What it does

Metamorphic Testing is an agent skill from majiayu000/claude-skill-registry. Use this skill when you need to derive test candidates from input transformations and expected relations when a direct oracle is limited; triggers include 变形测试 and metamorphic test design.

Its SKILL.md is about 830 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).

The repository describes itself as: Searchable Claude Code skills catalog with source-linked guides and generated registry artifacts. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • You need to derive test candidates from input transformations and expected relations when a direct oracle is limited
  • Triggers include 变形测试 and metamorphic test design

Example prompts

  • “/metamorphic-testing”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read prompts/metamorphic-testing.md and provide the objective, scope, material, environment, and evidence.
  2. Start with separate known, missing, conflicting, stale, out_of_scope, and assumptions entries.
  3. Produce MT-## findings with source, evidence state, applicability, impact/priority, owner, close condition, and validation.
  4. Separate facts, evidence-backed inferences, recommendations, and Human decisions.
  5. Recommend follow-up validation without claiming execution.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d14a69. 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

Metamorphic Testing loads about 834 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 397 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~834

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.

Use this skill when you need to derive test candidates from input transformations and expected relations when a direct oracle is limited; triggers include 变形测试 and metamorphic test design.

Metamorphic Test Design

Derive test candidates from input transformations and expected relations when a direct oracle is limited. Produce MT-## design candidates within the evidence boundary; do not execute tests or claim coverage or pass results.

When to Use

  • Analyze baseline inputs, transformation rules, expected relations, output invariants, randomness, and existing evidence.
  • Preserve selection rationale, evidence gaps, priority, and validation actions.
  • Inputs are incomplete but a bounded first pass can mark items unassessed or blocked.

Output Format Options

  • Use Markdown by default; use tables, JSON, or CSV only when explicitly requested or required by the delivery format.
  • Separate static analysis, unexecuted work, evidence states, and Human decisions; keep items unassessed, blocked, or NOT_RUN when runtime evidence is absent.

How to Use

  1. Read prompts/metamorphic-testing.md and provide the objective, scope, material, environment, and evidence.
  2. Start with separate known, missing, conflicting, stale, out_of_scope, and assumptions entries.
  3. Produce MT-## findings with source, evidence state, applicability, impact/priority, owner, close condition, and validation.
  4. Separate facts, evidence-backed inferences, recommendations, and Human decisions.
  5. Recommend follow-up validation without claiming execution.

Core Constraints

  • Do not invent transformation relations, outputs, or randomness claims, or treat a relation table as execution evidence.
  • File presence, names, templates, and Eval configuration are not runtime evidence.
  • Do not edit requirements, code, test assets, or target systems, or accept risk for a Human.

Pre-delivery Check

  • The six-part input audit is complete.
  • Every MT-## has source, evidence state, applicability, concern, impact/priority, owner, close condition, and validation.
  • Facts, inferences, recommendations, and Human decisions are separate.
  • Unexecuted, unverified, unassessed, and pending-decision items are explicit.

Reference Files

  • Read evals/eval.yaml and matching cases for regression; configuration does not prove project results.
  • Use evals/trigger-prompts.csv and evals/local-rules.json for trigger checks; missing skill.selection evidence is BLOCKED.

Common Pitfalls

  • Do not treat a method name, file presence, or candidate count as execution, coverage, pass, or release evidence.
  • Do not fill missing relations, transformations, or results with convention; preserve unassessed, blocked, and pending items.
  • Do not expand this specialist design into a complete strategy, full test cases, runtime execution, or a release decision.

Best Practices

  • Complete the six-part input audit before selecting the smallest traceable and verifiable finding scope.
  • Keep the source, evidence state, impact/priority, owner role, close condition, validation method, and residual risk for every finding.
  • Write validation suggestions as next actions; do not upgrade package structure, candidate counts, or local Eval configuration into real quality conclusions.
