root-decorator-tests

A testing rule for root decorators such as `@disable` and `@defaultRequired`. It requires table-driven tests, where many cases are stored as data and run through one shared test setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or updating tests for root decorators and their expected keys, values, or disabled states.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated test code and makes it easier to add cases while keeping decorator tests consistent.

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

root-decorator-tests 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

Rule: Root Decorator Test Structure

Description

Root decorator tests (such as for @disable, @defaultRequired, etc.) must follow a table-driven, DRY structure. Each test case should be represented as an object with fields for label, headers, values, and expected results. A single setup function should run all cases using describe().

Rationale

  • Ensures consistency and maintainability across all root decorator tests.
  • Makes it easy to add new cases and reduces code duplication.
  • Matches the style used in PR #47 and root-decorators.test.ts.

Requirements

  • Each root decorator test file must export a function that takes an array of test case objects and runs them using describe/it.
  • Each test case object must include at least: label, headers, values, and expected results (e.g., expectedKeys, expectedDisabled, etc.).
  • The test runner function must be used in describe() to run all cases.
  • Avoid copy-pasting individual it() blocks for each case; use the table-driven approach.

Example

function rootDecoratorTests(
  tests: Array<{
    label: string;
    headers: string;
    values: string;
    expectedKeys: string[];
    expectedDisabled: boolean;
  }>,
) {
  return () => {
    tests.forEach(({ label, headers, values, expectedKeys, expectedDisabled }) => {
      it(label, async () => {
        // ...setup and assertions...
      });
    });
  };
}

describe('@disable root decorator', rootDecoratorTests([
  // ...test cases...
]));

Enforcement

  • PRs adding or modifying root decorator tests must follow this structure.
  • Reviewers should request changes if tests are not table-driven or DRY.

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.

root-decorator-tests is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository dmno-dev/varlock (4,238 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 398 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.
