@@ -5,32 +5,18 @@ A recipe generally has a few things:
 * A `README.md` explaining its purpose and use (including any options, and required and optional
 files).
 * Tests via node's test runner (min coverage: 80%)
-  * unit tests ; there must be a `"test:unit"` command within it package.json's like:
-    ```json
-    {
-      "scripts": {
-        "test:unit": "node --test './src/**/*.spec.ts"
-      }
-    }
-    ```
-  * end-to-end test(s) for accepted use-cases; there must be a `"test:e2e"` command within it package.json's like:
-    ```json
-    {
-      "scripts": {
-        "test:e2e": "node --test './src/**/*.e2e.ts"
-      }
-    }
-    ```
+  * unit tests
+  * end-to-end test(s) for accepted use-cases
+  * a `test` command in `package.json`; there may be sub-commands like `test:unit` & `test:e2e`, but there must be a parent that combines them.
+    * Include `--import='../../build/snapshots.mts` to standardise the filename (`${original_base_name}.snap.cjs`) across recipes.
+    * Ensure `--test-coverage-include` and `--test-coverage-exclude` are set correctly for the recipe's workspace. The root repo handles setting coverage rules like minimum line coverage.
 * Code comments (js docs, etc)
 * Types (either via typescript or jsdoc)
 
 CI will run lint & type checking and all included test files against all PRs.
 
-> [!NOTE]
-> snapshots will be generated with the file extension `.snap.cjs`.

-New recipes are added under `./recipes` in their own folder, succinctly named for what it does. General-purpose recipes have simple names like `correct-ts-specifiers`. A suite of migrations has a name like `migrate from 18 to 20`, and more specific migrations are named like `migrate fs.readFile from 18 to 20`.

-A convenient superset of checks is available via `node --run pre-commit`, which automatically fixes formatting and linting issues, checks types, and runs unit and end-to-end tests. Changes resulting from this should be committed.
