Individual skill
proof
Chooses and implements the cheapest trustworthy test boundary for a behavior or invariant, including regression, property, contract, integration, and end-to-end tests. Use when adding tests, protecting a bug fix, or proving changed behavior without optimizing for coverage counts.

# proof: the right test at the right boundary
The skill is the boundary choice. A large unit suite can miss a broken
checkout; focused API tests can catch the actual boundary failure. Test
count is not the goal, **catching real regressions is**.
## When to use
- "add tests for the checkout flow"
- "we need regression coverage for that bug you fixed"
- "just add a regression test for this bug, leave the suite alone"
## When NOT to use
