testing

Rules for developing a command-line tool with specifications, unit tests, and integration tests. Test-driven development means writing a failing test before the code that makes it pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
Defining CLI behavior, writing unit and integration tests, implementing features through a spec-driven workflow, and verifying changes before committing.
Why use it?
They reduce the risk that a feature works in isolated code but fails when the command-line tool is used as a whole.

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.

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 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.

Testing Rules

Testing Philosophy

reskill uses a two-layer testing strategy to ensure code quality and functionality:

Test Type Purpose Frequency
Unit Tests Ensure code quality and logic correctness Run continuously during development
Integration Tests Ensure CLI API usability Must pass before commit

Core Principle: Integration tests are the ultimate guarantee of functionality. Unit tests may all pass, but if integration tests fail, users will encounter issues in actual use.

Spec-Driven TDD Workflow

All CLI feature development must follow the Spec-Driven TDD workflow (see docs/cli-spec.md):

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  1. SPEC      Modify docs/cli-spec.md to define expected behavior│
│  2. REVIEW    Review spec changes                                │
│  3. TEST      Write failing tests based on spec (RED)            │
│  4. CODE      Write minimal code to pass tests (GREEN)           │
│  5. REFACTOR  Refactor and optimize, keep tests passing          │
│  6. VERIFY    pnpm test:run && pnpm test:integration             │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Benefits of Test-First Approach

Benefit Description
Spec as Documentation docs/cli-spec.md is the single source of truth for command behavior
Tests as Specification Test code verifies correct implementation of spec
Prevent Regression Any breaking changes will be caught by tests
Design-Driven Think about interfaces first, then implement details

Example: Adding --dry-run Option

# Step 1: Modify docs/cli-spec.md, add --dry-run option definition
# Step 2: PR Review spec changes
# Step 3: Write failing tests
#   - src/cli/commands/__integration__/install-*.test.ts (integration)
#   - src/cli/commands/install.test.ts (unit)
# Step 4: Implement --dry-run logic
# Step 5: Refactor code
# Step 6: Verify all tests pass

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 kanyun-inc/reskill (59 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,287 tokens to every session, about $0.0114 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 2026-08-30.
