add_tests SKILL.md skillA

add_tests from linkerdog/rara is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add linkerdog/rara/add_tests@git:20260512.3a03083

Pins git:20260512.3a03083 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Add or update tests for the RARA codebase. Use when implementing non-trivial behavior changes, fixing regressions, tightening TUI rendering, or adding repo-specific test coverage in Rust. Especially relevant for focused unit tests, TUI snapshot tests, agent/runtime regressions, and behavior-driven test updates in this repository.

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

# Add Tests For RARA

Use this skill when a change in `rara` needs test coverage or when an existing failing behavior should be captured with a regression test.

## Goals

- Prefer focused, behavior-driven tests over broad integration churn.
- Capture the real regression first, then add only enough setup to make the failure explicit.
- Keep tests aligned with the repository's TUI, runtime, and local-first architecture.

## Default Testing Strategy

For a non-trivial change, choose the narrowest useful test surface:

1. Pure helper logic:
   - Add a unit test next to the helper.
   - Prefer direct function assertions.

2. TUI event or state transitions:
   - Add tests in `src/tui/runtime/events.rs`, `src/tui/state.rs`, or the nearest focused module.
   - Assert on structured state, not incidental strings, unless the visible text is the contract.

3. TUI rendering contracts:
   - Use focused render tests in `src/tui/render/*`.
   - Use snapshot tests when layout, ordering, labels, or visual grouping are the contract.
   - Keep snapshots stable and intentionally small.

4. Agent / planning / transcript regressions:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add linkerdog/rara/add_tests@sha256:62f05dbd704270e8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260512.3a03083, 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.
