What it does

Testing is an agent skill from ad-repo/nullplayer. UI testing mode, accessibility identifiers, and testing workflows. Use when writing tests, adding testable UI elements, or understanding test structure and philosophy.

Its SKILL.md is about 5.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA. The repository describes itself as: nullPlayer is a free open source macOS media player with some unique features.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding testable UI elements
  • Understanding test structure and philosophy

Example prompts

  • “/testing”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Never Modify Code to Pass Tests
  2. Never Dumb Down Tests
  3. Quality Over Quantity
  4. Target 95% Code Coverage
  5. End-to-End Tests Must Be Realistic

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9281472. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • swift
    • xcodebuild
    • osascript
    • xcrun

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Testing loads about 5.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,258 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,258 words (~5,262 tokens).

“This document defines the testing philosophy, standards, and practices for NullPlayer.”
