GAIA's multi-tier regression harness — runs unit, integration, and real-world (on-machine) tiers and brings back screenshots, logs, traces, planted-fact retrieval proof, and per-operation timing with anomaly flags, all collected to the local machine (no remote login needed to view). It carries GAIA's drivers (Agent UI, Agent UI MCP), exact commands, ports, and `gaia eval agent` baselines, and extends (does not replace) the generic `testing` skill. Fires when the user wants real-world /…

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

# GAIA Testing

Test the way that catches regressions `pytest` misses: **unit → integration → real-world**, where the real-world tier drives the *real* interface on *real* hardware and returns screenshots, logs, traces, and timing as evidence. Features ship broken while CI is green — a RAG feature that worked in the backend but was hard-blocked in the UI, a release-note claim about a CLI command the source flatly contradicted. **Runtime observation plus source cross-checking is the point.**

**This is the GAIA specialization of the generic `testing` skill** — the same surface→evidence discipline, wired to GAIA's drivers: the Agent UI via Playwright (`gaia chat --ui`), the Agent UI MCP (`gaia mcp serve`), Lemonade ports, and `gaia eval agent` baselines. It extends that skill; it does not supersede it.

## Roles — the strongest model plans & judges, a faster model executes

- **Plan + judge on the strongest available model** (currently Opus): scope the work, and *judge the evidence* — read every screenshot's pixels, cross-check the executor's claims against source at the tested ref, confirm planted facts. The executor's report is a claim, never trusted on its face.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add amd/gaia/gaia-testing@sha256:e6def989377d33c7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.1b15173, 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.
