clean-unit-testing

clean-unit-testing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fady-ramzy91/community-ai-skills. It costs 88 tokens per session (1,150 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidelines for writing and reviewing unit tests using Clean Code principles and test-driven development, or TDD. TDD means writing a small failing test before the production code that makes it pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when creating, refactoring, reviewing, or assessing unit tests and test coverage in any language or test framework.
Why use it?
They keep tests focused, readable, and meaningful instead of allowing broad or fragile checks. The red-green-refactor cycle provides a small, repeatable way to develop behavior.

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

clean-unit-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.

Clean Unit Testing (Clean Code, Ch. 9)

Apply these rules every time you write, generate, refactor, or review unit tests. Language and framework may vary; the principles do not.

Non-negotiable principles

1. Three Laws of TDD (order is mandatory)

  1. Do not write production code until a failing unit test exists.
  2. Do not write more of a unit test than is sufficient to fail (compile failure counts as failure).
  3. Do not write more production code than is sufficient to pass the currently failing test.

Workflow: red → green → refactor. Prefer the smallest possible step.

If the user asks to "implement then test", push back once and propose test-first. If they insist, still write behavior-focused, single-concept tests afterward — never rubber-stamp buggy code.

2. Tests are first-class code

  • Test code is as important as production code — not a second-class citizen.
  • Prefer deleting or rewriting dirty tests over letting them rot.
  • Never leave print / console.log / log-only checks as the verification step.

3. One concept per test

  • Each test function verifies one behavior / one concept.
  • Multiple asserts are OK only if they verify the same concept.
  • Split kitchen-sink tests (test1, “comprehensive”, “checks everything”) into separate named tests.

4. F.I.R.S.T.

Rule Requirement
Fast No real network, disk DB, or heavy I/O. Use fakes/stubs/in-memory doubles.
Independent No shared mutable state; no order dependence; reset in setup/teardown if needed.
Repeatable Inject clock/time, randomness, locale, and environment — never rely on wall clock or live services.
Self-validating Assert true/false (or equivalent). Never require a human to read output.
Timely Write the test with (preferably before) the production code it covers.

5. Readability first

  • Names must describe behavior: subject_condition_expected or `given X when Y then Z`.
  • A failing test name at 2 a.m. should explain what broke without opening the body.
  • Prefer Given-When-Then structure in the body when it aids clarity.
  • Prefer asserting outcomes over verifying every mock interaction.

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.
