Acceptance test creation methodology for the DISTILL wave. Domain knowledge for the acceptance designer agent: port-to-port principle, prior wave reading, wave-decision reconciliation, graceful degradation, and document back-propagation.
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
# DISTILL Methodology: Acceptance Test Creation This skill provides the acceptance designer's methodology for creating acceptance tests. The orchestrator controls the overall flow (agent dispatch, review gate, handoff) -- this skill focuses on HOW to create good acceptance tests. ## LANGUAGE CONVENTION FRAME (read FIRST — overrides all examples below) **Code examples in this skill use Python syntax for illustration only.** They are NOT prescriptive about target language. nWave is language-agnostic per the "genericity and agnosticism" mandate (2026-05-24). **Before authoring ATs**, detect the target project's language from these manifest files (in order): - `package.json` → TypeScript / JavaScript (jest, vitest, cucumber-js, playwright) - `Cargo.toml` → Rust (cargo test, proptest, cucumber-rust) - `go.mod` → Go (testing, ginkgo, godog) - `pyproject.toml` / `setup.py` / `Pipfile` → Python (pytest, pytest-bdd, hypothesis) - `pom.xml` / `build.gradle` → Java / Kotlin (JUnit5, Cucumber-JVM, jqwik) - `*.csproj` / `*.fsproj` → C# / F# (xUnit, SpecFlow, FsCheck) - `Gemfile` → Ruby (RSpec, Cucumber-Ruby) - `Package.swift` → Swift (XCTest, swift-testing) …

How to install
mdr add nwave-ai/nwave/nw-distill@sha256:85756f7beca4fe7fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260825.15011e6, 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.
