Exact instruction

  1. Target 100% line and branch coverage before opening a PR.
  2. Write unit tests for all code.
  3. Write integration tests to verify code works when deployed with other systems.
  4. Design for testability from day one: use dependency injection, write pure functions without side effects, and enforce clear separation of concerns.

Suggested prompt

Review this code for testability: check that it uses dependency injection, pure functions without side effects, and clear separation of concerns. Flag anything that would be hard to unit test and refactor it.

Adopt?

Yes: The testing design principles (dependency injection, pure functions, separation of concerns) apply directly to any Claude Code project. General Claude Code update — ask Claude to review new code for testability before committing.
