Discover how a repo builds and tests, and write its build/test guide (`.wicked/build-guide.json`, contract v1): the data the wicked-core floor interprets instead of hardcoding runners. Reads CI config first, then the manifests, then each runner's own --version and --help. Prefers structured results (JUnit; JSON lines and TAP are reserved in v1) and writes a text parser, learned from this repo's real output, only when none exists. Writes a deliberately failing mutation probe, validates with…
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
# Build/test guide The floor decides by exit codes and excludes only the base's own failures. To do that for any runner without runner names in engine code, it reads a per-repo guide that says how this repo runs its tests, how to read their results, and how to list, run one or deselect a test. The floor reads `.wicked/build-guide.json` **from the base tree**, so a head edit never applies to its own run. Every piece is checked against reality by `wicked-core floor probe`. A piece whose probe did not pass is not used, and that check runs exit-code only. This skill discovers, drafts, validates and proposes the guide. It never decides "verified". ## Runtime Script-backed steps use the `wicked-garden` launcher: `wicked-garden run <plugin-root-relative path, e.g. scripts/…> [args]`. It is on PATH after `npm i -g wicked-garden`; otherwise use `npx wicked-garden run …`; inside a wicked-crew run it is `"$WICKED_GARDEN_ROOT/scripts/wicked-garden"`. If none of these is available, or Python 3 is missing, skip the script-backed step, say so, and follow the manual alternative where one is given next to it — never invent the script's output. …

How to install
mdr add mikeparcewski/wicked-garden/wicked-garden-build-guide@sha256:2b393bdaffd43738The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.61a3253, 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.
