Straight To The Point testing, built on test-driven development. Applies whenever tests are written, changed or judged, in chat or in files - a bug fix, new behaviour, a new write path, a flaky run, proving that a test catches a bug. Red first, then only enough code to go green, tests at the interface callers use, fakes only at system boundaries. Loaded automatically with sttp-software-coding before the first edit in a session; load it yourself when tests come up without an edit, or when the…
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
sttp and sttp-software-coding apply. This skill decides which tests to write, when, in what order and at which seam, and how to read a test run. Running the checks and reporting them stays with sttp-software-coding. Inside workshop-forge, workshop-forge sets the process; this skill governs the tests written. Repo instructions and the existing test conventions win over these rules. ## When the test comes first - A repo with tests, and a bug fix or new behaviour at a seam: red first. - A repo with tests, and a change no test observes (copy text, styling, a config value): no new test. - A repo without tests: one runnable check, only for money, security or parsing logic, written red first. No test framework unless the user asks. - A throwaway script: no test. ## Seams A seam is where a test observes behaviour: the module's interface, the one its callers use. Test there, not past it; wanting to test past it means the module has the wrong shape. - A test already crosses the interface the change touches: name the seam in one line and go on. …

How to install
mdr add frolad/tars/sttp-software-testing@sha256:ee8e8da17e97c439The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.96c9a51, 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.
