What it does

API Test Supertest is an agent skill from naodeng/awesome-qa-skills. Use this skill when you need to parse multi-format API definitions and generate executable Supertest scripts; triggers include Supertest, Node.js API testing, and Supertest automation.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 43 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `evals/cases/basic-success.yaml`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering API testing. It works with Node.js. The repository describes itself as: Awesome QA Skills is an open-source AI-native Quality Engineering skill system that helps engineering teams reason about, design, execute, evaluate, and continuously improve…

When your agent uses it

  • You need to parse multi-format API definitions and generate executable Supertest scripts
  • Triggers include Supertest
  • Node.js API testing
  • Supertest automation

Example prompts

  • “/api-test-supertest”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read and follow the main prompt listed under Progressive disclosure (coverage, structure, quality bar).
  2. Add only project context that changes the result: scope, environment, constraints, risks, dependencies, expected deliverable.
  3. If input is incomplete, return a usable first draft and explicitly mark assumptions and gaps.
  4. Default to Markdown; switch formats only when the user asks.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 52c4eaf. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    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

API Test Supertest loads about 659 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 310 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~659
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5k

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); the scripts in this folder 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 310 words (~659 tokens).

“Chinese version: See the corresponding Chinese skill.”
