Install target

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 marcelorodrigo/agent-skills at 99d50948fb.

    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 generates Spring Boot 4 unit and integration tests based on your existing code context. It leverages modern testing patterns and best practices, including AssertJ-style assertions for improved readability and MockMvcTester and RestTestClient as alternatives to older approaches. The skill aims to help you write focused and efficient tests by guiding you towards the appropriate test slice for different scenarios (controller, repository, REST client, JSON serialization, or full application).

When to use it

  • Testing controller endpoints: When verifying HTTP semantics and controller behavior.
  • Validating JPA queries: When ensuring data persistence logic functions correctly.
  • Testing interactions with external APIs: When confirming that a REST client integrates properly with external services.
  • Verifying JSON serialization/deserialization: When validating the correct mapping of objects to and from JSON format.
  • Running full application integration tests: For comprehensive testing of your Spring Boot application.

Key capabilities

  • Generates tests using annotations like @WebMvcTest, @DataJpaTest, @RestClientTest, @JsonTest, and @SpringBootTest.
  • Supports MockMvcTester for AssertJ-style assertions in web layer tests.
  • Utilizes RestTestClient as a modern alternative to TestRestTemplate.
  • Provides guidance on selecting the appropriate test slice based on the scenario.
  • Offers references and documentation for various testing tools including Testcontainers, MockitoBean, and Instancio.

Example prompts

  • "Generate a unit test for this controller endpoint."
  • "Create an integration test for this repository method."
  • "Show me how to test the JSON serialization of this class."
  • "What's the best way to test this REST client interaction?"

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill is designed for Spring Boot 4 applications. Migration considerations may apply when upgrading from older versions (see references/sb4-migration.md).
  • Consider the Test Pyramid principle: prioritize unit tests over integration tests for faster feedback and focused testing.
  • If a method or class requires more than 5-7 test cases, it might be too complex and should be refactored.
