What it does
Testing is an agent skill from dralgorhythm/claude-agentic-framework. Write effective tests for code quality and reliability. Use when implementing features, fixing bugs, improving coverage, or practicing TDD/test-driven development. Covers unit, integration, and E2E testing.
Its SKILL.md is about 830 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `evals/README.md` and `evals/evals.json`).
It sits in Testing & QA, covering Test-driven development, End-to-end testing and Code quality. The repository describes itself as: A More Effective Agent Harness for Claude.
When your agent uses it
- Implementing features
- Improving coverage
- Practicing TDD/test-driven development
Example prompts
- “/testing”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Red: Write a failing test for one behavior before writing the implementation.
- Green: Write the minimum code needed to make that test pass.
- Refactor: Clean up structure only while the suite is green — no new behavior in this step.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6436a20. 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
Testing loads about 828 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 451 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 451 words (~828 tokens).
“Give every change a check it can run before calling it done: red-then-green for new logic, a failing-then-passing regression test for bug fixes, or the existing suite for anything else. No change ships without one.”

When should I use Testing?
Testing fits situations like: implementing features; improving coverage; practicing TDD/test-driven development.
How do I install Testing in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add dralgorhythm/claude-agentic-framework --skill testing -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/core-engineering/testing in dralgorhythm/claude-agentic-framework) into .claude/skills/testing in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Testing in Codex?

Can I use Testing in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add dralgorhythm/claude-agentic-framework --skill testing -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/testing, .gemini/skills/testing, .github/skills/testing and .opencode/skills/testing in your project.
What does Testing need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Testing is instructions for the agent only.
Does Testing access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Testing safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Testing use?
No licence was found for Testing or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.
How many tokens does Testing use?
About 828 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
