testing

testing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from getlytos/lytos-cli. It costs 59 tokens per session (3,111 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A testing guide for writing and reviewing unit, integration, and end-to-end tests. Unit tests check small pieces of logic, integration tests check parts working together, and end-to-end tests check complete user journeys.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to decide what tests to write, add regression tests after fixes, preserve coverage during refactoring, and audit a project's testing quality.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent way to test new features, bug fixes, refactors, and overall coverage. Its Testing Trophy approach emphasizes integration tests while still using fast checks and a small number of key end-to-end tests.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is const app = require('../src/app');.

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 1mo 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.

Skill — Testing

This skill defines how to write tests on a project using Lytos. It covers unit tests and end-to-end tests. An agent loaded with this skill knows what to test, how to structure tests, and what coverage criteria to meet.


When to invoke this skill

  • After writing a new feature
  • After a fix — the test must prove the bug won't come back
  • During a refactoring — existing tests must continue to pass
  • During a quality audit — check overall coverage

Testing strategy

Follow the Testing Trophy model (Kent C. Dodds): the highest return on investment comes from integration tests, not unit tests.

        ╱╲          E2E — few, critical journeys only
       ╱  ╲

╱________________╲  Static analysis — linting, type checking, formatting
Layer Volume What it catches
Static analysis Runs on every save/commit Typos, type errors, style drift
Unit tests Many, fast Logic errors in pure functions
Integration tests Most of your tests Broken contracts between modules, DB queries, API routes
E2E tests Few, slow Critical user journeys broken across the full stack

Write more integration tests than unit tests. Reserve E2E for the journeys where a failure means lost revenue or data.


Unit tests

Principles

  • A unit test tests one single thing
  • It is independent — does not depend on execution order or another test
  • It is fast — no network calls, no database (use mocks)
  • It is deterministic — the same input always gives the same result

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 getlytos/lytos-cli (2 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 3,111 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
