At a glance

A skill your agent uses when Laravel/Pest test suites are slow, CI duration is growing, individual tests take seconds, or the user asks to speed up, optimize, or profile tests.

  • Laravel/Pest test suites are slow
  • SKILL.md covers When to use, Environment and config, Fake external interactions and Database, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • CI duration is growing

What it does

Speeding Up Laravel Tests is an agent skill from freekmurze/dotfiles. Use when Laravel/Pest test suites are slow, CI duration is growing, individual tests take seconds, or the user asks to speed up, optimize, or profile tests. Covers factories, fakes, config caching, XDebug/pcov, BCRYPTROUNDS, LazilyRefreshDatabase, and stray HTTP requests.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Backend development and Test generation. It works with Laravel.

When your agent uses it

  • Laravel/Pest test suites are slow
  • CI duration is growing
  • Individual tests take seconds
  • The user asks to speed up

Example prompts

  • “/speeding-up-laravel-tests”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8874280. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • marmelab.com

    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

Speeding Up Laravel Tests loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 542 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:19
    - **Set `BCRYPT_ROUNDS=4`** in `.env.testing` (or `phpunit.xml`). Default is 12 and hashing dominates auth tests.
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:71
    `BCRYPT_ROUNDS` at the default because `.env.testing` was never created.

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 542 words (~1,135 tokens).

“A curated list of techniques for making Laravel test suites faster. Apply these in roughly the order shown; environment fixes usually give the biggest wins for the least effort.”
