testing

testing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AntheaLaffy/the-missing-semester-skills. It costs 80 tokens per session (697 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A guide to software testing, including unit tests for small pieces of code, integration tests for connected parts, and functional tests for complete behaviours. It also explains TDD, a method where tests are written before the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps write tests, choose a testing approach, replace outside services with mocks, add property-based tests, and improve coverage reports such as Codecov.
Why use it?
It helps catch regressions—new changes that break existing behaviour—and shows how to measure which lines of code tests exercise.

Which agent this was written for is unclear — body not stored (licence); the path alone says nothing.

Good fit It helps write tests, choose a testing approach, replace outside services with mocks, add property-based tests, and improve coverage reports such as Codecov.

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

testing 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 10d 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 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.
