After a development task is written back and the PR is up: open a test task, write TEST-GUIDE.md (what to run in DEV, IST and UAT, with expected results and what to send back) for the user to read on the task board, then judge the results the user brings and record them in TEST/, LOG.md, TASK.md and TODO.md. Use when the PR is submitted, or the user says test guide, test plan, start testing, DEV/IST/UAT, or here are the test results. Keywords: testing, test guide, test results, after PR.

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 guide: from the PR to the results of each environment

The agent cannot run anything in DEV, IST or UAT. The user does. This skill writes what the user is to run, hands it over, and when the user brings the results back, judges them against the criteria written before, and records them. The work goes in a **new task of kind `test`**, not in the development task: that task ended at the PR, and a second round of it means a new plan and a new write-back.

## When to Use This Skill

- A development task was written back (the promote text says so, and names this skill), and the next step is testing in the environments.
- The user says the PR is up, asks for test instructions or a test plan, or brings test results.

**Who starts it: offer.** After a write-back, ask the user in one line ("Open a test task and write the test guide for DEV, IST and UAT?"). Go on only after a yes. When the user typed `/generic-test-guide` or asked for it by name, do not ask again.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add smars-bin-hu/copilot-agentic-harness/generic-test-guide@sha256:cda26983ea678cc5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.d95f023, 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.
