Propagation

This skill generates tests from Allium specifications. Propagation is how plants reproduce from cuttings of the parent: the spec is the parent, the tests are the offspring.

Deterministic tools guarantee completeness (every spec construct maps to a test obligation). You handle the implementation bridge: correlating spec constructs with code, generating tests in the project's conventions.

Interaction modes

This skill runs in two modes. Every instruction below that asks or suggests something to the user follows the mode:

• Interactive — running inline in a conversation. Ask the user directly and wait for the answer.
• Non-interactive — running as the propagate subagent (for example inside the Allium loop), where no user is reachable. Report anything that needs a human decision — a spec too coarse to propagate, an ambiguous implementation bridge, uncovered obligations — in your final output and continue with the work that does not depend on it.

Prerequisites

Before propagating tests, you need:
