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 secondsky/claude-skills at 8837836131.

    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 expert knowledge for testing HTTP APIs using Supertest (for TypeScript/JavaScript environments) and httpx/pytest (for Python). It enables AI agents to write, execute, and analyze API tests, aiding in debugging and quality assurance workflows. The provided examples demonstrate how to perform common operations like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE requests, as well as testing authentication and validating request bodies.

When to use it

  • Automating API test suites for web applications.
  • Debugging failing API endpoints during development.
  • Ensuring the reliability of backend services through automated testing.
  • Validating that APIs adhere to expected input requirements and return correct responses.
  • Creating integration tests involving multiple API calls.

Key capabilities

  • Supertest Integration (TypeScript/JavaScript): Provides code snippets for setting up and running tests using Supertest.
  • httpx/pytest Support (Python): Offers expertise applicable to Python-based API testing frameworks.
  • Request Method Testing: Demonstrates how to test GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests.
  • Header & Query Parameter Handling: Includes examples for setting headers (e.g., Authorization) and using query parameters in requests.
  • Authentication Testing: Shows how to incorporate authentication testing into API tests.

Example prompts

  • "Write a Supertest test to verify the /api/health endpoint returns a 200 status code with status: 'ok'."
  • "Generate a Python httpx test for creating a user via POST request to /api/users and validate the response body contains an ID."
  • "Show me how to use Supertest to send a GET request to /api/users with page and limit query parameters."

Tips & gotchas

  • Environment Setup: Requires Bun or npm for TypeScript/JavaScript testing, and httpx/pytest for Python.
  • Application Context: The examples assume an existing application (app) is available. You'll need to adapt the code to your specific API setup.
  • Authentication Details: Replace placeholder authentication tokens (e.g., Bearer token123) with valid credentials when testing authenticated endpoints.
