Reference Loading

Typed references describe what casting consumes, and when the generated skill should load each artifact.

Schema galaxy-workflow-test-plan

Structured contract copied for validation or lookup.

Runtime Upfront Verbatim Hypothesis

Purpose: Output contract: the emitted plan conforms to [[galaxy-workflow-test-plan]]. Cast bundles the JSON Schema; validate with `foundry validate-galaxy-workflow-test-plan`.
Verify: Cast the skill on a CWL summary carrying tests and confirm the emitted YAML validates and downstream [[implement-galaxy-workflow-test]] consumes it.

Schema summary-cwl

Structured contract copied for validation or lookup.

Runtime Upfront Verbatim Corpus Observed

Purpose: Read the CWL summary's test cases, job inputs, expected outputs, and assertion evidence.

Schema tests-format

Structured contract copied for validation or lookup.

Runtime On Demand Verbatim Corpus Observed

Purpose: Use the Galaxy workflow tests schema as the assertion-family vocabulary when translating CWL test evidence into a Galaxy test plan.
Trigger: When mapping expected outputs, tolerances, or fixture assertions into Galaxy workflow-test assertion intent.

Research iwc-test-data-conventions

Background synthesis loaded by explicit progressive-disclosure metadata.

Runtime On Demand Verbatim Corpus Observed

Purpose: Emit Galaxy/IWC-style job input fixtures, remote locations, hashes, and collection input shapes.
Trigger: When writing job inputs or deciding whether fixtures belong in test-data, Zenodo, ENA/SRA, or CVMFS.

Research planemo-asserts-idioms

Background synthesis loaded by explicit progressive-disclosure metadata.

Runtime On Demand Verbatim Corpus Observed

Purpose: Describe Galaxy workflow-test assertion intent and tolerances for translated expected outputs.
Trigger: When turning CWL expected outputs into Galaxy test-plan assertions.

Research galaxy-workflow-testability-design

Background synthesis loaded by explicit progressive-disclosure metadata.

Runtime On Demand Verbatim Corpus Observed

Purpose: Choose which workflow outputs and promoted checkpoints make meaningful assertions.
Trigger: When deciding which outputs to assert and which labels the plan should bind to.

Research iwc-shortcuts-anti-patterns

Background synthesis loaded by explicit progressive-disclosure metadata.

Runtime On Demand Verbatim Corpus Observed

Purpose: Distinguish accepted IWC-style test shortcuts from assertion smells while translating tests.
Trigger: When deciding whether to use existence-only, size-only, image-dimension, or tolerant output checks.

Research planemo-workflow-test-architecture

Background synthesis loaded by explicit progressive-disclosure metadata.

Runtime On Demand Verbatim Corpus Observed

Purpose: Keep the plan addressable by stable labels and artifacts Planemo can connect back to invocations, jobs, and outputs.
Trigger: When recording the labels and checkpoints the downstream test must address.

cwl-test-to-galaxy-test-plan

Translate CWL test fixtures, job inputs, expected outputs, and assertion evidence into a Galaxy workflow test plan. The output is a reviewable YAML handoff conforming to galaxy-workflow-test-plan, not a concrete tests-format file; implement-galaxy-workflow-test owns final YAML authoring and static validation. Because this plan is translated from real CWL test fixtures, set source.derived_from: test-evidence and prefer evidence: test-evidence on the assertions it carries.
