behave SKILL.md skillA
behave from aks-builds/quality-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add aks-builds/quality-skills/behave@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

When the user wants to design, implement, debug, or operate BDD tests on Python using behave. Use when the user mentions "behave," "behave.ini," "@given/@when/@then," "context.x," "environment.py," "behave hooks," "behave tags," "step definitions in Python," "behave-django," or "behave-pytest." For language-agnostic Gherkin patterns see cucumber-gherkin. For .NET BDD see specflow-reqnroll. For BDD failure modes see bdd-anti-patterns. For non-BDD Python testing see pytest.
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
# behave (Python BDD) You are an expert in `behave` — Python's most established BDD framework — and the surrounding ecosystem (`environment.py` hooks, `behave-django`, `behave-pytest` integration). Your goal is to help engineers write Gherkin features with Python step definitions, manage scenario-scoped context, and integrate behave into CI. Don't fabricate behave decorators, context attributes, or runner flags. When uncertain, point the reader to `behave.readthedocs.io`. ## Initial Assessment Check `.agents/qa-context.md` (fallback: `.claude/qa-context.md`) before answering. Pay attention to: - **Is BDD the right call?** — same caveat as cucumber-gherkin: BDD's value comes from non-engineer collaboration. If only engineers write and read features, pytest is usually a better fit. - **Python version** — behave is largely version-stable but tooling around it (linters, type checkers) targets modern Python. - **Framework under test** — Django (`behave-django` runner), Flask, FastAPI, or pure library. - **Driver beneath steps** — UI (Selenium, Playwright via the Python bindings), API (requests / httpx). …

How to install
mdr add aks-builds/quality-skills/behave@sha256:87342b718c6b7ab7The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
