mutation-testing skillA

mutation-testing is agent-read markdown (skill) from vmobifystudio/app-dev-team: Use when adding or reviewing a gate, guard rule, CI grep, or test assertion in this plugin's own scripts — and whenever a suite is green and you need to know whether that means anything. Runs scripts/mutate.sh, which breaks the code on purpose and reports which assertions failed to notice. Triggers from code-reviewer, verification-engineer, and any change under scripts/ or hooks/..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Mutation testing

`defect-hunting` §3 says a new rule is not done until you have watched it fail, in three steps. That
instruction was followed by hand, when someone remembered. On 2026-07-29 the suite read
**385 passed, 0 failed** while containing a `grep -E` with a PCRE lookahead (a syntax error, stderr
to `/dev/null`, `|| ok` every time), two doctor assertions that a demoted gate could not turn red,
and a hook that stood down in exactly the incident it was written for.

**A green suite is evidence only to the extent its assertions can go red.** `scripts/mutate.sh` is
that, executable.

## Running it

```sh
sh scripts/mutate.sh                # all 16 catalogued mutations (~1 min each — the whole suite runs)
sh scripts/mutate.sh --list         # the catalogue, plus what it cannot test and why
sh scripts/mutate.sh --only M04     # one mutation, while you iterate on an assertion
sh scripts/mutate.sh --sample 4     # what CI runs on every PR
```

Exit `0` all caught · `1` something SURVIVED · `2` could not run (baseline not green, anchor drifted).

Three verdicts matter:

- **CAUGHT (n assertions)** — the gate bites.
