configure-api-tests

configure-api-tests is a skill for Claude Code from laurigates/claude-plugins. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,928 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for testing whether software components agree on an API: the rules for requests and responses between them. It covers Pact, OpenAPI, JSON Schema, and Zod.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create consumer and provider contract tests, validate API requests and responses, test schemas, and detect breaking API changes in CI.
Why use it?
It can catch changes that break users or services depending on an API before those changes reach production.

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

configure-api-tests 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.

/configure:api-tests

Check and configure API contract testing infrastructure for validating API contracts, schemas, and consumer-provider agreements.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when... Use another approach when...
Setting up Pact consumer/provider contract tests Writing individual unit tests (/configure:tests)
Configuring OpenAPI request/response validation Validating a single API endpoint manually
Adding JSON Schema or Zod schema testing Checking general test coverage (/configure:coverage)
Detecting breaking API changes in CI Reviewing API design decisions (code-review agent)
Auditing API testing compliance across a project Configuring general CI/CD workflows (/configure:workflows)

Context

  • Project root: !pwd
  • Package files: !find . -maxdepth 1 \( -name 'package.json' -o -name 'pyproject.toml' \)
  • Pact deps: !find . -maxdepth 1 \( -name package.json -o -name pyproject.toml \) -exec grep -l 'pact' {} +
  • OpenAPI spec: !find . -maxdepth 1 \( -name 'openapi.yaml' -o -name 'openapi.json' -o -name 'swagger.json' \)
  • Pact dir: !find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -name 'pacts'
  • Contract tests: !find . -path '*/tests/*' -maxdepth 3 -type d -name 'contract'
  • Project standards: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name '.project-standards.yaml'

Parameters

Parse from command arguments:

  • --check-only: Report compliance status without modifications (CI/CD mode)
  • --fix: Apply fixes automatically without prompting
  • --type <pact|openapi|schema>: Focus on specific type

API Testing Types:

Type Use Case
Pact Microservices, multiple consumers, breaking change detection
OpenAPI API-first development, documentation-driven testing
Schema Simple validation, GraphQL APIs, single service

Execution

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.
