商店整理自技能原文 · 版本 2eae60e · 表述以原文为准安装后,Claude 会引导你在实现代码之前,用领域语言编写可执行的规范(fixture 文件)。这些规范既描述预期行为,也是测试用例,你一眼就能判断是否正确。
当你在做行为驱动开发(BDD),需要先写可执行规范,再用代码实现时触发。

BDD with Approval Tests
The Problem
Specifications live in documents. They drift from reality because nothing enforces them.
Tests verify implementation. Written after code, they document what IS, not what SHOULD BE. They're noisy. You can't glance at them and quickly validate correctness.
You need an artifact that:
- Captures expected behavior before code exists
- Stays in sync because it's executable
- A human can validate at a glance
Executable Specifications
The fixture file IS that artifact. Write it BEFORE implementation.
Think through scenarios by creating approval files. Describe expected behavior in domain language. Implementation is driven by making these specs pass. Specs stay executable, never go stale.
A human looks at the fixture and immediately sees: correct or not. No translation between "spec" and "test". They're the same artifact.
For the approval testing technique itself (verify, scrubbers, combinations), see /approval-tests. For nulled infrastructure in system tests, see /nullables.
Approved Fixtures
Test files combining input and expected output in a format designed for human validation.
## Input (context, parameters, initial state) ## Output (expected results, side effects, final state)
Test runner reads fixtures, executes code, compares output. Adding test cases = adding files, not code.
Design the format for YOUR domain:
- Grid/spatial problems → ASCII art
- Transformations → before/after
- Workflows → step sequences with results
- API interactions → request/response pairs
See [references/approved-fixtures.md](references/approved-fixtures.md) for examples.
Format Design
The question: Can someone validate correctness in <5 seconds?
Design for human eyes, not machine parsing. Match the domain's natural representation. How you'd explain it on a whiteboard.
What makes formats scannable:
- Columnar layouts with visual alignment
- Consistent structure across all cases
- Whitespace that groups related elements
Avoid:
- Dense JSON (hard to scan)
- Single-line formats (no visual structure)
- Formats requiring mental parsing
Implementation
One-time per domain:
- Parser - extracts input from fixture format
- Formatter (printer) - converts actual output to fixture format
- Single test file discovers and runs all fixtures
Keep parser/formatter simple. Format should be close to natural representation.
Approved Logs
Turn production logs into tests by copying and fixing incorrect lines. Quick bug reproduction.
Caveat: Logs are for runtime observability, not test validation. Tying tests to log format creates coupling. Log changes break tests. Use sparingly when logs happen to capture the behavior well.
