bats-testing-patterns

bats-testing-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from FluxonLab/Skillry. It costs 42 tokens per session (3,329 once invoked), scanned D, original, no licence file.

A guide to Bats, a testing tool for Bash and other shell scripts. It covers patterns for testing shell utilities and scripts, including test-driven development (TDD), where tests are written before or alongside the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write tests for Bash utilities, shell scripts, and CI/CD pipeline code, including TDD-based workflows.
Why use it?
It helps replace improvised checks with repeatable tests for shell code and CI/CD scripts. This makes failures easier to detect while changes are being made.

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 D, and why

bats-testing-patterns scanned grade D with 3 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 6d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

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.
