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 rasmusgodske/dev-agent-workflow at d55634f7f9.

    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

The php-test-writer skill automatically generates PHPUnit tests for existing PHP code. It analyzes the provided code and creates corresponding test files with assertions to verify functionality. This helps ensure code quality, facilitates refactoring, and simplifies automated testing workflows.

When to use it

  • New Project Setup: Quickly generate a basic test suite when starting a new PHP project.
  • Legacy Code Testing: Add tests to existing codebases that lack automated testing.
  • Refactoring Assistance: Ensure changes during refactoring don't break existing functionality.
  • Automated CI/CD Pipelines: Integrate into continuous integration and delivery pipelines for automatic test execution.

Key capabilities

  • Generates PHPUnit test files.
  • Analyzes existing PHP code.
  • Creates assertions to verify functionality.

Example prompts

  • "Generate a PHPUnit test suite for this code: [paste PHP code here]"
  • "Create tests for the UserController class in my project."
  • "Write unit tests for the function calculate_discount."

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill is most effective with well-structured and documented PHP code. Complex or obfuscated code may result in less accurate test generation.
