What it does
Testing Patterns is an agent skill from bybren-llc/safe-agentic-workflow. Testing patterns for unit, integration, and end-to-end tests. Use when writing tests, setting up test fixtures, or validating RLS enforcement. Routes to existing test conventions.
Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets.
It sits in Testing & QA, covering Test strategy and Test data and fixtures. The repository describes itself as: SAW — SAFe Agentic Workflow AI Agent Harness for Multi-Agent Team Workflows Built on SAFe methodology (Scaled Agile Framework), adapted for AI agent teams (Now With AI-DLC!)… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Setting up test fixtures
- Validating RLS enforcement
Example prompts
- “/testing-patterns”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 26ca58b. 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
Testing Patterns loads about 499 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 50 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
The full file from bybren-llc/safe-agentic-workflow at commit 26ca58b, republished under its MIT licence (© bybren-llc). 50 words, ~499 tokens.

Critical Rules
FORBIDDEN
// Direct Prisma calls bypass RLS
const user = await prisma.user.findUnique({ where: { user_id } });
// Shared test state causes flaky tests
let sharedUser: User;
beforeAll(() => { sharedUser = createUser(); });CORRECT
// Use RLS context helpers
const user = await withSystemContext(prisma, "test", async (client) => {
return client.user.findUnique({ where: { user_id } });
});
// Isolated test state
beforeEach(() => {
const testUser = createTestUser();
});
// Unique identifiers
