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 aaronontheweb/dotnet-skills at e426ed93a9.

    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 enables AI agents to execute integration tests using Testcontainers, allowing for the dynamic provisioning of isolated Docker containers during test execution. It ensures that tests run against real database instances or other services rather than mocks, validating application behavior in a production-like environment.

When to use it

  • Validating complex data flows that require persistent storage and external service dependencies.
  • Running end-to-end scenarios where mocking infrastructure leads to unreliable or incomplete test coverage.
  • Ensuring compatibility between your .NET application and specific database versions before deployment.
  • Automating CI/CD pipelines to catch environment-specific bugs early in the development cycle.

Key capabilities

  • Dynamic startup and teardown of Docker containers specifically for testing purposes.
  • Provisioning of real database instances (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) within isolated environments.
  • Execution of integration test suites without requiring manual infrastructure setup.
  • Support for .NET projects utilizing the Testcontainers library.

Example prompts

  • "Run my integration tests using Testcontainers to spin up a temporary PostgreSQL instance."
  • "Execute the full test suite in an isolated Docker environment to verify database connectivity."
  • "Set up a test environment with a real Redis container and run the application's background job tests."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has access to Docker and appropriate permissions, as Testcontainers requires a running Docker daemon. Be aware that integration tests using real containers are significantly slower than unit tests, so they should typically be excluded from frequent commit checks in favor of nightly builds or dedicated CI stages.
