Write Angular component tests using TestBed, ComponentHarness, and HttpTestingController with proper signal input handling.

  • Writing component tests
  • SKILL.md covers Priority: P1 (HIGH), Core Philosophy, Core Rule Anchors and Implementation Guidelines, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Mocking HTTP calls

What it does

Angular Testing is an agent skill from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. Write Angular component tests using TestBed, ComponentHarness, and HttpTestingController with proper signal input handling. Use when writing component tests, mocking HTTP calls, or testing signal inputs.

Its SKILL.md is about 920 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json` and `references/harness-pattern.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Unit testing. It works with Angular. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Agent Skills Standard and Best Practice for Programming Languages, Frameworks that help our AI Agent follow best practies on frameworks and programming laguages. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing component tests
  • Mocking HTTP calls
  • Testing signal inputs

Example prompts

  • “/angular-testing”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 266fd75. 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

Angular Testing loads about 922 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 354 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~922
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.3k

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.

Testing

Priority: P1 (HIGH)

Core Philosophy

  • Coverage is diagnostic and project-configured; verify risk-weighted critical paths rather than padding code for an arbitrary percentage.

Core Rule Anchors

  • [WEB-TEST-01] Tripartite Naming & AAA Cadence: Test names must follow Method_Scenario_ExpectedBehavior and adhere strictly to Arrange-Act-Assert.
  • [WEB-TEST-02] Accessible Harnesses & User Actions: Query UI components via ComponentHarness (e.g. MatButtonHarness) or accessible queries; strictly ban raw CSS class selectors or arbitrary DOM traversal.
  • [WEB-TEST-03] Ban on Component Private State & Property Inspection: Never inspect component private state or internal properties directly. Assert on visible DOM state, output events, or harness query outcomes.
  • [WEB-TEST-04] HTTP Boundary Mocking: Intercept HTTP requests at the boundary using provideHttpClientTesting() + HttpTestingController rather than mocking internal services or methods. Tests must verify true component data flow.
  • [WEB-TEST-05] Bug-First Regression Lock: Every PR resolving a bug ticket or with title fix(...) must introduce a test reproducing the defect prior to the fix.

Implementation Guidelines

  • Query via Component Harnesses ([WEB-TEST-02]): Use ComponentHarness (e.g. MatButtonHarness) not CSS selectors. loader.getHarness(MatButtonHarness) + await button.click(). Never query by CSS class. See harness pattern.
  • Mock HTTP ([WEB-TEST-04]): Intercept with provideHttpClientTesting() + HttpTestingController rather than manual mocks. Call expectOne, .flush(mockData), and verify() in afterEach.
  • Signal Inputs ([WEB-TEST-03]): Use fixture.componentRef.setInput('name', value) + fixture.detectChanges(), not direct assignment. Signals sync — no fakeAsync needed for most signal-driven tests.
  • Test Runner: Angular v20+ defaults to Vitest via @angular/build:unit-test (faster, native ESM, no Karma). Configure in angular.json. Jasmine/Karma still supported. Standalone: import directly in TestBed.configureTestingModule({ imports: [StandaloneComponent] }).

Anti-Patterns

  • [WEB-TEST-01] Vague test names: Banish non-descriptive names or mixed AAA phases; follow Method_Scenario_ExpectedBehavior.
  • [WEB-TEST-02] Raw CSS selectors / DOM traversal: Query via ComponentHarness or accessible roles, not CSS class strings.
  • [WEB-TEST-03] Testing private state: Never inspect internal properties or use direct @Input() assignment; use setInput().
  • [WEB-TEST-04] Manual HttpClient mocks: Always mock the network boundary with provideHttpClientTesting() + HttpTestingController.
  • [WEB-TEST-05] Bug fix without reproduction test: Ban bug fix PRs lacking defect regression tests.
  • Coverage padding: Never write low-value tests solely to meet an arbitrary percentage.

Can I use Angular 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 HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard --skill angular-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/angular-testing, .gemini/skills/angular-testing, .github/skills/angular-testing and .opencode/skills/angular-testing in your project.

What does Angular Testing need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Angular Testing is instructions for the agent only.

Does Angular 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 Angular 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 Angular Testing use?

Angular Testing is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Angular Testing use?

About 922 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 363 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
