api-testing

api-testing is a skill for Claude Code from idavidov13/agentic-playwright. It costs 132 tokens per session (5,007 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for writing API tests with Playwright, a browser-testing tool that can also send HTTP requests. It covers response checks with Zod, request validation, reusable test fixtures, and handling path parameters.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or updating Playwright API tests. It helps test response shapes, missing or wrongly typed fields, invalid URL parameters, shared setup, and API failures that need tracking.
Why use it?
It prevents tests from hiding invalid responses, hardcoded environment details, incomplete request validation, or undocumented API behavior. It also makes multi-request tests easier to follow.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Privilege Escalation · line 13
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.
  • high Tool Misuse · line 223
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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

api-testing scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

API Testing

Critical

These rules are non-negotiable. Violating any of them breaks the scaffold's contract.

  • NEVER hardcode API URLs, access tokens, emails, passwords, or endpoint paths. The only allowed sources of truth are process.env.* (for URLs and credentials) and the enums/{area}/* enums (for endpoint paths, e.g. ApiEndpoints.LOGIN).
  • ALWAYS validate API response bodies with Zod using the exact assertion pattern expect(SchemaName.parse(body)).toBeTruthy();. Type generics alone are not enough, and schema.parse(body) without the expect(...).toBeTruthy() wrapper is not enough.
  • ALWAYS wrap each API call in test.step() when a test contains more than one API call.
  • NEVER silently drop a test because the API misbehaves. Write the test as the spec says, wrap it in test.skip, and add a // FIXME: <ticket-url> comment.
  • NEVER stop at {} empty-body validation. Every request-body endpoint requires per-field omission and per-field invalid-type tests.
  • ALWAYS fuzz path parameters with the invalid-format data-driven loop — regardless of whether OpenAPI mentions it.
  • ALWAYS use the apiRequest fixture directly in tests. Only promote to a helper fixture when the same setup/teardown is reused across 3+ test files.

Instructions

Phase 1: Source the contract (documentation first, exploration only as fallback)

The API contract — not observed behavior — is the source of truth for schemas and tests.

  1. If OpenAPI / Swagger / equivalent documentation exists (the normal case):
    • Build schemas and tests strictly from the documented contract: field names, types, required vs optional, nullability, status codes, error shapes.
    • Do NOT curl the endpoint first to "see what it returns" and then write schemas that match reality.
    • If, during test execution, the actual response disagrees with the documentation (missing field, wrong type, wrong status code, extra field), that is a bug to report, not a reason to loosen the schema. Handle it via Phase 7 (test.skip + // FIXME: <ticket-url>).

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.
