contract-testing-flywheel

contract-testing-flywheel is a skill for Claude Code from pactflow/pactflow-agent-skills. It costs 144 tokens per session (3,449 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that creates an onboarding backlog for contract testing, which checks that software using an API and the API provider agree on its behavior. The backlog can be sent to Jira, GitHub, or Azure DevOps, or exported as Markdown.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a contract-testing rollout, choose a tracking system, and create tasks for consumer and provider tests.
Why use it?
It gives a team a structured path from planning contract tests to publishing and verifying them. It can still produce the plan when no project-management connection is available.

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-flywheel 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 205 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

contract-testing-flywheel

Generates a one-shot onboarding backlog for a team's contract-testing rollout, modelled on the 7-stage Contract Testing Flywheel (with the Maintenance phase replaced by Lessons-Learned + an optional Management Dashboard, per the plugin's design). Works with Jira, GitHub Issues/Projects, or Azure DevOps — or, if none of those is connected, renders the whole backlog as a markdown export for manual import.

Step 1 — Choose the scrum tool

Ask: "Which tool should this backlog go into? Jira · GitHub Issues/Projects · Azure DevOps · Other/manual export"

Use $ARGUMENTS to skip this question only if it unambiguously names one of the three tools (e.g. --tool=github); otherwise ask.

Then check that tool's availability check in lib/scrum-tool-adapters.md:

  • Available → note the adapter row (hierarchy terms, idempotency query, create/link/comment mechanism) and continue to Step 2 in live-creation mode.
  • Not available (tool chosen but its MCP/CLI isn't connected), or "Other/manual export" chosen → continue to Step 2 in manual-export mode. This is not an error: if a specific tool was chosen but isn't connected, mention once that connecting it (Atlassian MCP for Jira, gh auth login or a GitHub MCP for GitHub, az login + az extension add --name azure-devops or an Azure DevOps MCP for Azure DevOps) would enable live creation next time, then proceed with the export anyway. Do not hard-stop.

When both an MCP server and a CLI could serve the chosen tool, prefer the MCP's equivalent tools when one is connected; use the CLI otherwise.

Step 2 — Gather inputs

Resolve each input in order. Use $ARGUMENTS for input 1 if present; only ask for what is not already known.

# Input How to resolve
1 Project / workspace identifier $ARGUMENTS first; otherwise ask, shaped by the Step 1 tool: Jira project key (e.g. PACT) · GitHub owner/repo · Azure DevOps org/project. Skip if manual-export mode with no tool chosen.
2 Team / unit name Ask. Used to title the root item and label tickets.
3 Consumer system name Ask. Single value.
4 Provider system name Ask. Single value.
5 Primary language / stack Single-choice ask: Node/TS · JVM · Python · Go · .NET · Ruby · Rust · Other
6 CT mode Single-choice ask: CDCT · BDCT · Both
7 Broker URL (optional) Ask, allow blank. If blank, ticket wording uses "your Pact Broker or PactFlow tenant".
8 CI tool Single-choice ask: GitHub Actions · GitLab CI · Buildkite · Jenkins · CircleCI · Other
9 Include optional Phase 8 (management dashboard)? Yes/no.
10 (Azure DevOps only) Process template Single-choice ask: Agile (default) · Scrum · Basic — resolves {{delivery_term}} per lib/scrum-tool-adapters.md. Skip entirely for every other tool.

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.
