python-testing-patterns

python-testing-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from KunanonJ/ai-skills-hub. It costs 38 tokens per session (334 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of python-testing-patterns, MIT.

A guide to testing Python software with pytest, a tool for discovering and running Python tests. It covers reusable test setup, mocked dependencies, API and database tests, asynchronous code, and test-driven development, where tests are written before the implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write Python tests, create fixtures, mock services, test APIs and databases, test asynchronous code, measure coverage, and follow TDD.
Why use it?
It helps organize test suites and check code reliably across different inputs and external services. It also provides ways to investigate failing tests and run testing in continuous integration systems.

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

python-testing-patterns 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.

What it actually says

Python Testing Patterns

Comprehensive guide to implementing robust testing strategies in Python using pytest, fixtures, mocking, parameterization, and test-driven development practices.

Use this skill when

  • Writing unit tests for Python code
  • Setting up test suites and test infrastructure
  • Implementing test-driven development (TDD)
  • Creating integration tests for APIs and services
  • Mocking external dependencies and services
  • Testing async code and concurrent operations
  • Setting up continuous testing in CI/CD
  • Implementing property-based testing
  • Testing database operations
  • Debugging failing tests

Do not use this skill when

  • The task is unrelated to python testing patterns
  • You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

  • Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
  • Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
  • Provide actionable steps and verification.
  • If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Resources

  • resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed patterns and examples.

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
