Improve test value and feedback cost when auditing slow, flaky, redundant or brittle tests; choosing tests during implementation; or reviewing test changes before a commit or PR. Keep ordinary implementation and pre-commit use scoped to the affected behavior, not a repository-wide audit.

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 Value

Protect outcomes worth preserving at a cost proportionate to their risk. Test counts, coverage percentages and green runs are evidence, not substitutes for product judgment. When an AI writes both implementation and tests, check whether they share the same mistaken assumption.

## Choose the scope

Preserve the user's existing authorization and operational boundaries.

- **Audit existing tests:** investigate cost, false alarms and protection within the requested scope. An audit request is read-only; an optimization request permits scoped changes. Read [audit.md](references/audit.md).
- **Implementation or pre-commit review:** examine the behavior being changed and its affected tests. Decide whether to add, adapt, reuse or remove tests. Reviewing before a commit does not itself authorize committing or pushing.
- **Diagnose a failure:** identify the outcome the failing check protects, then distinguish a product regression, obsolete assertion, environment failure or unstable test. Keep a narrowly requested fix narrow.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tt-a1i/test-value/test-value@sha256:db4402e18f1c8685

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.914255b, 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.
