What it does

Playground Msw Tests is an agent skill from mastra-ai/mastra. REQUIRED and PRIMARY testing approach for packages/playground and packages/playground-ui. Triggers on: adding or modifying hooks, pages, route components, data-fetching code, React Query interactions, or any test work in these packages. Generates Vitest tests that drive the real @mastra/client-js + React Query stack through MSW handlers and typed fixtures derived from @mastra/client-js response types. This is the 1 way to test the playground packages — ABOVE Playwright E2E. Use Playwright only for cross-page user…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k 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, Customer journey mapping and End-to-end testing. It works with Mastra, TanStack, Playwright and Vitest. The repository describes itself as: Mastra is the modern TypeScript framework for AI-powered applications and agents.

When your agent uses it

  • Modifying hooks
  • Route components
  • Data-fetching code
  • React Query interactions

Example prompts

  • “/playground-msw-tests”

Workflow steps

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

  1. MSW + typed client-js fixtures (THIS SKILL) — for hooks, pages, routes,
  2. Playwright E2E (e2e-tests-studio skill) — only for genuine cross-page
  3. Pure unit tests — only for self-contained utilities/services with no

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b98829a. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • mswjs.io

    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

Playground Msw Tests loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 143 tokens; SKILL.md has 868 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~143
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 868 words (~2,563 tokens).

“Drive the real transport, mock the network.”
