What it does
Run Tests is an agent skill from Microck/ordinary-claude-skills. Validate code changes by intelligently selecting and running the appropriate test suites. Use this when editing code to verify changes work correctly, run tests, validate functionality, or check for regressions. Automatically discovers affected test suites, selects the minimal set of venvs needed for validation, and handles test execution with Docker services as needed.
Its SKILL.md is about 3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).
It sits in Testing & QA, covering Test generation. It works with Docker. The repository describes itself as: An unappealing collection of Claude Skills and resources.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Test generation
Example prompts
- “/run-tests”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Docker
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, TodoWrite
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Identify Changed Files
- Discover Available Test Suites
- Intelligently Select Venvs
- Execute Selected Venvs
- Handle Results
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1056d29. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
BashReadGrepGlobTodoWrite
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
dockergit
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use docker and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Run Tests loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,296 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.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, TodoWrite
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 1,296 words (~3,016 tokens).
“This skill helps you efficiently validate code changes by running the appropriate subset of the test suite. It uses scripts/run-tests to intelligently discover affected tests and run only what's necessary for validation.”

Questions about Run Tests
What does Run Tests do?
Validate code changes by intelligently selecting and running the appropriate test suites. Run Tests is an agent skill from Microck/ordinary-claude-skills. Validate code changes by intelligently selecting and running the appropriate test suites.
When should I use Run Tests?
Run Tests fits situations like: tasks that involve Test generation.
How do I install Run Tests in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add Microck/ordinary-claude-skills --skill run-tests -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills_all/run-tests in Microck/ordinary-claude-skills) into .claude/skills/run-tests in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Run Tests in Codex?
Run `npx skills add Microck/ordinary-claude-skills --skill run-tests -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills_all/run-tests in Microck/ordinary-claude-skills) into .agents/skills/run-tests in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Run Tests in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Microck/ordinary-claude-skills --skill run-tests -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others).
