Testing conventions using pytest. An agent skill from meleantonio/ChernyCode.

  • Creating fixtures
  • SKILL.md covers Framework, File Organization, Fixtures and Parametrization, plus 3 more sections
  • Calls pytest
  • Running test suites

What it does

Testing is an agent skill from meleantonio/ChernyCode. Testing conventions using pytest. Use when writing tests, creating fixtures, or running test suites.

Its SKILL.md is about 410 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 and Test generation. It works with pytest.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating fixtures
  • Running test suites

Example prompts

  • “/testing”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d85373c. 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:

    • pytest

    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

Testing loads about 408 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 114 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~408

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 114 words (~408 tokens).
