clerk-testing

clerk-testing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vvedantb/eva. It costs 23 tokens per session (506 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A testing guide for Clerk sign-in and account flows using Playwright or Cypress, tools that automate browser tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up end-to-end tests, initialise Clerk’s test environment, reuse logged-in sessions, and test Clerk user-interface components.
Why use it?
It helps tests use isolated test accounts and test keys without relying on production credentials or fragile authentication steps.

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

clerk-testing 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 4d 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

Testing

Decision Tree

Framework Documentation
Overview https://clerk.com/docs/guides/development/testing/overview
Playwright https://clerk.com/docs/guides/development/testing/playwright/overview
Cypress https://clerk.com/docs/guides/development/testing/cypress/overview

Mental Model

Test auth = isolated session state. Each test needs fresh auth context.

  • clerkSetup() initializes test environment
  • setupClerkTestingToken() bypasses bot detection
  • storageState persists auth between tests for speed

Workflow

  1. Identify test framework (Playwright or Cypress)
  2. WebFetch the appropriate URL from decision tree above
  3. Follow official setup instructions
  4. Use pk_test_* and sk_test_* keys only

Best Practices

  • Use setupClerkTestingToken() before navigating to auth pages
  • Use test API keys: pk_test_xxx, sk_test_xxx
  • Save auth state with storageState for faster tests
  • Use page.waitForSelector('[data-clerk-component]') for Clerk UI

Anti-Patterns

Pattern Problem Fix
Production keys in tests Security risk Use pk_test_* keys
No setupClerkTestingToken() Auth fails Call before navigation
UI-based sign-in every test Slow tests Use storageState

Framework-Specific

Playwright: Use globalSetup for auth state Cypress: Add addClerkCommands({ Cypress, cy }) to support file

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.

clerk-testing is a skill published in the GitHub repository vvedantb/eva (101 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 506 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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.
