SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures that tests remain up-to-date with API changes and that test assertions match the actual file system, preventing CI issues and improving code quality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • API Change Tracking: Automatically update tests when APIs change, ensuring test coverage is maintained.
  • Assertion Synchronization: Keep test assertions in sync with the actual file system to prevent stale tests.
  • Use Case: When you modify an API, the Skill will prompt you to update the corresponding tests in the same commit, and if you add new files, it will update the expected counts in the tests.

Quick Start

Use the test-discipline skill to update tests when you make changes to an API.
