Simready Foundation Add Runtime Test

SimReady Add Runtime Test

Purpose

Use this skill when static validators are not enough to prove a feature or profile works in a runtime. Runtime tests use the workspace runtime_tests pipeline: batch maker, job runner, and report generator.

Do not hand-edit generated job JSON. Add or update the source test/search configuration that generates it.

Prerequisites

Before editing, read:

• AGENTS.md
• nv_core/sr_specs/docs/guides/runtime_testing/runtime_testing.md
• nv_core/sr_specs/docs/guides/runtime_testing/runtime_tests_overview.md
• nv_core/sr_specs/docs/guides/runtime_testing/job_runner_deep_dive.md
• nv_core/sr_specs/docs/guides/runtime_testing/runners_info.md
• nv_core/sr_specs/docs/guides/runtime_testing/cicd_usage.md
• relevant feature/profile docs that need runtime evidence

Instructions

Use this checklist when changing the repository:

1. Decide whether runtime evidence is required by the feature/profile or only useful as supplementary confidence.
2. Locate existing runtime test definitions and search functions for similar behavior.
3. Add or update source test/search configuration, not generated batch job files.
4. For search functions, keep the file and function name aligned and return AssetData from the provided search context.
5. For test definitions, include the guide-required TOML sections:
   • [TestInfo] with name, description, version, search function, and optional feature IDs/versions
   • [RunnerTags] with runner config and script/class fields only when the run mode requires them
   • [TestConfig] for test-specific settings
6. Ensure runner assumptions are documented in local_run/runners_info.toml guidance or the relevant docs. Do not hard-code user-specific runner paths into committed specs.
7. Document how to run:
   • workspace runtime_tests batch_maker
   • workspace runtime_tests job_runner
   • workspace runtime_tests report_generator
8. Record expected outputs under _testing/batch_jobs/, _testing/job_outputs/, and _testing/index.html.
9. Add expected pass/fail signals and artifacts to the feature/profile docs when runtime testing is part of the acceptance strategy.
10. Run the narrowest available runtime test when the local Kit/runtime environment exists; otherwise report the blocked runtime dependency.
11. Preserve report paths and summarize runtime evidence.

Examples

Example request:

Add a runtime test proving a SimReady factory asset connection point imports and aligns correctly in Kit.

Expected result summary:

changed_files: new docs, manifests, indexes, or validation scaffolding
validation: focused static checks and any relevant docs/build checks
remaining_gaps: requirement, validator, adapter, profile, or runtime-test follow-up

Policies

• Generated job JSON and output folders are artifacts, not source of truth.
• Runtime tests should be reproducible from project root, test definitions, search functions, and runner config.
• Keep user/CI-owned runner paths out of source-controlled docs unless intentionally templated.
• If runtime cannot run locally, still add clear commands and expected artifacts.

Limitations

• Do not mutate published feature or profile versions in place.
• Do not invent requirement IDs or validator behavior when the contract is ambiguous; record the question.
• Do not skip index, manifest, validation, or downstream follow-up notes.

Troubleshooting

• Error: the new concept overlaps an existing artifact. Solution: update the existing capability, requirement, feature, profile, or adapter instead.
• Error: names or IDs conflict. Solution: re-check naming conventions and nearby indexes before editing further.
• Error: validation strategy is unclear. Solution: document deferred validation and the exact follow-up skill.

Resources

• assets/openai.yaml preserves optional UI metadata for clients that read skill display hints. It is not required for the workflow.
