write-integration-test

write-integration-test is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from band-app/band. It costs 137 tokens per session (5,854 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A testing guide for writing black-box integration tests against the real application, with outside services replaced by local Express test servers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing backend tests through real HTTP and frontend tests through Playwright, a browser automation tool. It helps test complete features without mocking the application’s own routes.
Why use it?
It shows how to prove that user-visible changes work in the shipped application and helps prevent regressions. It also points to the repository’s required testing rules.

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-integration-test scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 479 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Write Integration Tests

This skill is the operational playbook — how to write an integration test against the Band web app. It is NOT the rule list.

  • The reviewer-enforced rules live in .claude/testing-criteria.md as TEST-1TEST-35. Open that file once before you write your first test on this repo. Both CI (.github/workflows/claude-review.yml) and the local review-and-apply skill apply it verbatim to your diff.
  • The narrative doctrinewhy we test this way — lives in docs/integration-testing.md.

Throughout this playbook, prescriptions that correspond to a specific rule are cited inline as (enforces TEST-N). If you intentionally deviate from one, fix it before pushing or cite the ID in your PR description with a justification — the reviewer will flag every unjustified deviation.

Integration tests are the default proof of correctness for any user-observable change (enforces TEST-6). Unit tests stay useful for non-observable internals and combinatorial cases, but the integration test is what proves the feature works and what guards against the regression you came here to fix.

Architecture — One Picture, Both Layers

Backend and frontend tests share the same server boot and the same fixture model. The only difference is whether the test drives the server through fetch or through a browser.
