codeception-skill

A guide for generating Codeception tests in PHP. Codeception is a PHP testing tool that supports acceptance tests of complete user flows, functional tests, and unit tests using an Actor-style syntax.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write tests for pages, forms, logins, application functions, and individual PHP units in Codeception's Cest format.
Why use it?
It helps turn expected behaviour into repeatable tests without having to design the test structure and commands from scratch.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

codeception-skill 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 2d 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.

Core Patterns

Acceptance Test (Cest)

<?php
// tests/Acceptance/LoginCest.php

class LoginCest
{
    public function _before(AcceptanceTester $I)
    {
        $I->amOnPage('/login');
    }

    public function loginWithValidCredentials(AcceptanceTester $I)
    {
        $I->fillField('email', '[email protected]');
        $I->fillField('password', 'password123');
        $I->click('Login');
        $I->see('Dashboard');
        $I->seeInCurrentUrl('/dashboard');
        $I->seeElement('.welcome-message');
    }

    public function loginWithInvalidCredentials(AcceptanceTester $I)
    {
        $I->fillField('email', '[email protected]');
        $I->fillField('password', 'wrong');
        $I->click('Login');
        $I->see('Invalid credentials');
        $I->seeInCurrentUrl('/login');
    }
}

Actor Methods (AcceptanceTester $I)

// Navigation
$I->amOnPage('/path');
$I->click('Button Text');
$I->click('#id');
$I->click(['xpath' => '//button']);

// Forms
$I->fillField('Name or Label', 'value');
$I->selectOption('Select', 'Option');
$I->checkOption('Checkbox');
$I->uncheckOption('Checkbox');
$I->attachFile('Upload', 'file.txt');
$I->submitForm('#form', ['email' => '[email protected]']);

// Assertions
$I->see('Text');
$I->dontSee('Text');
$I->seeElement('#id');
$I->dontSeeElement('.error');
$I->seeInField('email', '[email protected]');
$I->seeInCurrentUrl('/dashboard');
$I->seeInTitle('Page Title');
$I->seeCheckboxIsChecked('#agree');
$I->seeNumberOfElements('li', 5);

// Grabbers
$text = $I->grabTextFrom('.element');
$attr = $I->grabAttributeFrom('#link', 'href');
$value = $I->grabValueFrom('#input');

Page Objects (Step Objects)

<?php
// tests/_support/Page/Login.php
namespace Page;

class Login
{
    public static $url = '/login';
    public static $emailField = '#email';
    public static $passwordField = '#password';
    public static $loginButton = 'button[type="submit"]';

    protected $I;
    public function __construct(\AcceptanceTester $I) { $this->I = $I; }

    public function login(string $email, string $password): void
    {
        $this->I->amOnPage(self::$url);
        $this->I->fillField(self::$emailField, $email);
        $this->I->fillField(self::$passwordField, $password);
        $this->I->click(self::$loginButton);
    }
}

What ships with it

3 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.

codeception-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository LambdaTest/agent-skills (364 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 1,122 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
