What it does
Test Before Ship is an agent skill from aiming-lab/MetaClaw. Use this skill when implementing a new feature or fixing a bug. Write or update tests before marking the task done. Never consider code complete without verifying it works through automated tests.
Its SKILL.md is about 230 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: 🦞 Just talk to your agent — it learns and EVOLVES 🧬. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Implementing a new feature
Example prompts
- “/test-before-ship”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 922caf3. 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
Test Before Ship loads about 232 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 102 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.
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.

Test Before Ship
Test pyramid:
- Unit tests for pure functions and business logic (fast, many).
- Integration tests for service interactions and DB queries (medium).
- End-to-end tests for critical user journeys (slow, few).
Test quality checklist:
- Does the test actually fail when the code is broken?
- Does it cover the happy path AND the most likely error cases?
- Is the test name descriptive enough to diagnose a failure from the name alone?
For bug fixes: add a regression test that reproduces the bug before fixing it.
Anti-patterns:
- Tests that only test the mock, not the real behavior.
- Skipping tests because "it probably works".
