test-economy SKILL.md skillA

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

test-economy from arasz/ai-badger is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add arasz/ai-badger/test-economy@v1.0.0

Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when a change's tests are about to run — deciding what to run locally (the modified surface and its consumers, once), what to leave to CI (the full suite, when CI is alive), and what to do when CI is dead (hooked-up local gates once, else one manual full-suite run before push) — or when full-suite runs start repeating and something must say stop. A PostToolUse hook counts shell test-runner commands, classifies full vs filtered, and commands the economy on the run past the session's budget…

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 economy

A command, not a gate: this hook only ever adds `additionalContext` to a `PostToolUse` event.
It never blocks, denies, or otherwise gates the tool call that triggered it — no `decision`,
no `permissionDecision`, no `continue` field, on any code path (changelog 0.33.0: no
third-party tool-call interception).

## The economy

Normal flow runs each affected suite once: the modified surface's tests, plus the suites of
anything that consumes the changed behavior — an API change pulls the frontend end-to-end
that exercises it. The full suite is CI's job on push. The sequence to eliminate is the
triple — the agent's manual full suite, then the gate's full suite, then CI's full suite,
all three proving the same commit. The whole budget is one minimal manual run plus CI.

**The CI variable decides what proves a push:**

- **CI alive** (public repos always; check `gh run list`, the repo's CI badge, or the
  project's workflow files): skip every slow local gate by design and treat CI's run as the
  verdict — then read it. Local work is the touched surface's suite, once.
- **CI dead or absent**: run the project's hooked-up local gates once before push; when
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arasz/ai-badger/test-economy@sha256:e57c5245fbb3acc7

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
