What it does
Automation Testing is an agent skill from naodeng/awesome-qa-skills. Use this skill when you need to design automation testing approaches using patterns like POM, data-driven testing, or BDD; triggers include automation testing and test automation strategy.
Its SKILL.md is about 650 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. 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 design automation testing approaches using patterns like POM
- Data-driven testing
- Triggers include automation testing and test automation strategy
Example prompts
- “/automation-testing”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read and follow the main prompt listed under Progressive disclosure (coverage, structure, quality bar).
- Add only project context that changes the result: scope, environment, constraints, risks, dependencies, expected deliverable.
- If input is incomplete, return a usable first draft and explicitly mark assumptions and gaps.
- 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
Automation Testing loads about 647 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 308 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 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 308 words (~647 tokens).
“Chinese version： See the corresponding Chinese skill.”

What does Automation Testing need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Automation Testing is instructions for the agent only.
Does Automation Testing access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Automation Testing safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Automation Testing use?
Automation Testing has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does Automation Testing use?
About 647 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 818 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
