Invoke whenever writing, changing, reviewing, running, or sweeping Canonry tests. Authoring gate for new tests plus audit workflow for low-value, implementation-coupled, or duplicative tests and the test-only production seams they demand.

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

# Test Audit

Repository development skill adapted from [OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/blob/main/.agents/skills/test-audit/SKILL.md).
Read [UPSTREAM.md](UPSTREAM.md) for provenance and the Canonry adaptations.

Three modes, one value bar. Authoring mode gates every new or changed test at
write time. Audit mode runs focused sweeps of tests that re-assert source,
duplicate stronger proof, couple behavior to implementation, or keep test-only
production seams alive. Continue broad audits as separate coherent follow-up
PRs; optimize for confidence, not deletion count. Campaign mode prunes one
whole subsystem's test surface (every test file a plugin or core area owns);
before starting one, read [CAMPAIGN.md](CAMPAIGN.md).

## Authoring gate

Before adding any test, answer four questions; a missing answer means do not
add it yet:

1. What observable behavior, invariant, or independent contract does it protect?
2. What credible regression makes it fail?
3. Why does existing coverage not already catch that failure? Each contract has
   one primary test owner at the strongest boundary; another layer needs its
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add canonry/canonry/test-audit@sha256:6abfc192ee88adf9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.3a14a05, 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.
