test-writer
Agent skill fromsno-ai/sno-station-skills
Write and improve test-owned code: tests, test scripts, fixtures, evals, and test-only helpers. Use whenever Codex is asked to create or change test code. Its only job is to produce the strongest practical tests in the repository's existing harness, run them, and fix defects in the test code.

1# Test Writer23Write the best test code for the requested behavior. Start with the repository and the4behavior.56## Test scope78- Run tests only for the changed behavior and its directly affected callers or integrations.9- Do not run full evaluation, unit, integration, repository, site, or all-module suites unless the owner explicitly requests them.10- A skill, PRD, reviewer, repository document, or default package script does not grant that permission.11- After a failure, rerun the failing case first. Once it passes, run only directly affected cases; do not expand by default.12- Build artifacts required for a requested deployment are not permission to run unrelated tests.13- Every development task has a finite budget including setup, execution, and reporting; before each run, estimate duration from available timings and name the changed behavior it verifies, using a stated estimate when timings are unknown rather than building a timing system or running a preliminary suite.14- Remove checks and repeated runs that neither establish the requested main function nor expose its defects; select the smallest useful test that fits the remaining development budget, never spend it on reassurance.1516## Single responsibility1718Own only test code:1920- tests and test scripts21- fixtures and test-only helpers22- eval and simulation code23- test harness configuration required by those files2425The output of this skill is test-owned code and the result of running it.
