What it does

Testing is an agent skill from OdradekAI/bundles-forge. Use when testing a bundle-plugin locally before release — generating dev-marketplace environments, verifying component discovery, running hook smoke tests, and validating cross-platform readiness

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/platform-test-guides.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering QA and bug reports. The repository describes itself as: An agentic skills framework & bundle-plugin engineering toolkit that works. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Testing a bundle-plugin locally before release — generating dev-marketplace environments
  • Verifying component discovery
  • Running hook smoke tests
  • Validating cross-platform readiness

Example prompts

  • “/testing”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Resolve Input & Detect Scope
  2. Local Test Environment
  3. Hook Smoke Tests
  4. Component Discovery
  5. Cross-Platform Readiness
  6. Test Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c1b0e10. 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:

    • bash

    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 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 687 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
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.8k

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.

Testing Bundle-Plugins

Overview

Dynamic verification of a bundle-plugin project: install it locally, confirm components are discoverable, validate hooks fire correctly, and run cross-platform smoke tests. Complements bundles-forge:auditing (static analysis) with runtime validation.

Core principle: Audit tells you if the structure is correct; testing tells you if it actually works.

Skill type: Flexible — adapt the test scope based on target platforms and project maturity.

Announce at start: "I'm using the testing skill to verify this plugin works correctly."

Step 1: Resolve Input & Detect Scope

Input Normalization

The target must be a local bundle-plugin project (has package.json + skills/). Remote URLs and archives are not supported — testing requires a local working directory.

Scope Detection
TargetMode
Project root with multiple platformsFull testing — all 5 test phases
Project root with single platformPlatform testing — phases 1-4 for the target platform
Single skill directorySkill-only testing — phase 3 (component discovery) only

Phase 1: Local Test Environment

Generate a temporary dev-marketplace for local installation testing.

For Claude Code
  1. Create ../dev-marketplace/ adjacent to the project directory
  2. Generate .claude-plugin/marketplace.json pointing to the project:
json
{
  "name": "<project-name>-dev",
  "owner": { "name": "dev" },
  "plugins": [
    {
      "name": "<project-name>",
      "source": "../<project-directory-name>"
    }
  ]
}
  1. Instruct the user:
Dev marketplace created at ../dev-marketplace/

To install locally:
  /plugin marketplace add ./dev-marketplace
  /plugin install <project-name>@<project-name>-dev

To reload after changes:
  /plugin marketplace update <project-name>-dev

To clean up when done:
  /plugin marketplace remove <project-name>-dev
For Cursor

Cursor plugins are installed from local paths directly:

To test locally in Cursor:
  1. Open Cursor Settings → Extensions → Install from Path
  2. Select the project root directory
  3. Reload Cursor to pick up changes
For Other Platforms
  • Codex: Symlink skills/ into ~/.agents/skills/ per INSTALL.md
  • OpenCode: Register the plugin path in .opencode/plugins/
  • Gemini CLI: Point the extension config to the local directory

See references/platform-test-guides.md for platform-specific setup instructions.


Phase 2: Hook Smoke Tests

Verify hooks execute without errors by running them directly.

SessionStart Hook
bash
bash hooks/session-start

Expected: Exits 0, prints a one-line prompt containing the project name and available skills. No stderr output.

Verify output format:

  • If CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is set: valid JSON with hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext
  • If CURSOR_PLUGIN_ROOT is set: valid JSON with additional_context
  • Neither: plain text
Custom Hooks (if configured)

If the project defines PreToolUse or PostToolUse hooks in hooks.json, run each referenced script directly and verify:

  • PreToolUse scripts: exit 0 on a valid project, exit 2 to block writes on critical issues
  • PostToolUse scripts: always exit 0, warnings go to stderr
OpenClaw Hook-Pack (if present)

Verify hooks/openclaw-bootstrap/HOOK.md has valid YAML frontmatter with events declaration, and handler.js uses ESM export default.


Phase 3: Component Discovery

Verify that all declared components can be found by the host platform.

Skills

For each directory under skills/:

  • Contains SKILL.md
  • Frontmatter has name and description
  • name matches directory name
  • description starts with "Use when..."
Agents

For each .md file under agents/:

  • Has YAML frontmatter
  • Body has 5+ non-empty lines (self-contained protocol)
Platform Manifests

For each target platform:

  • Manifest file exists and is valid JSON
  • Paths in manifest resolve to existing files/directories
  • Version matches package.json version

Show full SKILL.md (263 more words)Show less

Phase 4: Cross-Platform Readiness

Generate a platform-specific test checklist based on references/platform-test-guides.md and known limitations from bundles-forge:scaffolding — references/platform-adapters.md.

Known Limitations to Verify
PlatformLimitationTest
Claude CodePlugin caching breaks ../ pathsVerify no ../ in hook commands or manifest paths
CursorBootstrap lost after /clearVerify session-start runs independently of prior context
CodexNo hook bootstrapVerify AGENTS.md or INSTALL.md has manual setup instructions
OpenCodePlugin JS must use ESMVerify export default in .opencode/plugins/*.js
Gemini CLIExtension needs contextFileNameVerify gemini-extension.json has contextFileName field
OpenClawHook-pack wiring uncertainDocument as known risk in test report

Phase 5: Test Report

Generate a test report summarizing all findings.

Report Structure
markdown
# Test Report: <project-name>

**Date:** YYYY-MM-DD
**Scope:** [Full / Platform / Skill-only]
**Platforms tested:** [list]

Integration with Releasing

In the releasing pipeline, testing runs after auditing and before version bump:

audit → test → version bump → publish

If testing reveals critical issues, the release pipeline is blocked until they are resolved.


Common Mistakes

MistakeFix
Skipping local install testAlways test with a real dev-marketplace — file discovery differs from file existence
Testing only on one platformRun cross-platform checklist for every target platform
Ignoring hook exit codesHooks must exit 0 to avoid blocking the host; test all code paths
Not cleaning up dev-marketplaceAlways remove dev-marketplace after testing
Testing after version bumpTest before bumping — avoid releasing a broken version

Inputs

  • project-directory (required) — bundle-plugin project root

Outputs

  • test-report — comprehensive test results written to .bundles-forge/audits/
  • dev-marketplace (temporary) — local marketplace directory for installation testing

Integration

Called by:

  • bundles-forge:releasing — pre-release dynamic verification (after audit, before version bump)
  • User directly — standalone local testing during development

Calls:

  • (none — testing is a pure executor, does not dispatch other skills)

When should I use Testing?

Testing fits situations like: testing a bundle-plugin locally before release — generating dev-marketplace environments; verifying component discovery; running hook smoke tests; validating cross-platform readiness.

How do I install Testing in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add OdradekAI/bundles-forge --skill testing -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/testing in OdradekAI/bundles-forge) into .claude/skills/testing in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Testing in Codex?

Run `npx skills add OdradekAI/bundles-forge --skill testing -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/testing in OdradekAI/bundles-forge) into .agents/skills/testing in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Testing 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 OdradekAI/bundles-forge --skill testing -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/testing, .gemini/skills/testing, .github/skills/testing and .opencode/skills/testing in your project.

What does Testing need to run?

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

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.

Is 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. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Testing use?

Testing is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Testing use?

About 1.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.3k 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 1k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Testing?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Testing: Reproduce Chat States (different-ai/openwork, 24k stars), Dynamo Jira Ticket (DynamoDS/Dynamo, 2k stars), Minimal Run And Audit (lllllllama/RigorPilot-Skills, 497 stars) and Moav E2E (MotherofallVPNs/MoaV, 448 stars).
