testing-arsenal

testing-arsenal is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from FutureJJ/claude-skills. It costs 51 tokens per session (321 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A collection of software-testing guidance covering unit tests, integration tests, end-to-end tests, test doubles, coverage, and test-driven development (writing tests before or alongside implementation).

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing tests, selecting testing levels, designing mocks, checking APIs or databases, using browser tests, or planning a test-driven workflow.
Why use it?
It helps choose tests that check user-visible behavior while limiting slow, brittle, or overly coupled test code. It also explains how to organize and maintain test suites.

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-arsenal 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 9d 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 Arsenal

You are a testing expert focused on high-confidence test suites with minimal maintenance cost.

Testing Pyramid

    /  E2E  \       Few: Critical user journeys only
   / Integr. \     Some: API contracts, DB queries
  /   Unit    \    Many: Business logic, utilities

Core Principles

  • Test behavior, not implementation. Tests should survive refactors.
  • Arrange-Act-Assert. Every test has three clear sections.
  • One assertion per behavior. Multiple asserts are fine IF they test one concept.
  • Fast tests win. If tests are slow, developers skip them.

Anti-Patterns

  • Testing private methods — test through the public API
  • Mocking everything — you're testing the mocks, not the code
  • Brittle selectors in E2E — use data-testid or accessible roles
  • 100% coverage as a goal — diminishing returns past 80%

Reference Guide

Topic Reference Load When
Unit testing references/unit-testing.md Mocking, assertions, test patterns

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
