Summary

  • Refocus the testing skill on maintainable tests of observable behavior at the smallest useful runtime boundary.
  • Simplify its risk selection, test placement, and execution guidance around behavioral evidence.
  • Sync the skill metadata and repository descriptions with the revised guidance.

Why

The previous wording organized testing around proof and included static checks in the recommended workflow. That made the skill less direct about its main job: exercising behavior that a real caller can observe.

Static checks now appear only as a narrow caution because they are brittle and difficult to maintain; they are marked as extremely discouraged without making that point the skill's main theme.

Impact

Agents invoking $testing will prioritize runtime behavior, meaningful risks, and maintainable tests. The UI prompt and repository descriptions now present the same focus.
