What it does

Run Tests is an agent skill from Amplicode/spring-skills. Run a Gradle project's tests by test type or module — unit, integration, or all. Use this skill whenever the user wants to run, re-run, or check the project's tests (e.g. "run the unit tests", "run all tests", "run the integration tests for the vet module", "did the tests pass?").

Its SKILL.md is about 430 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/gradle.md`, `references/ide.md` and `references/report.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Integration testing and Unit testing. It works with Gradle. The repository describes itself as: Amplicode Agent Tools.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to run
  • Check the projects tests (e.g

Example prompts

  • “s tests (e.g.”
  • “run all tests”
  • “run the integration tests for the vet module”
  • “/run-tests”

Requirements

  • Docker

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bf19b3c. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    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

Run Tests loads about 432 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 196 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~432
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.5k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 196 words (~432 tokens).
