principle-attack-the-premise
From the author
Apply when two or more fixes that share one premise have failed the same gate. Write the premise down and test it directly before you write another fix that assumes it.

- principle-test-behavior-not-implementationbacknotprop/pstackApply when you write, change, or keep a test. Assert what the code's users can observe, so that the test fails when that behavior breaks and keeps passing when only the internals change.Testing★ 3K
- principle-fix-root-causesbacknotprop/pstackApply when debugging. Trace each symptom back to the first place the system went wrong and fix it there. A guard is a fix only when the state it handles is legitimate.Engineering★ 3K
- writing-unit-testsjaktestowac/awesome-copilot-for-testersWrites and reviews focused, deterministic unit tests that verify behavior through public interfaces instead of implementation details. Use whenever tests are added to code that already exists, and when the request mentions unit tests, test coverage, edge cases, mocks or test doubles, "add tests for this function", "cover this module", "these tests are flaky", or "this test breaks every refactor". Also use when reviewing an existing suite for brittleness, weak assertions, or missing boundary cases.Testing★ 118
- error-recoveryNoobyGains/godmodeUse when a fix attempt has failed more than once for the same problem, when a fix for one problem causes another, when the same file keeps being edited without progress, when test results get worse, or when the work feels stuck in a loop.Testing★ 115
- test-case-reviewfishzjp/qa-skillsReview existing test cases (legacy, others', AI) for coverage and executability: build a testable-points baseline, assess independently, revise in place with records. Not for: writing cases from scratch (test-case-writing), pipeline. 审查已有用例（存量/他人/AI 产出）的覆盖与可执行性：先建基准再独立评估，修订留审查记录。不用于：从零写用例、写时自审、流水线。Testing★ 53
- fix-the-classjoetawil7/first-passBug-fix routine that fixes the whole class of bug, not just the reported instance. Use for any bug report, failing production behaviour, monitoring alert, audit finding or review finding that does real harm (a smaller review finding goes on the item's list, as ship-check says), and whenever the same kind of bug has been seen before. Reproduces it with a failing test, names the failure class, searches the task's scope for the same pattern (the whole codebase when the user's own prompt asks for the fix, not when it is picked from a task's list), fixes or records every hit, and adds the rule, invariant, helper or check that stops it coming back.Testing★ 125
