Arguments
参数
Raw arguments: $ARGUMENTS
If arguments are provided, treat them as a free-text feature description (e.g. "sign-in code login flow", "image upload validation"). Locate the relevant code and tests yourself using /.
GrepGlobIf arguments are empty, run and use the diff as the feature scope.
git diff main...HEAD原始参数:$ARGUMENTS
若提供参数,则将其视为自由文本形式的功能描述(例如“登录验证码流程”“图片上传验证”)。请自行使用/定位相关代码和测试。
GrepGlob若未提供参数,则运行并将差异内容作为功能范围。
git diff main...HEADGoal
目标
Identify the most valuable tests to write for the feature, using ZOMBIES as a thinking tool. The output is a list of test ideas the user can stub out themselves — do not write or stub the tests.
ZOMBIES stands for:
- Zero — no inputs / empty state
- One — a single input / the happy path
- Many — multiple inputs, ordering, pagination, concurrency
- Boundaries — limits, off-by-one, min/max lengths, timing edges, type edges
- Interface — the contract/shape of the public API (return types, status codes, redirects)
- Exceptions — invalid input, failures, expired/used/missing state, auth failures
- Simple scenarios — the common everyday usage paths a real user takes
Skip categories that don't apply. A read-only endpoint may have nothing under "Many". A pure validator may have nothing under "Interface". Only list tests that are genuinely worth writing — quality over coverage.
以ZOMBIES为思考工具,确定为该功能编写的最具价值的测试。输出内容为用户可自行搭建的测试思路列表——请勿编写或搭建测试代码。
ZOMBIES代表:
- Zero — 无输入/空状态
- One — 单一输入/正常路径
- Many — 多输入、排序、分页、并发
- Boundaries — 限制值、差一错误、最小/最大长度、时间边缘、类型边缘
- Interface — 公共API的契约/结构(返回类型、状态码、重定向)
- Exceptions — 无效输入、失败场景、过期/已使用/缺失状态、认证失败
- Simple scenarios — 真实用户日常使用的常见路径
跳过不适用的类别。只读端点可能没有属于“Many”的测试内容。纯验证器可能没有属于“Interface”的测试内容。仅列出真正值得编写的测试——质量优先于覆盖率。
Instructions
操作步骤
1. Locate the feature
1. 定位功能
- With args: search the codebase with /
Grepfor files matching the description. Read the implementation files (controllers, models, actions, validators) and the existing test file if one exists.Glob - Without args: run and
git diff --name-status main...HEAD, then read the changed implementation files. Skip auto-generated files (lockfiles, compiled assets, generated route/type definitions).git diff main...HEAD
- 有参数时:使用/
Grep在代码库中搜索与描述匹配的文件。阅读实现文件(控制器、模型、动作、验证器)以及现有测试文件(如果存在)。Glob - 无参数时:运行和
git diff --name-status main...HEAD,然后阅读有变更的实现文件。跳过自动生成的文件(锁定文件、编译后的资源、生成的路由/类型定义)。git diff main...HEAD
2. Generate ZOMBIES suggestions
2. 生成ZOMBIES测试建议
For each ZOMBIES letter, ask: is there a test here that would catch a real bug or document real behaviour? If yes, list it. If no, skip the letter.
Suggestion quality bar:
- Specific, not generic. "Test maximum email length (255 chars)" beats "Test boundaries".
- Reference real values from the code when possible — column lengths from migrations, expiry windows from config, validation rules from FormRequests.
- One test per bullet. Don't combine "test A and B" into one line.
- Phrase as a behaviour to verify, not as a method name. "Expired sign-in code returns 422" beats "test_expired_code".
针对ZOMBIES的每个字母,思考:这里是否有能发现真实bug或记录真实行为的测试? 如果有,列出它;如果没有,跳过该字母。
建议质量标准:
- 具体而非泛化。“测试邮箱最大长度(255字符)”优于“测试边界值”。
- 尽可能引用代码中的真实值——迁移中的列长度、配置中的过期窗口、FormRequests中的验证规则。
- 每个项目对应一个测试。不要将“测试A和测试B”合并到一行中。
- 以需验证的行为表述,而非方法名。“过期验证码返回422状态码”优于“test_expired_code”。
3. Output the report
3. 输出报告
Group by feature area first (if the diff covers multiple features), then by ZOMBIES letter within each. Use this format exactly:
undefined首先按功能区域分组(如果差异内容涵盖多个功能),然后在每个区域内按ZOMBIES字母分组。严格使用以下格式:
undefined[Feature Area]
[功能区域]
Boundaries
- Email field rejects values longer than 255 chars (matches migration column)
- Sign-in code expires exactly at the 15-minute mark
Exceptions
- Expired code returns a validation error
- Already-used code cannot be redeemed twice
- Submitting code for an unknown email fails silently (no user enumeration)
Simple
- Requesting a code emails the user and creates a row
SignInCode - Submitting a valid code logs the user in and consumes the code
If multiple features are in scope, repeat the block per feature with its own `##` heading.
End with a one-line summary: `X test ideas.`
If there's nothing worth testing (e.g. trivial rename, pure config change), output exactly:
✅ Nothing worth writing tests for.
undefinedBoundaries
- 邮箱字段拒绝超过255字符的值(与迁移列定义一致)
- 验证码在15分钟整时过期
Exceptions
- 过期验证码返回验证错误
- 已使用的验证码无法重复兑换
- 为未知邮箱提交验证码时无提示失败(避免用户枚举)
Simple
- 请求验证码时向用户发送邮件并创建记录
SignInCode - 提交有效验证码后登录用户并标记该验证码已使用
如果范围包含多个功能,为每个功能重复上述区块并使用各自的`##`标题。
结尾添加一行总结:`X个测试思路。`
如果没有值得测试的内容(例如 trivial 的重命名、纯配置变更),请严格输出:
✅ 没有值得编写的测试内容。
undefinedRules
规则
- Don't stub the tests. This skill outputs ideas only — the user writes the tests.
- Skip ZOMBIES letters that don't apply. Do not write "(none)" placeholders. Quality over coverage.
- Be specific. Reference actual lengths, timings, statuses, route names from the code. Generic suggestions are worthless.
- One behaviour per bullet. No "and" joining two tests.
- No implementation hints. Don't suggest assertions, factories, or test setup — just what to verify.
- Group by feature first, then by letter. Don't dump everything under one giant ZOMBIES list when the diff spans multiple features.
- No preamble. No "Here are the tests I'd suggest…". Start with the first heading.
## [Feature Area] - No closing advice beyond the summary line.
X test ideas.
- 请勿搭建测试代码。该技能仅输出思路——由用户编写测试。
- 跳过不适用的ZOMBIES字母。不要写“(无)”作为占位符。质量优先于覆盖率。
- 保持具体。引用代码中的实际长度、时间、状态码、路由名称。泛化的建议毫无价值。
- 每个项目对应一个行为。不要用“和”连接两个测试。
- 不要提供实现提示。不要建议断言、工厂或测试设置——只需说明要验证的内容。
- 先按功能分组,再按字母分组。当差异内容涉及多个功能时,不要将所有内容放在一个庞大的ZOMBIES列表下。
- 不要添加开场白。不要写“以下是我建议的测试……”。直接以第一个标题开头。
## [功能区域] - 除总结行外,不要添加收尾建议。
