    assert fahrenheit_to_celsius(98.6) == 37.0

Test Generation Strategy

For every formula, generate:

1. Known value tests: Use example values with known results
2. Boundary tests: Test formula at edges (0, max, min)
3. Inverse tests: If inverse formula exists, verify f(f_inv(x)) == x
4. Edge cases: Test with special values (0, negative, very large)

Prerequisites Check

Before invoking this skill, ensure:

1. Formulas (F-*) exist with complete specifications
2. Formula includes: inputs, formula expression, output format

If F-* too vague:

• Ask user: "F-001 says 'fee calculation' - what's the formula?"

Notes

Why autogenerate formulas?

• Accuracy: No manual coding errors in calculations
• Documentation: Formula is in code + docstring
• Testability: Generated tests verify formula correctness
• Consistency: All formulas follow same pattern

Formula complexity handling:

• Simple formulas (F = ma): Direct translation
• Complex formulas (compound interest): Use math library
• Multi-step formulas: Break into helper functions

Homeostasis Goal:

desired_state:
  all_formulas_have_code: true
  all_formula_code_has_tests: true
  all_tests_passing: true
  formulas_documented: true
