contract-testing

contract-testing is a skill for Claude Code from ivegamsft/basecoat. It costs 85 tokens per session (380 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to consumer-driven contract testing between services. These tests describe what one service expects from another and check that the provider still meets those expectations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create Pact contracts, verify providers, configure provider states, run checks through a Pact Broker or CI, and orchestrate tests with Docker Compose.
Why use it?
It catches service changes that would break consumers before deployment. It also covers preparing test data and coordinating integration tests across multiple services.

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

contract-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 5d 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

Contract Testing Skill

Consumer-driven contract tests, Pact broker workflows, provider verification, and Docker Compose integration orchestration.

Quick Start

  1. Define consumer contracts using Pact — one per consumer/provider pair.
  2. Write provider states for every contract interaction.
  3. Run provider verification in CI against the Pact broker or local files.
  4. Orchestrate full integration suites with Docker Compose.
  5. Target >85% mutation score; block deployment if contract verification fails.

Reference Files

File Contents
references/pact-patterns.md Consumer contract definition, provider verification, provider states setup
references/e2e-orchestration.md Selenium E2E, Docker Compose orchestration, mutation testing, report template

Key Patterns

Pattern Rule
Consumer-driven Consumer writes the contract; provider must satisfy it
Provider states /provider-states endpoint seeds DB before each interaction
Mutation gate >85% mutation score required before merging
Deployment gate BLOCKED if any contract fails verification

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.
