cratis-specs-csharp

cratis-specs-csharp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Cratis/VerticalSlices. It costs 101 tokens per session (1,952 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of cratis-specs-csharp, MIT.

A guide for writing C# tests in Cratis, an event-based application framework, using behavior-driven development (BDD): describe the setup, action, and expected result in a readable folder structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to structure unit or integration tests, choose between in-process and external scenarios, organize `for`/`when`/`and` folders, and use NSubstitute to replace dependencies in tests.
Why use it?
It helps developers choose the right test type and keep tests understandable while checking commands, event handling, projections, reducers, and other application behavior.

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

cratis-specs-csharp 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 4d 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.

Origin

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 207 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Core philosophy

Specs are executable documentation — the folder tree reads like a spec sheet. Favor readability over DRY. Each spec file has:

  • One action under test (Because)
  • One setup (Establish)
  • One or more focused assertions (should_*)

Step 1 — Choose the spec type

Lead with the in-process scenario family (fast, infrastructure-free — the default for slice behavior); reserve out-of-process Chronicle integration specs for host/transport boundaries they can't reach. Every spec file is wrapped in #if DEBUG … #endif. Full reference: the universal base in specs.csharp.md and the application *Scenario family in specs.scenarios.csharp.md.

Scenario Spec type
State Change slice (command → events) CommandScenario<TCommand> — runs validators + Provide() + Handle() + appended events
State View slice (projection / reducer) ReadModelScenario<TReadModel>
Constraints / raw append & concurrency semantics EventScenario
Automation / Translation (reactor) ReactorScenario<TReactor>
Isolated unit logic (no I/O) Unit spec in for_<ClassName>/
Host / transport / real-infra boundary (advanced) out-of-process Chronicle integration spec
Complex setup shared across many specs Reusable context in given/

Step 2 — Create the folder structure

for_<ClassName>/
├── given/
│   ├── all_dependencies.cs       ← mocks all deps, inherits Specification
│   └── a_<system_under_test>.cs  ← creates SUT, inherits all_dependencies
├── when_<behavior>/              ← behavior with multiple outcomes
│   ├── and_<condition>.cs
│   └── with_<state>.cs
└── when_<simple_behavior>.cs     ← single outcome = single file

Folder/file names read as English sentences:

  • for_Changeset / when_adding_changes / and_there_are_differences
  • for_AuthorService / when_registering / and_name_already_exists

Step 3 — Write a spec

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.
