php-testing skillA
php-testing is agent-read markdown (skill) from fusengine/agents: Use when writing/configuring tests on a non-Laravel PHP project — PHPUnit vs Pest. Do NOT use for Laravel test helpers or quality tooling (php-quality-tooling)..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
<objective> Covers testing a framework-agnostic PHP project with PHPUnit 12 (class-based, xUnit-style, attributes only — annotations like @test/@dataProvider were removed) or Pest 4 (closure-based, expressive, adds browser/architecture/mutation testing), both of which run on PHPUnit's engine and require PHP 8.3+. Includes a decision matrix for choosing between the two (team preference, not capability), plus templates for phpunit.xml, Pest.php setup, and test doubles (stubs, mocks, fixtures, coverage). Do NOT use this skill for Laravel test helpers such as RefreshDatabase or HTTP testing — those are covered by laravel-expert's laravel-testing skill. Do NOT use it for static analysis or formatting tooling — that is php-quality-tooling. </objective> # PHP Testing Two frameworks, one engine. Pest is a layer over PHPUnit — both need **PHP 8.3+** and share the same runner and assertions underneath. ## Agent Workflow (MANDATORY) Before ANY implementation, spawn 3 agents in parallel, one `Agent` call each with a `name`: 1. **fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase** - Detect existing framework (phpunit.xml vs Pest.php), test layout, PHP version …

How to install
mdr add fusengine/agents/php-testing@git:20260904.5f1d30fmdr add fusengine/agents/php-testing@sha256:f0f47796f04699f5Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
