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 kaakati/rails-enterprise-dev at bd0b7c1cc3.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

Scanned
2 files, 1,175 lines
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 access to a collection of XCTest patterns for iOS development. It allows users to leverage pre-defined, reusable testing structures and approaches to improve test quality and efficiency. The skill aims to simplify writing robust unit and UI tests by offering readily available solutions for common testing scenarios.

When to use it

  • When you need to quickly generate basic XCTest cases for a new feature.
  • To ensure consistent testing practices across your iOS project.
  • For refactoring existing tests to improve readability and maintainability.
  • When onboarding new developers to a team, providing them with established testing patterns.

Key capabilities

  • Provides pre-defined XCTest test case structures.
  • Offers reusable testing approaches for common iOS development scenarios.
  • Simplifies the process of writing robust unit and UI tests.
  • Promotes consistent testing practices within a project.

Example prompts

  • "Generate an XCTest case for testing a button tap action."
  • "Show me a pattern for mocking network requests in my iOS app's tests."
  • "Create a basic UI test structure for verifying view element visibility."

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes familiarity with Xcode and the basics of XCTest. While it provides patterns, understanding the underlying concepts of testing is crucial to effectively utilize these structures.
