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

About this skill
The pytest-code-review skill enables AI agents to automatically analyze Python test files for quality, coverage, and adherence to best practices using the Beagle framework. It provides immediate feedback on test structure, naming conventions, and assertion logic to ensure robust backend testing suites.
When to use it
- Before merging pull requests that introduce new unit or integration tests.
- When refactoring existing test code to improve readability and maintainability.
- To validate that new features have corresponding test coverage before deployment.
- During code reviews to catch flaky tests or missing edge cases early in the development cycle.
Key capabilities
- Automated analysis of Python
pytestfiles for structural integrity. - Detection of common anti-patterns and naming convention violations.
- Evaluation of assertion logic quality within test functions.
- Integration with the Beagle AI agent ecosystem for backend workflows.
Example prompts
- "Run a code review on my new
test_user_service.pyfile to check for best practices." - "Analyze these failing tests and suggest improvements to the assertions."
- "Review the test coverage of my latest feature implementation using pytest standards."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your project has pytest installed and configured correctly before invoking this skill. The agent focuses on code quality rather than execution results, so it may not flag runtime errors unless they are part of the static analysis context.
