testing-requirements

testing-requirements is a cursor rule for Cursor from j4flmao/agent-skills. It costs 13 tokens per session (321 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for an AI coding assistant when creating tests. It requires unit tests, a clear setup-action-check structure, edge-case coverage, and mocks for databases, files, and external services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing functions and classes that need unit tests.
Why use it?
It reduces untested business logic and keeps tests consistent and isolated from outside systems.

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

testing-requirements 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

Testing Requirements

Cursor/AI MUST follow these rules regarding tests.

1. Zero-Prompt Testing

When generating a new business logic function or class, you must proactively generate (or update) the corresponding unit test without waiting for the user to explicitly say "write tests for this".

2. The Arrange-Act-Assert (AAA) Pattern

All tests must strictly follow the AAA pattern for readability. Do not mix assertions with setup code.

// BAD
expect(calculator.add(2, 2)).toBe(4);

// GOOD
it('should return the sum of two positive numbers', () => {
    // Arrange
    const calc = new Calculator();
    const a = 2;
    const b = 2;

    // Act
    const result = calc.add(a, b);

    // Assert
    expect(result).toBe(4);
});

3. Test Edge Cases, Not Just Happy Paths

Do not only test the optimal scenario. You must include tests for:

  • Null, undefined, or empty inputs.
  • Out-of-bounds values (negative numbers, extreme lengths).
  • Expected exception throwing (e.g., expect(() => fn(null)).toThrow()).

4. Mocking Boundaries

If the function interacts with a Database, File System, or external API, you MUST mock that dependency in the unit test. Do not write unit tests that perform real HTTP requests.

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.
