fitness-functions SKILL.md skillA

fitness-functions from andreibesleaga/gabbe is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add andreibesleaga/gabbe/fitness-functions@git:20261014.de0823c

Pins git:20261014.de0823c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Define objective, measurable tests for architectural characteristics and wire them into CI as automated, continuous architecture governance. Use when: write architecture fitness functions, measure architectural characteristics, enforce layering rules in ci, set a latency budget test, atomic vs holistic fitness function, catch architectural drift automatically.

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

# Fitness Functions

## Goal
Make architecture an executable, enforced thing rather than a diagram that rots. A *fitness
function* is an objective, measurable test of an architectural characteristic — the
evolutionary-architecture mechanism for governing the "-ilities" the same way unit tests
govern logic. Where a unit test asserts a feature works, a fitness function asserts a
*structural property* holds: cyclomatic complexity stays under a limit, the domain layer never
imports infrastructure, p99 latency stays inside its budget, afferent/efferent coupling stays
bounded. Wired into CI, fitness functions turn architectural intent into automated governance
that fails the build the moment the system drifts away from its target characteristics.

## Steps
1. **Name the architectural characteristic to protect.** Pick one measurable "-ility" the
   architecture must preserve (maintainability, performance, modularity, security boundary,
   scalability). Vague goals cannot be governed — "should be maintainable" is not a fitness
   function; "no module may have efferent coupling above 20" is.
2. **Define the objective, measurable test.** Translate the characteristic into a pass/fail

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add andreibesleaga/gabbe/fitness-functions@sha256:794437babd27348f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.de0823c, 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.
