mcaf-testing

A testing workflow for adding or updating automated checks in a code repository. It follows the repository's AGENTS.md instructions, which are local rules for working on that project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write regression or integration tests, run the relevant test suites, and report concrete verification evidence.
Why use it?
It helps ensure a feature, bug fix, or refactor is checked against the project's own verification requirements.

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

mcaf-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 113 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

MCAF: Testing

Trigger On

  • implementing a feature or bugfix
  • adding a regression test for a failure
  • protecting a refactor with automated verification

Value

  • produce a concrete project delta: code, docs, config, tests, CI, or review artifact
  • reduce ambiguity through explicit planning, verification, and final validation skills
  • leave reusable project context so future tasks are faster and safer

Do Not Use For

  • repo-wide delivery policy with no test change
  • documentation-only changes unless they alter executable verification

Inputs

  • the nearest AGENTS.md
  • the changed behaviour and touched boundaries
  • existing tests near the impacted code path

Quick Start

  1. Read the nearest AGENTS.md and confirm scope and constraints.
  2. Run this skill's Workflow through the Ralph Loop until outcomes are acceptable.
  3. Return the Required Result Format with concrete artifacts and verification evidence.

Workflow

  1. Read the repo’s real verification commands from AGENTS.md.
  2. Start with a failing test first when the change adds behaviour or fixes a bug.
  3. Start with the smallest meaningful test scope:
    • new or changed tests
    • related suite
    • broader regressions
  4. When the stack is .NET, use the external .NET skills from the Managed Code Skills catalog, use mcaf-dotnet as the orchestration skill when the task spans code, tests, and verification, and route framework mechanics through exactly one matching skill:
    • mcaf-dotnet-xunit
    • mcaf-dotnet-tunit
    • mcaf-dotnet-mstest
  5. Prefer integration, API, or UI coverage when behaviour crosses boundaries.
  6. Prove the user flow or caller-visible system flow, not just internal details.
  7. Add a regression test for every bug that can be captured reliably.
  8. If the stack is .NET and production code changed, do not stop at tests only. Finish with the repo-defined format and analyzer pass as well.
  9. Use deeper testing references only when the repo’s current strategy is unclear.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

mcaf-testing is a skill published in the GitHub repository managedcode/PrompterOne (42 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 1,130 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
