<!-- Generated from claude_sessions/skills_templates by tools/gen_plugin.py — do not edit here. --> # Test writer Add tests that pin down behavior and would fail if the code regressed. ## Steps 1. Detect the test framework and layout already in the repo (pytest, jest, go test, etc.) — match it exactly. Never introduce a new framework. 2. Identify the unit under test and its meaningful behaviors, edge cases, and error paths. 3. Write tests that: - name the behavior (`test_rejects_expired_token`), not the function; - use the Arrange-Act-Assert shape; - cover the happy path, boundaries, and at least one failure mode; - avoid asserting on incidental implementation details. 4. Reuse existing fixtures/helpers instead of duplicating setup. 5. Run the suite and confirm the new tests pass (and fail when the behavior is broken). ## Rules - A test that can't fail is worthless — assert real outcomes. - Keep each test independent and deterministic (no shared mutable state, no real network/clock unless the project already does). - Prefer a few sharp tests over many shallow ones. <!-- archeus starter skill.
