What it does
Review Tests is an agent skill from hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Review Terraform AWS Provider acceptance and unit test basics: required basic and disappears tests, TestAcc naming, TestCase essentials (PreCheck/ErrorCheck/ProtoV5ProviderFactories/CheckDestroy), random naming, ImportState steps, and regexache. Use when reviewing a PR that changes internal/service//test.go.
Its SKILL.md is about 910 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 Testing & QA, covering Unit testing, Infrastructure as code and Integration testing. It works with Terraform and Amazon Web Services. The repository describes itself as: The AWS Provider enables Terraform to manage AWS resources. The licence is MPL-2.0.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 972faab. 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 (its code samples are go).
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
Review Tests loads about 908 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 297 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Always· name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs· the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~908
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.

Review: Acceptance & Unit Tests
Assume the @maintainer persona. Scope: per-resource acceptance test basics. Ephemeral resources, provider functions, and actions are out of scope. See review-tests-helpers for Exists/Destroy and data source/list/unit tests. Loaded from review-pr.
Required tests for new resources
TestAcc<Service><Resource>_basic — full happy path, including an ImportState step, checking all attributes.
TestAcc<Service><Resource>_disappears — verifies the provider re-creates a resource that's gone out-of-band.
Tag and identity tests are generated for resources with @Tags and identity annotations. Flag PRs that add hand-written _tags* or _Identity_* tests for new resources.
Flag missing or replaced versions of any of those.
For tests expected to run more than ~5 minutes, add the long-running guard right after acctest.Context(t):
go
if testing.Short() {
t.Skip("skipping long-running test in short mode")
}
Random naming
Use sdkacctest.RandomWithPrefix(acctest.ResourcePrefix). Flag hard-coded names or bare acctest.RandString(...).
PreCheck pattern
testAccPreCheck issues a single cheap List/Describe call and skips on partition/permission errors via acctest.PreCheckSkipError(err). Flag PreChecks that make multiple API calls, return errors instead of calling t.Skipf/t.Fatalf, or skip PreCheckSkipError.
ImportStateVerifyIgnore is for write-only fields the AWS API doesn't return (e.g., passwords, apply_immediately). Flag broad ignore lists used to paper over genuine drift.
Use github.com/YakDriver/regexache, not stdlib regexp. Flag any new test that imports regexp.
For ARN attributes use acctest.MatchResourceAttrRegionalARN / CheckResourceAttrRegionalARN (or global / alt-region variants). Flag manual ARN assembly via fmt.Sprintf with account ID or region.

When should I use Review Tests?
Review Tests fits situations like: reviewing a PR that changes internal/service//test.go; tasks that involve Unit testing; tasks that involve Infrastructure as code.
How do I install Review Tests in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws --skill review-tests -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/review-tests in hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws) into .claude/skills/review-tests in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Review Tests in Codex?
Run `npx skills add hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws --skill review-tests -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/review-tests in hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws) into .agents/skills/review-tests in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Review Tests 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 hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws --skill review-tests -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/review-tests, .gemini/skills/review-tests, .github/skills/review-tests and .opencode/skills/review-tests in your project.
What does Review Tests need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Review Tests is instructions for the agent only.
Does Review Tests 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 Review Tests 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 Review Tests use?
Review Tests is published under the MPL-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Review Tests use?
About 908 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Review Tests?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Review Tests: Avm Tf Testing (Azure/terraform-azurerm-avm-ptn-alz, 135 stars), New Event Source (aws/aws-lambda-dotnet, 1.7k stars), Datadog Terraform Provider Test Runner (DataDog/terraform-provider-datadog, 468 stars) and Fix Broken Datadog Provider Tests (DataDog/terraform-provider-datadog, 468 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
