testing-business-rules

testing-business-rules is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from luabagg/agent-skills. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,233 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing tests around business rules and meaningful behavior. It treats a test as protection for a contract—such as validation, authorization, data integrity, ordering, retries, or a known regression—not merely a record of how code is currently written.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding, reviewing, or removing tests, deciding whether a function needs coverage, and choosing which branches or edge cases deserve assertions.
Why use it?
It reduces tests that only repeat implementation details or add many input variations without a distinct risk. This makes coverage more focused on failures that matter to users and systems.

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-business-rules 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 19d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Testing Business Rules

A test earns its place by protecting a meaningful behavior or contract, not by demonstrating today's implementation. A rule can be a product decision, a technical guarantee, or a consumer expectation.

Quick reference

Keep coverage for Reject or reshape
Domain behavior, API/provider contracts, numeric or ordering guarantees Assertions that merely restate the implementation
Validation, authorization, privacy, data integrity Input permutations with no distinct risk
Idempotency, retries, discard policies, persistence and queue integration Private helper calls or incidental call order
Observed regressions, including obvious mistakes Duplicate coverage with no additional failure detection
Boundaries with a named consequence Snapshots that freeze incidental output

Currency rounding can be a contract even when it uses simple arithmetic. Coverage metrics reveal gaps; they do not justify tests.

Procedure

1. Name the rule before writing the test

Record these in the test plan or review, not as boilerplate comments:

Rule: an empty tenant ID must never grant access to another tenant's records.
Established in: tenant-isolation security contract.
Failure: a caller reads another tenant's private records.

Find evidence in requirements, API documentation, callers, history, or incidents, not current output alone. Missing evidence requires investigation with owners and consumers, not coverage removal. Temporary characterization tests can support legacy refactoring; label unconfirmed assumptions instead of declaring permanent contracts.

2. Find the coverage gap

Identify the wrong behavior this test would catch. Compare failure modes, not lines executed: happy-path coverage does not cover an authorization bypass.

Keep regressions that protect valid rules and add detection, including obvious mistakes, manually detectable bugs, and bad decisions.

3. Choose the smallest honest boundary

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.
