At a glance

Testing patterns for FastAPI with pytest-asyncio, httpx AsyncClient, fixtures, and test data factories.

  • Works in 5 steps: Happy path (create, read, update, delete) → Not found (404) → Validation error (422) → …
  • Setting up test infrastructure
  • SKILL.md covers Setup (CRITICAL), Test Client, Required Coverage Per Endpoint and Test Naming, plus 3 more sections
  • Calls pytest

What it does

Python Testing Strategies is an agent skill from c0x12c/ai-toolkit. Testing patterns for FastAPI with pytest-asyncio, httpx AsyncClient, fixtures, and test data factories. Use when writing tests, setting up test infrastructure, or improving coverage in a FastAPI project.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `examples.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Test strategy, Backend development and Test data and fixtures. It works with Python, FastAPI and pytest.

When your agent uses it

  • Setting up test infrastructure
  • Improving coverage in a FastAPI project

Example prompts

  • “/python-testing-strategies”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Happy path (create, read, update, delete)
  2. Not found (404)
  3. Validation error (422)
  4. Auth failure (401) — if protected
  5. Soft delete — deleted records not returned

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 96b2c9d. 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:

    • pytest

    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

Python Testing Strategies loads about 747 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 301 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~747

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 301 words (~747 tokens).

“Set asyncio_mode = "auto" in pyproject.toml to auto-detect async tests without markers. (The default "strict" mode also works if you mark tests with @pytest.mark.asyncio.)”
