Use when reviewing Go test code (new or changed *_test.go files, test harnesses, fixtures, or test tooling) for a Go-test-expert pass — behavior-over-surface, determinism, parallel-safety, build-tag correctness, and harness reuse. Complements the general code-reviewer with test-specific rigor.

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

# /evo:golang-test-review

A focused Go-test-engineering review. Run it over the changed `*_test.go` files
(and any test harness / fixtures / test tooling) **after** writing tests and
before merge. It does not replace `code-reviewer` — it adds the test-specific
lens that general review misses.

## How to run

1. Identify the changed test surface: `git diff --stat <base>...HEAD -- '*_test.go' 'go/test/**' 'go/cmd/testlatency/**'`.
2. Read each changed test file and score it against the checklist below.
3. Report findings by severity (CRITICAL / HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW), each with
   `file:line`, the rule violated, and a concrete fix. End with a verdict:
   APPROVE (no CRITICAL/HIGH) / CHANGES-REQUESTED.

## Checklist

### 1. Behavior over surface (the highest-signal rule)
- Does the test pin the **invariant under change**, or just re-walk lines for
  coverage? A test that would still pass if the behavior broke is a no-op —
  flag it CRITICAL. (AGENTS.md Rule 9.)
- Are assertions specific (exact value / error) rather than "not nil" / "len > 0"
  where an exact check is possible?
- Negative + edge cases present, not only the happy path?

### 2. Determinism (non-negotiable)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mickeyyaya/evolve-loop/golang-test-review@sha256:c6de70bc7620d944

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260624.c286c01, 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.
