ag-kit: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/testing-patterns/SKILL.md

testing-patterns is a skill for Claude Code from vudovn/ag-kit. It costs 16 tokens per session (871 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to software testing patterns, covering unit tests for individual pieces of code, integration tests for connected parts, and end-to-end tests for complete user flows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan test coverage, structure tests with setup-action-check steps, and decide what belongs in each test type.
Why use it?
It helps you choose appropriate tests and build test suites that are fast, isolated, repeatable, and useful.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is vudovn/ag-kit's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on ag-kit itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ag-kit configures →

About the project

AG Kit is a toolkit that gives Google Antigravity coding agents a structured workspace with rules, skills, specialist agents, workflows, persistent memory, orchestration, MCP guidance, and a safety hook. It is for building and operating agent workflows in Antigravity, and its catalogue entries provide parts of that workspace contract.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/test_runner.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Testing Patterns

Principles for reliable test suites.


1. Testing Pyramid

        /\          E2E (Few)
       /  \         Critical flows
      /----\
     /      \       Integration (Some)
    /--------\      API, DB queries
   /          \
  /------------\    Unit (Many)
                    Functions, classes

2. AAA Pattern

Step Purpose
Arrange Set up test data
Act Execute code under test
Assert Verify outcome

3. Test Type Selection

When to Use Each

Type Best For Speed
Unit Pure functions, logic Fast (<100ms)
Integration API, DB, services Medium
E2E Critical user flows Slow

4. Unit Test Principles

Good Unit Tests

Principle Meaning
Fast < 100ms each
Isolated No external deps
Repeatable Same result always
Self-checking No manual verification
Timely Written with code

What to Unit Test

Test Don't Test
Business logic Framework code
Edge cases Third-party libs
Error handling Simple getters

5. Integration Test Principles

What to Test

Area Focus
API endpoints Request/response
Database Queries, transactions
External services Contracts

Setup/Teardown

Phase Action
Before All Connect resources
Before Each Reset state
After Each Clean up
After All Disconnect

6. Mocking Principles

When to Mock

Mock Don't Mock
External APIs The code under test
Database (unit) Simple dependencies
Time/random Pure functions
Network In-memory stores

Mock Types

Type Use
Stub Return fixed values
Spy Track calls
Mock Set expectations
Fake Simplified implementation

7. Test Organization

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.

testing-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository vudovn/ag-kit (8,199 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 871 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
