPROVE)
Run forge snapshot to baseline gas
Target 90%+ coverage on critical paths

Test File Structure

test/
  unit/           # Unit tests per contract
  integration/    # Cross-contract interaction tests
  invariant/      # Stateful invariant tests
  fork/           # Fork tests against live protocols
  poc/            # Proof-of-concept exploit tests

Naming Conventions

Unit tests: test_FunctionName_Condition_ExpectedResult
Revert tests: test_RevertWhen_Condition
Fuzz tests: testFuzz_FunctionName_PropertyDescription
Invariant tests: invariant_PropertyDescription
Fork tests: testFork_ScenarioDescription

Test Quality Rules

Every public/external function must have at least one test
Test happy path AND failure cases
Test edge cases: 0, 1, type(uint256).max, empty arrays
Fuzz test ALL math operations (min 10,000 runs)
Fork-test ALL external protocol integrations
First depositor / last withdrawer scenarios for vaults
Invariant tests for core protocol properties

Cheatcode Usage

vm.prank(addr) for single-call impersonation
vm.startPrank(addr) / vm.stopPrank() for multi-call
deal(token, addr, amount) for token balances
vm.warp(ts) and vm.roll(bn) for time/block
vm.expectRevert(Error.selector) for revert tests
vm.expectEmit() for event verification
vm.assume() / vm.bound() for fuzz input constraints
makeAddr("name") for labeled test addresses

CI Integration

forge test --gas-report    # All tests + gas
forge snapshot --check     # Gas regression check
forge coverage             # Coverage report
slither .                  # Static analysis

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.

testing is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository ccashwell/evm-cortex (131 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 459 tokens to every session, about $0.0018 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
