Automated safety checks
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

This skill, "Testing Patterns," provides a collection of testing patterns and best practices. It helps users understand different approaches to software testing, including techniques for unit, integration, and system tests. The skill aims to improve test coverage and code quality by applying established testing methodologies.
When to use it
- When designing new features and need guidance on how to effectively test them.
- During code reviews to suggest improvements in existing test suites.
- To troubleshoot failing tests and identify potential root causes.
- For onboarding new developers who are unfamiliar with testing best practices.
Key capabilities
- Provides a catalog of common testing patterns.
- Offers guidance on unit, integration, and system testing.
- Suggests improvements to existing test suites.
Example prompts
- "What are some good testing patterns for a Rails controller action?"
- "How can I improve the test coverage for my service object?"
- "Explain the difference between mocking and stubbing in testing."
Tips & gotchas
This skill assumes a basic understanding of software development principles. While it provides guidance, practical implementation requires familiarity with your specific testing framework (e.g., RSpec, Minitest).
