The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 186 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Never weaken an assertion or delete a test to get to green.

    line 32

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 186 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

These are standing instructions for the rest of this task, not a one-time checklist. Every increment of $ARGUMENTS goes through the cycle below.

The cycle

  1. RED — write a failing test that specifies the behavior. Run it. Confirm it fails for the reason you expect, not because of a typo or a missing import. A test that has never failed proves nothing.
  2. GREEN — write the minimal implementation that makes it pass. Run it. Resist implementing the next requirement early.
  3. REFACTOR — improve names and structure with the tests green. Re-run after each change.
  4. Repeat for the next behavior. Small increments; do not batch five behaviors into one test.

For a bug fix, RED means a test that reproduces the bug. Write it before touching the fix.

Rules

  • Implementation never runs ahead of tests. If you find yourself writing code with no failing test pointing at it, stop and write the test.
  • Fix the implementation, not the test — unless the test encodes the wrong expectation, in which case say so explicitly before changing it.
  • Structure every test Arrange-Act-Assert, with a name that states the behavior (returns empty array when no markets match query), not the function name.
  • Cover error paths and edge cases, not just the happy path. Coverage floor is 80%; run the project's coverage command and report the number rather than assuming.
  • Never weaken an assertion or delete a test to get to green.

Reporting

At the end, state: which tests were added, current pass/fail counts, the coverage figure with the command that produced it, and anything you deliberately left untested and why.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
