Testing patterns for Jest and Playwright. An agent skill from bybren-llc/safe-agentic-workflow.

  • Setting up test fixtures
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, When This Skill Applies, Critical Rules and Test Commands, plus 2 more sections
  • Calls yarn
  • Validating RLS enforcement

What it does

Testing Patterns is an agent skill from bybren-llc/safe-agentic-workflow. Testing patterns for Jest and Playwright. Use when writing tests, setting up test fixtures, or validating RLS enforcement. Routes to existing test conventions.

Its SKILL.md is about 480 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Test strategy, Unit testing and Test data and fixtures. It works with Jest and Playwright. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • yarn

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use yarn, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 478 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 50 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~478

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.

Testing Patterns Skill

Purpose

Guide consistent and effective testing. Routes to existing test patterns and provides evidence templates.

When This Skill Applies

  • Writing unit or integration tests
  • Setting up test fixtures with RLS
  • Running test suites
  • Packaging test evidence

Critical Rules

❌ FORBIDDEN
typescript
// 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
typescript
// 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
const userId = `user-${crypto.randomUUID()}`;

Test Commands

bash
yarn test:unit              # Unit tests
yarn test:integration       # Integration tests
yarn test:e2e               # E2E tests (Playwright)
yarn ci:validate            # Full validation

Test Directory Structure

└── setup.ts           # Global setup
