cognitive-testing SKILL.md skillA
cognitive-testing from andreibesleaga/gabbe is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add andreibesleaga/gabbe/cognitive-testing@git:20261014.de0823cPins git:20261014.de0823c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Test cognitive and agentic loops by their mechanisms and invariants rather than by output-equality. Use when: cognitive testing, invariant testing, convergence testing, episodic memory integrity, shadow testing, loop guard, brain mode testing.
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
# Cognitive Testing Skill ## Goal Test cognitive/agentic loops (Brain Mode active-inference, Loki swarm orchestration) by their MECHANISMS and INVARIANTS rather than by output-equality. You cannot predict what an autonomous loop decides, but you can BOUND it: assert the invariants it must never violate, the convergence it should exhibit, the memory it must retrieve faithfully, and the guards that must fire under stress. ## Steps 1. **Invariant-bounded state verification** - Assert mutually-exclusive states never co-exist (e.g. a workspace cannot be both `DEV_READY` and `INFRA_MISSING`). - Assert budget/cost invariants always hold (spend never exceeds the cap). - Assert illegal state transitions never occur (no jump that skips a required gate). 2. **Convergence testing** - For an active-inference / error-minimizing loop, assert prediction error is non-increasing / converges over N iterations. - Test the toy demo HONESTLY: GABBE's production `brain.py` uses epsilon-greedy gene selection plus a monotonic `success_rate`, NOT literal free-energy math. Convergence claims therefore apply to the CONCEPTUAL / toy loop only, never to the production engine. …

How to install
mdr add andreibesleaga/gabbe/cognitive-testing@sha256:dfa0b6959085ffc8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.de0823c, 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.
