test-discipline

test-discipline is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dotnet/maui-labs. It costs 12 tokens per session (413 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of test-discipline, MIT.

A testing rule that requires tests to be updated whenever a public API or counted project resource changes. An API is the interface other code uses to call a function or feature.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing function signatures, exported interfaces, documentation pages, features, scenarios, or expected file counts.
Why use it?
It prevents stale tests from failing continuous integration, the automated system that checks changes before they are accepted.

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

test-discipline 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.

What it actually says

Context

When APIs or public interfaces change, tests must be updated in the same commit. When test assertions reference file counts or expected arrays, they must be kept in sync with disk reality. Stale tests block CI for other contributors.

Patterns

  • API changes → test updates (same commit): If you change a function signature, public interface, or exported API, update the corresponding tests before committing
  • Test assertions → disk reality: When test files contain expected counts (e.g., EXPECTED_FEATURES, EXPECTED_SCENARIOS), they must match the actual files on disk
  • Add files → update assertions: When adding docs pages, features, or any counted resource, update the test assertion array in the same commit
  • CI failures → check assertions first: Before debugging complex failures, verify test assertion arrays match filesystem state

Examples

Correct:

  • Changed auth API signature → updated auth.test.ts in same commit
  • Added distributed-mesh.md to features/ → added 'distributed-mesh' to EXPECTED_FEATURES array
  • Deleted two scenario files → removed entries from EXPECTED_SCENARIOS

Incorrect:

  • Changed spawn parameters → committed without updating casting.test.ts (CI breaks for next person)
  • Added built-in-roles.md → left EXPECTED_FEATURES at old count (PR blocked)
  • Test says "expected 7 files" but disk has 25 (assertion staleness)

Anti-Patterns

  • Committing API changes without test updates ("I'll fix tests later")
  • Treating test assertion arrays as static (they evolve with content)
  • Assuming CI passing means coverage is correct (stale assertions can pass while being wrong)
  • Leaving gaps for other agents to discover
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.
