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 zbruhnke/claude-code-starter at 6b95b88bf2.

    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, zbruhnke-generate-tests, automatically generates tests for code. It leverages AI to create test cases based on provided code snippets or function descriptions, aiming to improve code quality and reliability through automated testing. The generated tests can help identify potential bugs and ensure the code behaves as expected.

When to use it

  • Automated Regression Testing: Quickly generate a suite of tests after making changes to existing code to verify functionality hasn't been broken.
  • New Feature Development: Create initial test cases alongside new feature development, ensuring immediate testing coverage.
  • Code Review Assistance: Generate tests as part of the code review process to help reviewers identify potential edge cases and improve overall code quality.
  • Learning New Codebases: Quickly get a baseline set of tests for unfamiliar code to understand its behavior.

Key capabilities

  • Generates test cases from code snippets.
  • Creates tests based on function descriptions.
  • Aims to improve code reliability through automated testing.

Example prompts

  • "Generate unit tests for this Python function: def add(a, b): return a + b"
  • "Create test cases for the following JavaScript code: // Code snippet here"
  • "Write tests to cover all edge cases for this sorting algorithm."

Tips & gotchas

The quality of generated tests depends heavily on the clarity and completeness of the provided code or function description. Reviewing and refining the automatically generated tests is always recommended.
