DDE Extension: Python Testing
Skill Version: v0.1
Authority Chain
- Commander:
dde-bootstrap
- Write gate:
dde-code-guard
- This skill is execution-capable but write-constrained.
When to Use
- Add/fix pytest coverage for Python modules
- Reproduce and lock regressions with tests
- Validate Python behavior after refactor
Execution Scope
Allowed:
- Analyze test topology and coverage gaps
- Design pytest cases/fixtures/markers
- Run pytest and summarize failures
Write-sensitive actions:
- Modifying
*.py, tests/*.py, pytest configs
- Must be handed off to
dde-code-guard
Mandatory Flow
- Define behavior to protect.
- Inspect existing tests and gaps.
- Run targeted tests, then broader checks.
- If file edits needed, emit handoff:
DDE_EXTENSION_HANDOFF_REQUIRED
Fields:
- Reason
- Target files
- New/updated test intent
- Risk and rollback note
- Wait for
[APPROVED] in guard flow before write.
Output Contract
- Coverage gap summary
- Failure clusters
- Minimal test patch proposal
- Handoff block when write is needed
