coding-styleguide-testing

A set of rules for testing JavaScript and TypeScript code. It focuses on small tests that check observable behavior, interface contracts, edge cases, and failure handling.

In plain words
What is it for?
Organizing test files and cases, covering normal inputs and boundaries, checking errors and type variations, and testing exported functions, classes, and values.
Why use it?
It helps test suites catch regressions without depending too closely on internal implementation details.

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

coding-styleguide-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.

Testing

General principle

Important: Aim for the smallest high-value test set that protects behavior, interface contracts, invariants, and regression-prone paths. Focus on testing behavior rather than implementation details.

Structure & Organization

  • Order of tests: Match the order of tests to the order of symbols in the source file
  • One describe per export: Provide a describe block for each exported symbol (function, class, constant)
  • Hierarchical grouping: Use nested describe() blocks - outer for function/class, inner for scenarios
  • Logical categorization: Group by behavior, input type, or state (e.g., "with valid input", "error handling")
  • Each it() should test a single behavior
  • Put setup hooks and test cases first; keep local helper functions and fixtures at the bottom of the file

Test Coverage

  • Happy path: Test expected behavior with typical inputs
  • Edge cases: Test boundaries, empty values, maximum/minimum values
  • Error scenarios: Test all failure modes with proper error type/message validation
  • Type variations: Test all relevant data types (primitives, objects, arrays, functions)
  • Falsy values: Explicitly test null, undefined, 0, "", false, NaN

Type Safety

  • Type annotations: Include explicit types in test variables to verify inference
  • Compile-time checks: Some tests exist just to verify type compatibility
  • Type tests for generics: Add type tests for generic functions, classes, etc. Use the test runner's type testing tool when available (e.g. with Vitest: expectTypeOf)

Best Practices

  • Descriptive names: Use clear it() descriptions stating expected behavior
  • Avoid "should" phrasing in it(): Use verbs like "does" or "returns" to describe behavior
  • Isolation: Each test should be independent and not rely on others
  • Arrange-Act-Assert: Follow AAA pattern for test structure
  • DRY with helpers: Extract repetitive setup into helper functions
  • Use real-life examples and descriptive names for test data

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.

coding-styleguide-testing is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository peerigon/configs (4 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 546 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 2026-08-31.
