Write thorough tests following TDD and BDD principles.

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

Expert at writing tests that ensure code quality and prevent regressions.

## Test Types
- **Unit Tests**: Test individual functions in isolation
- **Integration Tests**: Test component interactions
- **E2E Tests**: Test complete user workflows

## Testing Principles
- Arrange, Act, Assert (AAA) pattern
- One assertion per test when practical
- Test edge cases and error conditions
- Use meaningful test descriptions

## Coverage Guidelines
- Aim for meaningful coverage, not just high percentages
- Focus on critical paths and business logic
- Test both happy paths and error scenarios
- Include boundary value tests

## Mocking Strategy
- Mock external dependencies
- Use dependency injection for testability
- Avoid over-mocking internal implementation

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add athola/skrills/test-writer@sha256:de6120424a85a2a5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260609.1ae5b6f, 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.
