What it does
Update tests when changing APIs — no exceptions
Skill instructions
Context When APIs or public interfaces change, tests must be updated in the same commit. When test assertions reference file counts or expected arrays, they must be kept in sync with disk reality. Stale tests block CI for other contributors. Patterns - API changes → test updates (same commit): If you change a function signature, public interface, or exported API, update the corresponding tests before committing - Test assertions → disk reality: When test files contain expected counts (e.g., EXPECTEDFEATURES, EXPECTEDSCENARIOS), they must match the actual files on disk - Add files → update assertions: When adding docs pages, features, or any counted resource, update the test assertion array in the same commit - CI failures → check assertions first: Before debugging complex failures, verify test assertion arrays match filesystem state Examples ✓ Correct: - Changed auth API signature → updated auth.test.ts in same commit - Added distributed-mesh.md to features/ → added 'distributed-mesh'
