testing

A set of testing rules for all code. They require tests for public methods, edge cases, empty and zero inputs, errors, and—when useful—properties across many generated inputs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning or reviewing tests, especially for round trips, invariants, ordering, and idempotence. Apply it across the project's codebase.
Why use it?
It makes tests cover failure and boundary behavior instead of only normal examples. It also favors simple in-memory fakes over mocking libraries.

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 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

Testing

  • Unit test public methods and edge cases. Cover the public surface of each unit, including boundary conditions, empty/zero inputs, and error paths — not just the happy path.
  • Use property-based testing where applicable. When behavior holds over a range of inputs (round-trips, invariants, ordering, idempotence), assert the property over generated inputs rather than enumerating examples by hand.
  • Prefer hand-rolled fakes/in-memory implementations over mocking frameworks.
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.

testing is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository Jacoby6000/Smithplates (2 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 124 tokens to every session, about $0.0006 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.
