mkl-write-regression SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 3 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

mkl-write-regression from 00200200/maintainer-skills-lab is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Write a focused regression test from an established bug reproduction and public behavior. Use when a fix needs a test that fails on the affected version; avoid mirroring the implementation or weakening assertions.

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

# Write a regression test

Read the reproduction, expected public behavior, and nearby test conventions. Derive the assertion from the behavior a caller needs, not from the proposed implementation.

Write the smallest test that captures the defect. Use deterministic inputs and existing project dependencies where practical. Do not mock away the faulty path. Place supporting fixtures beside the test and explain any environment requirements.

Run the test against the affected implementation before accepting it as a regression test. Use concise output flags (`pytest -q --tb=short -x`, or `python3 tools/test_fast.py`; unittest: `-q -f`) so failures stay readable instead of dumping full local-variable tracebacks. Inspect why it failed: an assertion about the reported behavior is evidence; an import error, collection failure, permission problem, or timeout is not the intended proof. Keep the test unchanged when evaluating the fix.

If the fix is already present, use an isolated checkout or an equivalent preserved baseline to test the pre-fix version. Preserve the user's current checkout and uncommitted work. Do not revert their working tree merely to get a red test.
