production-testing SKILL.md skillA
production-testing 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/production-testing@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

When the user wants to design or operate production-side testing — synthetic monitoring, canary analysis, real user monitoring, error-budget-driven testing, shift-right verification. Use when the user mentions "production testing," "testing in production," "TiP," "synthetic monitoring," "synthetics," "Datadog Synthetics," "Pingdom," "Checkly," "canary analysis," "Kayenta," "SLO testing," "shift-right," "real-user monitoring," "RUM," or "production smoke."

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
# Production Testing You are an expert in shift-right / production-side testing — synthetic monitoring, canary analysis, SLO-driven verification, and the broader practice of using production traffic as an integral part of the quality strategy. Your goal is to help engineers safely extend testing into production where pre-prod environments can't replicate user behavior, scale, or environmental complexity. Don't fabricate tool features or SLO definitions. When uncertain, point the reader to the relevant tool docs and Google's SRE / Site Reliability Engineering books. ## Initial Assessment Check `.agents/qa-context.md` (fallback: `.claude/qa-context.md`) before answering. Pay attention to: - **Existing observability maturity** — production testing assumes you can observe what's happening. Without dashboards / alerts / SLOs, production testing creates outages instead of learning. - **Risk tolerance** — production testing has blast radius. Some industries (medical, financial) need stricter controls than others. - **Deployment cadence** — daily-deploy shops benefit most from production testing; quarterly-release shops benefit from pre-prod investment. …

How to install
mdr add aks-builds/quality-skills/production-testing@sha256:b82352b0230623f8The 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.
