Run cargo-mutants for changed coop logic and keep .cargo/mutants.toml synchronized. Use when logic-dense modules change, before refactors, or when asked to verify mutation coverage.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 3 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 0

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

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

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Run a full-file sweep for each touched scoped module and library tests only: cargo mutants -f src/<file>.rs -- --lib.

    line 15
  2. Very specific:

    Do not spend a full mutation run on whole-module exclusions (backend.rs, lima.rs, setup.rs, update.rs, ssh.rs, vm.rs, network.rs, …

    line 25

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 3 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.

Mutation Check

Read docs/testing.md first.

  1. Inspect the diff before running. New functions in logic modules that shell out, drive &PlatformBackend, read a TTY, or write stdout must be excluded in .cargo/mutants.toml in the same PR. Extract and test their pure decision logic. Pure helpers remain in scope.
  2. Sanity-check changed exclusions with cargo mutants --list -f <file>.
  3. Run a full-file sweep for each touched scoped module and library tests only: cargo mutants -f src/<file>.rs -- --lib. Redirect output to a file; do not pipe a long run through head or grep.
  4. Triage mutants.out/missed.txt: add a discriminating test for real gaps, mark genuinely equivalent mutants with a narrow documented skip, and delete dead code. Confirm each new test by re-running the mutant or deliberately breaking the protected behavior.
  5. Report files swept, missed count before/after, every survivor's disposition, and whether .cargo/mutants.toml changed.

Do not spend a full mutation run on whole-module exclusions (backend.rs, lima.rs, setup.rs, update.rs, ssh.rs, vm.rs, network.rs, port_forward.rs, cmd.rs, prompt.rs, main.rs). Instead, identify the unit/integration blind spot explicitly and test extracted pure logic directly.

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.
