Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned hermeticormus/libreuiux-claude-code at 2a69cbbc46.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides guidance and code examples for implementing robust testing patterns in Python. It helps generate test suites using techniques like mocking, patching, and property-based testing to ensure code reliability and maintainability. The skill aims to improve the quality of Python projects by promoting best practices in automated testing.

When to use it

  • You're starting a new Python project and want to establish good testing habits from the beginning.
  • An existing Python codebase has limited or ineffective tests, and you need help improving test coverage.
  • You are refactoring code and need to ensure that changes don’t introduce regressions.
  • You're struggling with mocking dependencies in your Python tests.

Key capabilities

  • Mocking external resources
  • Patching functions and classes for testing
  • Property-based testing techniques
  • Generating test suites based on code structure

Example prompts

  • "Generate a mock object for the requests library to test my API integration."
  • "Show me how to patch the os.getcwd() function in my unit tests."
  • “Create property-based tests for this Python function: [function definition]”

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes a basic understanding of Python and testing concepts. Complex mocking scenarios may require more detailed instructions or adjustments based on specific project dependencies.
