write-unit-tests

write-unit-tests is a command for Cursor from emaraschio/cursor-commands. It costs 11 tokens per session (395 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for writing unit tests, which check small pieces of code in isolation against their intended behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add meaningful tests for target code, mock external boundaries such as networks or filesystems, and report the results.
Why use it?
It helps create tests that verify public results instead of fragile implementation details, while avoiding unnecessary mocks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

write-unit-tests scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Overview

Write meaningful unit tests for target code. Full workflow: .cursor/skill-contracts/write-unit-tests/SKILL.md (user install: ~/.cursor/skill-contracts/write-unit-tests/SKILL.md).

Defaults

None. See skill for workflow defaults.

Steps

  1. Read .cursor/skill-contracts/write-unit-tests/SKILL.md for the full agent contract; if that file is missing, read ~/.cursor/skill-contracts/write-unit-tests/SKILL.md.
  2. Execute the workflow in order; do not skip safety steps.
  3. Report outcomes per skill (summary, tables, or checklist as specified).

Anti-patterns

  • Test behavior, not implementation trivia. Trigger: choosing what a unit test should assert. Wrong: asserting private internals, call counts, or getters that restate the code. Correct: assert observable behavior and public contracts. Reason: trivia tests break on harmless refactors and prove nothing about correctness.
  • Mock only what you must. Trigger: the unit under test touches collaborators. Wrong: mocking every dependency, including pure logic you could call directly. Correct: mock external boundaries (network, clock, filesystem) and use real objects for the rest. Reason: over-mocking tests the mocks instead of the code and hides real integration breaks.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
