bats-testing-patterns

bats-testing-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rmyndharis/antigravity-skills. It costs 42 tokens per session (255 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Bats, the Bash Automated Testing System, for testing shell scripts. It covers test setup, fixtures, exit codes, output, side effects, and running tests in continuous integration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test Bash utilities, CI/CD scripts, error conditions, setup and cleanup behavior, and compatibility across supported shell environments.
Why use it?
It helps catch script failures and edge cases before they affect deployments or other automation. It also supports test-driven development, where tests are written before or alongside the code.

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

bats-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 8d 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

Bats Testing Patterns

Comprehensive guidance for writing comprehensive unit tests for shell scripts using Bats (Bash Automated Testing System), including test patterns, fixtures, and best practices for production-grade shell testing.

Use this skill when

  • Writing unit tests for shell scripts
  • Implementing TDD for scripts
  • Setting up automated testing in CI/CD pipelines
  • Testing edge cases and error conditions
  • Validating behavior across shell environments

Do not use this skill when

  • The project does not use shell scripts
  • You need integration tests beyond shell behavior
  • The goal is only linting or formatting

Instructions

  • Confirm shell dialects and supported environments.
  • Set up a test structure with helpers and fixtures.
  • Write tests for exit codes, output, and side effects.
  • Add setup/teardown and run tests in CI.
  • If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Resources

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

test-driven-execution

Before writing any implementation code, define the acceptance criteria and test cases that the code must satisfy. Agents then write code to pass these tests — not to match a vague description. Eliminates "it works on my machine" and "I think this is what you wanted" outcomes.
