Write tests that can actually fail, by withholding the acceptance criteria from the agent that writes the code. Use when someone does not trust a suite that passes. Use when they want tests written from a specification rather than from the code. Use when they ask whether a specification is testable, or want an existing suite scored by planting faults in the code. Python modules, through the qikly tool. Also use whenever qikly or spec-driven testing is mentioned.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# qikly: tests written from a spec the coder never read

> **If you read one thing here, read this.** Asked for tests for a module with
> no specification: do not write tests, and do not run the module to find out
> what it should do. A value obtained by executing an implementation is not a
> contract. A suite built from those values passes by construction and cannot
> disagree with a bug, because the bug is what it was written from. Say that in
> one sentence, then offer the two routes in *The request this arrives as*.
>
> **Four things look settled and are not:** whether a threshold is inclusive,
> whether a discount applies before or after tax, where a floor or cap lands,
> which way a half-cent rounds. An implementation answers all four. None of
> those answers is a specification. Ask the user. Do not read them off the code.
>
> **If they insist on tests anyway, write them.** Refusing a second time is
> not your call. Say which lines of the implementation you had to treat as
> correct, name every boundary and tie-break you copied rather than were
> told, and the suite is at least honest about its foundation.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gal-a/qikly/qikly@sha256:57088d498235a086

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.3.7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
