Choose testing approaches and audit test coverage. Use when the task focuses on writing or revising tests, diagnosing flaky tests, reducing suite cost, or planning verification. Do not invoke for routine code changes or bug fixes unless testing is an explicit focus.
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
# Testing Strategy Establish confidence proportionate to the consequences of failure, then minimize the total cost of obtaining and maintaining it. Coverage and test counts help identify gaps; they are not targets. ## Choose the verification Identify the intended behavior and inspect existing coverage. Use repository scripts and configuration as the authority for running checks. Resolve material uncertainty about the contract before encoding an expectation. Choose the least costly checks that exercise the behavior and the boundaries where it can fail: - Use types and static checks for guarantees they can enforce. - Prefer unit tests for focused logic and integration tests for collaborating code. - Use the real environment for layout, rendering, and platform behavior. - Exercise the changed user journey when narrower checks cannot establish that it works. Critical behavior may warrant complementary checks at several layers. Low-risk edits do not automatically need new tests or a build. Runtime input, configuration, protocol, and schema checks remain useful when they enforce a real contract beyond static guarantees. …

How to install
mdr add transitive-bullshit/skills/testing-strategy@sha256:53ec8a3b55fe95feThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.0333997, 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.
