Verifies API implementations against OpenAPI specifications using the Drift CLI, catching spec drift and supporting Bi-Directional Contract Testing (BDCT). Use when the user mentions Drift, API contract testing, provider contract testing, provider verification, spec drift, API conformance testing, OpenAPI verification, BDCT, drift expressions, drift datasets, drift lifecycle hooks, or Lua scripting in a testing context. Use when the user asks to write, run, or debug Drift test cases. Use when…

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.

- [`references/mock-server.md`](references/mock-server.md) — Local testing with Prism: setup, Prefer header, spec quality issues

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pactflow/pactflow-agent-skills/drift-testing@sha256:54569d272c7d3858

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.2785565, 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.
