At a glance

Inspect, select, author, modify, or review NiceEval E2E and Unit test owners.

  • A change needs a test strategy
  • Calls pnpm
  • An existing test must be traced to its Feature
  • A bug requires public-entry E2E TDD

What it does

Testing is an agent skill from NiceEval/NiceEval. Inspect, select, author, modify, or review NiceEval E2E and Unit test owners. Use when a change needs a test strategy, an existing test must be traced to its Feature or Use Case, or a bug requires public-entry E2E TDD.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/case-ownership.md` and `references/local-e2e-execution.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering End-to-end testing, Unit testing and Test strategy. It works with pnpm. The repository describes itself as: build eval for your agent in 10 mins.

When your agent uses it

  • A change needs a test strategy
  • An existing test must be traced to its Feature
  • A bug requires public-entry E2E TDD

Example prompts

  • “/testing”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 011a00a. 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

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, 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

Testing loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,067 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.4k

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 1,067 words (~2,088 tokens).

“Use pnpm exec concord --skill repository for the packaged command guide; load other topics only as needed. Generic --skill test describes command evidence, which cannot satisfy NiceEval formal gates. Read the affected product Feature first, then the testing contract. Run…”

What does Testing need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Testing needs the command-line tools its instructions call (pnpm).

Does 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.
