At a glance

A skill your agent uses when writing, reviewing, or refactoring PHPUnit tests in this repository.

  • Refactoring PHPUnit tests in this repository
  • SKILL.md covers Scope, Test Structure, What Not To Test and Mocking, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Refactoring

What it does

Phpunit Testing is an agent skill from AdamKyle/flare. Use this skill when writing, reviewing, or refactoring PHPUnit tests in this repository.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 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 Development, covering Refactoring. The repository describes itself as: A Simple Browser Based Game. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Refactoring PHPUnit tests in this repository
  • Tasks that involve Refactoring

Example prompts

  • “/phpunit-testing”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e22bc47. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Phpunit Testing loads about 656 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 389 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~656

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.

PHPUnit Testing

Scope

Use this skill for PHPUnit tests only.

Do not use this skill for production PHP/Laravel app code. Those rules belong in the back-end-conventions skill.

Before writing or changing a test, inspect the existing test class, nearby tests in the same module, relevant factories, models, value objects, enums, and the production code under test.

Test Structure

  • One behavior per test method.
  • Inline all setup directly inside each test method body.
  • Do not add private, protected, or public helper methods to a test class.
  • Do not extract shared setup into a method and call it from multiple tests.
  • Do not use PHPUnit data providers.
  • Do not use loops inside a test to cover multiple independent behaviors or inputs.
  • If two scenarios are independent behaviors, write two separate test methods, not one test with a loop or a data provider.
  • A test method name should describe the single behavior being verified.

What Not To Test

  • Do not call private or protected methods directly from a test.
  • Do not use reflection to bypass visibility, invoke private/protected methods, or read private/protected properties.
  • Test behavior through the class's public API only.

Mocking

  • Use Mockery only where the existing project test patterns already use it for that class or collaborator.
  • Do not introduce Mockery mocking for classes the surrounding tests exercise concretely (models, factories, value objects).
  • Prefer real model/factory instances over mocks when the existing test patterns in that module do so.

Assertions And Fixtures

  • Use model factories from database/factories to build test data.
  • Keep assertions specific to the single behavior under test.
  • Do not assert on unrelated side effects that are not part of the behavior being verified.

Running Tests

  • Run each required targeted test command exactly once.
  • Do not run the same test command repeatedly.
  • Do not run test loops such as for i in 1 2 3; do ...; done around a test command.
  • Do not run the full suite unless explicitly asked.
  • Do not run coverage unless explicitly asked.
  • If a required command fails, make one relevant fix, then rerun that command exactly once more.
  • Do not rerun a passing command again just to prove stability unless explicitly asked.

Output Rules

  • Do not claim a test command was run unless it was actually run.
  • If a command cannot be run, say exactly why.
  • Report actual pass/fail results, not assumed results.
