Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00038 | $0.05820 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.02328 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.01164 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00582 |
Grade A, and why
build-tools-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 today.
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 — 574 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Build Tests
Generate integration tests for MCP tool collections created by /build-tools. This skill reads .discover.json and the existing tool files, then builds test infrastructure and test files one collection at a time.
IMPORTANT: This skill ONLY creates files inside __tests__/ directories — test files, setup, builders, and helpers. Do NOT create or modify ANY other files. This means: no tool files, no collection indexes, no registrations, no API client files (src/umbraco-api/api/), no generated code (src/umbraco-api/api/generated/), no mock handlers (src/mocks/). If existing code doesn't support what you need, work within the constraints — do not modify it.
Prerequisites
Before running, ensure:
- You have run
/build-tools(tool collections exist insrc/umbraco-api/tools/) - The project compiles:
npm run compile - The Umbraco instance is running
- An API user exists — remind the user: "You need to create an API user via the Umbraco backoffice UI: Settings > Users, with Client ID
umbraco-back-office-mcpand Client Secret1234567890"
Arguments
- No arguments: build tests for all collections from
.discover.json - Single collection name: build tests only for that collection (e.g.
/build-tools-tests form)
Agents
This skill orchestrates the following agents — use them for the relevant steps:
| Agent | When to use |
|---|---|
test-builder-helper-creator |
Creating builders and helpers (Steps 4-5) |
integration-test-creator |
Creating test files (Step 7) |
integration-test-validator |
Validating test quality (Step 8) |
Critical Rules
ONE FILE AT A TIME. This applies to ALL files — builders, helpers, builder tests, and tool tests. After creating any file:
- Compile:
npm run compile - If it has tests, run just that file:
node --experimental-vm-modules node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js --runInBand path/to/file.test.ts(notnpm test -- <path>: thetestscript already passes--testPathPatterns=__tests__, and Jest ORs a positional path with it, so that runs every__tests__file) - Fix any failures
- Only then create the next file
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.
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.

build-tools-tests is a skill published in the GitHub repository umbraco/Umbraco-MCP-Base (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 5,820 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
