What problem does it solve?

Tests that mirror implementation can be brittle and provide false confidence. This Skill advocates a contract-first approach using real interfaces and no mocks to verify behavior across actual components.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Contract-first testing: Define explicit API contracts before inspecting implementation.
  • No mocks philosophy: Exercise real services/databases (e.g., sqlite_test_db) to validate integration points.
  • Failure-forcing tests: Write tests that fail when contracts are violated, ensuring robust guarantees.

Quick Start

Write tests against public interfaces using real components (no mocks) and verify that failures surface when contracts are violated.
