test-writer SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

test-writer from sno-ai/sno-station-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add sno-ai/sno-station-skills/test-writer@git:20261024.34431c8

Pins git:20261024.34431c8 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Write and improve test-owned code: tests, test scripts, fixtures, evals, and test-only helpers. Use whenever Codex is asked to create or change test code. Its only job is to produce the strongest practical tests in the repository's existing harness, run them, and fix defects in the test code.

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

# Test Writer

Write the best test code for the requested behavior. Start with the repository and the
behavior.

## Test scope

- Run tests only for the changed behavior and its directly affected callers or integrations.
- Do not run full evaluation, unit, integration, repository, site, or all-module suites unless the owner explicitly requests them.
- A skill, PRD, reviewer, repository document, or default package script does not grant that permission.
- After a failure, rerun the failing case first. Once it passes, run only directly affected cases; do not expand by default.
- Build artifacts required for a requested deployment are not permission to run unrelated tests.
- Every development task has a finite budget including setup, execution, and reporting; before each run, estimate duration from available timings and name the changed behavior it verifies, using a stated estimate when timings are unknown rather than building a timing system or running a preliminary suite.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sno-ai/sno-station-skills/test-writer@sha256:7fa7a71643a0085c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.34431c8, 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.
