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
# BDD Testing ## When to Use Use this skill when behavior needs to be specified and validated in shared, business-readable scenarios. ## When Not to Use Do not use BDD feature files for low-level unit behavior that is internal and not stakeholder-facing. ## Core Principles 1. Specify observable behavior, not implementation details. 2. Keep a shared language across product, engineering, and QA. 3. Scenarios should be deterministic and independently executable. 4. Feature files should remain readable by non-developers. ## Deterministic Workflow 1. Align on examples in a Three Amigos discussion. 2. Write scenarios in Gherkin using Given/When/Then. 3. Implement step definitions that map to business language. 4. Execute Cucumber and review failures by scenario intent. - **Validation checkpoint:** If scenarios fail due to incorrect business logic, loop back to step 2 to clarify requirements. - **Validation checkpoint:** If scenarios fail due to step definition errors or missing steps, loop back to step 3 to fix implementation. - **Error recovery:** Run `npx cucumber-js --dry-run` to identify missing step definitions before full execution. …

How to install
mdr add pantheon-org/tekhne/bdd-testing@sha256:320b54ad09c96fd8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.d128b5f, 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.
