nw-distill-port-treatment-policy SKILL.md skillA
nw-distill-port-treatment-policy from nwave-ai/nwave is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add nwave-ai/nwave/nw-distill-port-treatment-policy@git:20261102.c67d57bPins git:20261102.c67d57b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Port-to-port acceptance criteria + the Architecture of Reference (port-class → test treatment) + the Project Infrastructure Policy (concrete mechanism per port) + the walking-skeleton canonical definition and not-applicable exemptions. Consult while classifying a port's test treatment and the concrete mechanism for this codebase.
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 Port Treatment + Infrastructure Policy (KNOWLEDGE)
**Kind**: KNOWLEDGE (reference). No forced sequence — consulted on its trigger.
**Trigger**: you are classifying a port → test treatment (real vs fake) and choosing the concrete mechanism for THIS codebase (Testcontainers vs dedicated env vs in-memory; which fake class), or determining walking-skeleton applicability. Composed by `nw-distill`.
## Reasoning Mandate (Caveman)
Verdict-first, tables over prose, evidence-dense, zero narrative. Depth comes from rigor, not padding. State the conclusion, then the supporting evidence; never bury the verdict under exposition.
## Acceptance Criteria: Port-to-Port Principle
Every AC MUST name the driving port (entry point) exercising the behavior → port-to-port ATs → TBU (Tested But Unwired) defects structurally impossible.
Each AC:
1. **Observable outcome**: what user/system sees
2. **Driving port**: entry point triggering the behavior (service, handler, endpoint, CLI command)
No driving port → crafter can write correct code never wired into the system.
**Features**: "When user {action} via {driving_port}, {observable_outcome}"

How to install
mdr add nwave-ai/nwave/nw-distill-port-treatment-policy@sha256:e21c4d97f4d10a5cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.c67d57b, 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.
