Akka.NET Testing Patterns
Aaronontheweb/dotnet-skills
Shows how to test Akka.NET actors with Akka.Hosting.TestKit: swapping services for fakes, using TestProbes, and checking persistence, plus when the older TestKit still fits.
F testing patterns with xUnit, FsUnit, Unquote, FsCheck property-based testing, integration tests, and test organization best practices.

fsharp-testingF testing patterns with xUnit, FsUnit, Unquote, FsCheck property-based testing, integration tests, and test organization best practices.
Fsharp Testing is an agent skill from affaan-m/ECC. F testing patterns with xUnit, FsUnit, Unquote, FsCheck property-based testing, integration tests, and test organization best practices. Use when writing F tests with xUnit, FsUnit, Unquote, or FsCheck.
Its SKILL.md is about 2k 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, covering Unit testing, Integration testing and Test strategy. It works with .NET. The repository describes itself as: The agent harness performance optimization system. Skills, instincts, memory, security, and research-first development for Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, Cursor and beyond. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ef648e0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
dotnetFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Fsharp Testing loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 238 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

F testing patterns with xUnit, FsUnit, Unquote, FsCheck property-based testing, integration tests, and test organization best practices. Fsharp Testing is an agent skill from affaan-m/ECC. F testing patterns with xUnit, FsUnit, Unquote, FsCheck property-based testing, integration tests, and test organization best practices.
Fsharp Testing fits situations like: writing F tests with xUnit; tasks that involve Unit testing; tasks that involve Integration testing.
Run `npx skills add affaan-m/ECC --skill fsharp-testing -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/fsharp-testing in affaan-m/ECC) into .claude/skills/fsharp-testing in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add affaan-m/ECC --skill fsharp-testing -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/fsharp-testing in affaan-m/ECC) into .agents/skills/fsharp-testing in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add affaan-m/ECC --skill fsharp-testing -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/fsharp-testing, .gemini/skills/fsharp-testing, .github/skills/fsharp-testing and .opencode/skills/fsharp-testing in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Fsharp Testing needs the command-line tools its instructions call (dotnet).
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Fsharp Testing is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Fsharp Testing: Akka.NET Testing Patterns (Aaronontheweb/dotnet-skills, 1.2k stars), Dotnet Testing (novotnyllc/dotnet-artisan, 233 stars), New Event Source (aws/aws-lambda-dotnet, 1.7k stars) and Aspire Integration Testing (DevBetterCom/DevBetterWeb, 157 stars).
