nw-ad-critique-dimensions

nw-ad-critique-dimensions is a skill for Claude Code from nWave-ai/nWave. It costs 53 tokens per session (2,140 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist for reviewing acceptance tests, which describe expected user-visible behavior, before they are handed to developers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check Given-When-Then scenarios, business wording, coverage, priorities, observable results, and links between requirements and tests.
Why use it?
It reveals missing error cases, unclear scenarios, technical wording, and behavior that cannot be checked from the outside.

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

nw-ad-critique-dimensions 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 11d 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.

Acceptance Test Critique Dimensions

Load when performing peer review of acceptance tests (during *handoff-develop).

Dimension 1: Happy Path Bias

Pattern: Only successful scenarios, error paths missing.

Detection: Count success vs error scenarios. Error should be at least 40%. Missing coverage examples: login success but no invalid password | Payment processed but no decline/timeout | Search results but no empty/error cases.

Severity: blocker (production error handling untested).

Dimension 2: GWT Format Compliance

Pattern: Scenarios violate Given-When-Then structure.

Violations: Missing Given context | Multiple When actions (split into separate scenarios) | Then with technical assertions instead of business outcomes. Each scenario: Given (context), When (single action), Then (observable outcome).

Severity: high (tests not behavior-driven).

Dimension 3: Business Language Purity

Pattern: Technical terms leak into acceptance tests.

Flag: database, API, HTTP, REST, JSON, classes, methods, services, controllers, status codes (500, 404), infrastructure (Redis, Kafka, Lambda).

Business alternatives: "Customer data is stored" not "Database persists record" | "Order is confirmed" not "API returns 200 OK" | "Payment fails" not "Gateway throws exception"

Severity: high (tests coupled to implementation).

Dimension 4: Coverage Completeness

Pattern: User stories lack acceptance test coverage.

Validation: Map each story to scenarios | Verify all AC have corresponding tests | Confirm edge cases and boundaries tested.

Severity: blocker (unverified requirements).

Dimension 5: Walking Skeleton User-Centricity

Pattern: Walking skeletons describe technical layer connectivity instead of user value.

Detection litmus test for @walking_skeleton scenarios:

  • Title describes user goal or technical flow?
  • Then steps describe user observations or internal side effects?
  • Could non-technical stakeholder confirm "yes, that is what users need"?

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.
