21-skill-api-tests-java

A set of instructions for generating executable API tests in Java 17 or newer. API tests check that software services respond correctly to requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you explicitly request `/api-tests-java` or ask for API tests written in Java.
Why use it?
It gives the coding agent a defined process to follow instead of guessing how to write the tests.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 162 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

21-skill-api-tests-java 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 yesterday.

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

SKILL: API TESTS (JAVA)

TRIGGER

User explicitly types /api-tests-java or asks to write executable API tests in Java.

EXECUTION INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT guess the procedure and DO NOT output anything yet. To perform this skill, you MUST dynamically read the instructions using your file-reading capabilities.

  1. First, read the core agent context: .claude/qa_agent.md
  2. Second, read the specific skill protocol: .claude/skills/api-tests-java/SKILL.md
  3. Execute based STRICTLY on the logic and output format defined in those files.
Changes

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.

21-skill-api-tests-java is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository vlad-ryzhkov/ai-context-engineering-for-qa (6 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed Unlicense. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 162 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
