At a glance

Decide whether a change warrants new tests and choose proportionate verification.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Strategic Testing is an agent skill from FranciscoMoretti/chat-js. Decide whether a change warrants new tests and choose proportionate verification. Use before adding tests, when planning validation, or when reviewing whether a proposed test protects meaningful behavior.

Its SKILL.md is about 220 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with OpenAI and Google Gemini. The repository describes itself as: Production-ready AI chat. Start here and make it your own. Formerly Sparka AI. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

  • “/strategic-testing”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7da0efb. 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

Strategic Testing loads about 223 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 90 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~223

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.

description
Decide whether a change warrants new tests and choose proportionate verification. Use before adding tests, when planning validation, or when reviewing whether a proposed test protects meaningful behavior.

Strategic testing

Add tests only when they protect meaningful behavior or a stable contract that existing checks could realistically miss.

  • Prioritize domain invariants, important edge cases, public interfaces, persisted data, security boundaries, and integration seams.
  • Skip tests for mechanical edits, implementation details, existing coverage, or changes already verified by types, linting, or schema validation.
  • Choose the smallest test level that protects the behavior.

Before adding a test, identify the realistic failure it prevents and confirm that the maintenance cost is justified. If that case is weak, do not add one.
