claude-code-showcase: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/testing-patterns/SKILL.md

testing-patterns is a skill for Claude Code from ChrisWiles/claude-code-showcase. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,408 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A collection of Jest testing patterns, test factories, mocking approaches, and a TDD workflow. TDD means writing a failing test, making it pass, and then improving the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing Jest unit tests, creating reusable test data, mocking dependencies, and following the red-green-refactor cycle.
Why use it?
It gives a defined approach for creating reliable unit tests instead of choosing testing techniques from scratch.

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-patterns 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 2mo 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.
