The skill only described pytest, which is right for one module but is not what CI runs. Adds: the two project runners and how their module sets and orders differ from each other and from pytest, why that makes leaked module-level state show up as "passes alone, fails in the suite," the #_DOCS_HIDE save/restore pattern for a doctest that must mutate module state, the mainTest/-m forms for a single module or test, the Test/TestSlow/TestExternal conventions from documentation/source/developerReference/testing.ipynb, and pylint alongside ruff and mypy.

Master added "Speed budget" and "Tests that open windows"; this branch rewrote the whole-suite section. Kept both, moved master's two sections next to the rules about writing tests, and dropped the bullets here that they now cover better (the speed guidance and TestExternal). AI-assisted (Claude)

I think this should make Agents smarter about how to run tests and why tests run how they do. Updated.
