dotnet-test-doublesTest doubles including Fakes (Bogus), Dummies (AutoFixture), Stubs, Spies, and Mocks (NSubstitute).
Dotnet Test Doubles is an agent skill from macalbert/envilder. Test doubles including Fakes (Bogus), Dummies (AutoFixture), Stubs, Spies, and Mocks (NSubstitute). Use when creating test data, mocking dependencies, or setting up HTTP mocks with WireMock.Net.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `reference.md`).
It sits in Testing & QA, covering Unit testing and Test data and fixtures. It works with .NET. The repository describes itself as: One secret mapping for local dev, CI/CD, and runtime. Envilder resolves cloud secrets from your own vaults without SaaS middlemen, duplicated config, or .env drift. The licence is MIT.
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b6a0327. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are csharp).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Dotnet Test Doubles loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 246 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

.claude/skills/dotnet-test-doubles/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 1 other file; get the full folder from GitHub.This skill defines how to use test doubles (Fakes, Dummies, Stubs, Spies, and Mocks).
NEVER write unnecessary comments or XML summaries. Code should be self-explanatory.
| Rule | Example |
|---|---|
Use class not record | public class GroupMother { ... } |
Always use {} brackets | if (x) { return; } never if (x) return; |
| Aligned wrapped parameters | Align parameters with opening parenthesis |
Use Bogus to create realistic fake data for testing.
Purpose: Generate realistic test data that mimics production data.
Example:
using Bogus;
public sealed class GroupMother
{
private readonly Faker _faker;
public GroupMother(int seed = 666)
{
_faker = new Faker { Random = new Randomizer(seed) };
}
public Group Create()
{
return Group.Create(
id: _faker.Random.Guid(),
name: _faker.Commerce.ProductName(),
type: _faker.PickRandom<GroupType>()
);
}
}Use AutoFixture for dummy objects that fill method parameters.
Purpose: Automatically generate objects without manual setup.
Example:
public class CreateGroupCommandHandlerTests
{
private readonly Fixture _fixture;
public CreateGroupCommandHandlerTests()
{
_fixture = new Fixture();
}
[Fact(Timeout = CancellationTokenForTest.ShortTimeout)]
public async Task Should_CreateGroup_When_RequestIsValid()
{
// Arrange
var secretName = _fixture.Create<string>();
var secretValue = _fixture.Create<string>();
// ...
}
}Use AutoFixture or NSubstitute for stubs that return predefined data.
Example with NSubstitute:
// Arrange
_repository
.GetGroupByIdAsync(Arg.Any<Guid>(), Arg.Any<CancellationToken>())
.Returns(GroupMother.Create(id: expectedId));Use NSubstitute to spy on method calls and verify interactions.
Example:
// Arrange
var logger = Substitute.For<ILogger<CreateGroupCommandHandler>>();
// Act
await _sut.Handle(command, CancellationToken.None);
// Assert - Verify logger was called
logger.Received(1).Log(
LogLevel.Information,
Arg.Any<EventId>(),
Arg.Is<object>(o => o.ToString()!.Contains("Creating group")),
Arg.Any<Exception>(),
Arg.Any<Func<object, Exception?, string>>());Use NSubstitute for mocks that verify expected behavior.
Example:
// Arrange
_repository
.GetGroupByIdAsync(groupId, Arg.Any<CancellationToken>())
.Returns(group);
// Act
var actual = await _sut.Handle(query, CancellationToken.None);
// Assert
await _repository.Received(1).GetGroupByIdAsync(groupId, Arg.Any<CancellationToken>());Use WireMock.Net for mocking HTTP services.
Example:
// Setup WireMock
_wireMock
.Given(Request.Create()
.WithPath("/secrets/my-secret")
.UsingGet())
.RespondWith(Response.Create()
.WithStatusCode(200)
.WithBodyAsJson(new { value = "secret-value" }));
// Test HTTP client
var response = await _httpClient.GetAsync("/secrets/my-secret");// Create mock
var repository = Substitute.For<IEnvilderRepository>();
// Setup return value
repository
.GetGroupByIdAsync(groupId, Arg.Any<CancellationToken>())
.Returns(group);
// Verify call
await repository.Received(1).GetGroupByIdAsync(groupId, Arg.Any<CancellationToken>());
// Verify NOT called
await repository.DidNotReceive().DeleteGroup(Arg.Any<Group>());// Any argument
repository.GetGroupByIdAsync(Arg.Any<Guid>(), Arg.Any<CancellationToken>());
// Specific value
repository.GetGroupByIdAsync(specificId, Arg.Any<CancellationToken>());
// Conditional matching
repository.GetGroupByIdAsync(
Arg.Is<Guid>(id => id != Guid.Empty),
Arg.Any<CancellationToken>());For more details on AutoFixture and Bogus patterns, see reference.md.
public sealed class GroupMother
{
private readonly Faker _faker;
public GroupMother(int seed = 666)
{
_faker = new Faker { Random = new Randomizer(seed) };
}

Guid? id = null,

GroupType? type = null)
