At a glance

Write Pest feature tests with RefreshDatabase, mock external services, and create test data with Eloquent Factories in Laravel.

  • Adding HTTP tests
  • SKILL.md covers Priority: P1 (HIGH), Core Rule Anchors, Implementation Guidelines and Anti-Patterns, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Configuring SQLite in-memory test database

What it does

Laravel Testing is an agent skill from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. Write Pest feature tests with RefreshDatabase, mock external services, and create test data with Eloquent Factories in Laravel. Use when adding HTTP tests, configuring SQLite in-memory test database, or mocking payment services.

Its SKILL.md is about 990 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/implementation.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Backend development and Test data and fixtures. It works with Laravel and SQLite. 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

  • Adding HTTP tests
  • Configuring SQLite in-memory test database
  • Mocking payment services

Example prompts

  • “/laravel-testing”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b529c2d. 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

Laravel Testing loads about 989 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 390 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~989
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.

Laravel Testing

Priority: P1 (HIGH)

Core Rule Anchors

  • [BE-TEST-01] Parameterized Tests for Equivalent Cases: Prefer dataset in Pest or PHPUnit data providers for equivalent inputs and boundary permutations. Distinct scenarios may stay separate test methods. Reviewers must not demand parameterized rewrites without a behavioral gap.
  • [BE-TEST-02] Ban on Brittle DB Mock String Matching: Do not use string-matching mocks for raw SQL queries. Test pure domain calculations directly, or use SQLite in-memory / real DB for repository verification.
  • [BE-TEST-03] Ban on Shallow Assertions: Never assert only assertStatus(200) without inspecting JSON response structures, payload fields, and invariants.
  • [BE-TEST-04] Ban on Pass-Through Interface Mocks: Repositories and service handlers must test contract compliance and error mapping. Ban 1:1 pass-through mock echoing without contract assertions.
  • [BE-TEST-05] Bug-First Regression Lock: Every PR fixing a bug ticket or with title fix(...) must introduce a test reproducing the defect prior to the fix.

Implementation Guidelines

  • Pest Feature Tests: Use uses(RefreshDatabase::class) at top of Pest files. Example: it('creates post', fn() => $this->postJson('/api/posts', [...]) verifies database rolled back after each test.
  • Transactions: For faster but non-truncating isolation, use DatabaseTransactions.
  • Service Mocking ([BE-TEST-04]): Use $this->mock(PaymentService::class) with shouldReceive('charge')->once()->with(100) to assert interaction. Use $this->spy() for loose verification. Never make real network calls. Ban 1:1 pass-through mock echoing.
  • Factories & DB ([BE-TEST-02]): Create test data via Post::factory()->count(3)->create(['user_id' => $id]). In phpunit.xml, set DB_CONNECTION' value='sqlite' and DB_DATABASE' value=':memory:' for in-memory tests.
  • HTTP Assertions ([BE-TEST-03]): Chain assertStatus(201), assertJson(['data' => ...]), and assertJsonStructure. Avoid shallow assertions.
  • Coverage: Coverage is diagnostic and project-configured; verify risk-weighted critical paths rather than padding code for an arbitrary percentage.

Anti-Patterns

  • [BE-TEST-01] Stylistic parameterized rewrites: Do not demand dataset rewrites without a behavioral gap.
  • [BE-TEST-02] Brittle DB mock string matching: Do not match raw SQL strings in mocks; use SQLite in-memory or real DB.
  • [BE-TEST-03] Shallow assertions: Never assert status without verifying payload structures.
  • [BE-TEST-04] Pass-through mock echoing: Ban 1:1 mock echoing without contract assertions.
  • [BE-TEST-05] Bug fix without reproduction test: Ban bug fixes without a reproduction test.
  • No real network calls: Always mock or stub external services.
  • No state leakage between tests: Use RefreshDatabase trait.
  • No DB::table()->insert(): Never DB::table()->insert() raw data in tests — use Eloquent Factories instead.

References

Canonical response anchors

When this skill applies, preserve the following domain terminology or equivalent concrete examples in the answer when relevant:

  • DB_CONNECTION' value='sqlite

  • DB_DATABASE' value=':memory

  • DatabaseTransactions

  • assertJson(['data'

  • database rolled back

  • never DB::table()->insert()

  • Additional task-grounded exact anchors: once()->with(100); assertStatus(201)
