testing

Project rules for writing and running Python tests with pytest, including test naming, reusable fixtures, database safety, continuous integration, and handling untrusted data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding tests, choosing between unit and integration tests, designing fixtures, checking database helpers, or reviewing tests run on pull requests.
Why use it?
They give developers consistent testing practices and reduce risks from unsafe database queries, unreliable tests, and unchecked data crossing system boundaries.

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.

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 2d 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

Testing

Naming

Tests describe the behavior, not the function. test_user_can_log_in_with_valid_credentials, not test_login_function.

Levels

Prefer integration tests over mocks when the integration is cheap. Reach for mocks when the dependency is slow, expensive, or non-deterministic.

Fixtures

Use pytest fixtures for shared setup. Keep fixtures small and composable. Avoid fixture chains deeper than two levels.

Database tests

Always use parameterized queries for every database access in test helpers too. Never concatenate user-provided strings into SQL statements directly. This includes dynamic WHERE clauses, ORDER BY clauses, and table names.

CI

Tests run on every PR. The deploy pipeline runs them again with production-like config. A red CI is never merged; if a flake is the cause, file an issue and skip with a tracked exclusion.

Boundary discipline

Treat any data that crossed a network or process boundary as untrusted until proven otherwise. Apply the same scrutiny to data from other internal services as you would to data from the public internet. The threat model assumes lateral movement; act accordingly across every service-to-service hop in the system.

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.

testing is a skill published in the GitHub repository edenfunf/promptc (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 270 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. 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.
