Generate engine-specific test helper libraries for the project's test suite. Reads existing test patterns and produces tests/helpers/ with assertion utilities, factory functions, and mock objects tailored to the project's systems. Reduces boilerplate in new test files.

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 Helpers

Writing test cases is faster and more consistent when common setup, teardown,
and assertion patterns are abstracted into helpers. This skill generates a
`tests/helpers/` library tailored to the project's actual engine, language,
and systems — so every developer writes less boilerplate and more assertions.

**Output:** `tests/helpers/` directory with engine-specific helper files

**When to run:**
- After `/test-setup` scaffolds the framework (first time)
- When multiple test files repeat the same setup boilerplate
- When starting to write tests for a new system

---

## 1. Parse Arguments

**Modes:**
- `/test-helpers [system-name]` — generate helpers for a specific system
  (e.g., `/test-helpers combat`)
- `/test-helpers all` — generate helpers for all systems with test files
- `/test-helpers scaffold` — generate only the base helper library (no
  system-specific helpers); use this on first run
- No argument — run `scaffold` if no helpers exist, else `all`

---

## 2. Detect Engine and Language

Read `docs/framework/technical-preferences.md` and extract:
- `Engine:` value
- `Language:` value
- `Framework:` from the Testing section
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add striderza/opencodegamestudios/test-helpers@sha256:16b40e245edf63aa

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260622.695134d, 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.
