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 11 Oct 2026

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 proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe at 124d8c735e.
The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

Copies in repo: 2 — all of them scanned

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

The test-design-techniques skill enables AI agents to generate comprehensive testing strategies, including unit, integration, and end-to-end scenarios tailored to specific application logic. It assists in creating edge case coverage plans and defining acceptance criteria directly from user stories or technical specifications.

When to use it

Generating initial test cases for new feature branches before code is merged.
Identifying missing edge cases in complex business logic workflows.
Creating regression test suites when modifying existing core modules.
Translating high-level product requirements into executable verification steps.

Key capabilities

Generates unit, integration, and end-to-end test scenarios.
Analyzes user stories to derive acceptance criteria.
Identifies potential edge cases based on input data types.
Structures test plans aligned with software development lifecycles.

Example prompts

"Create a set of unit tests for a Python function that calculates compound interest, including scenarios for negative rates and zero principal."
"Generate integration test cases for a user registration flow that validates email format, password strength, and database persistence."
"Design end-to-end acceptance criteria for a checkout process based on this user story: 'As a shopper, I want to apply a discount code at the final step.'"

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you provide clear context about the technology stack (e.g., Python, React) and specific library constraints when requesting test generation. The skill relies heavily on the quality of your input specifications; vague requirements may result in generic test scenarios that lack depth.
