Manages testing lifecycle including unit tests, integration tests, validation, and quality assurance.

  • Works in 4 steps: Basic functionality → Edge cases → Performance → …
  • Tasks that involve QA and bug reports
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Testing Pyramid, Test Suite Overview and Manual Testing via Claude, plus 5 more sections
  • Calls python, pip and gcloud

What it does

Testing Assistant is an agent skill from RobThePCGuy/Claude-Patent-Creator. Manages testing lifecycle including unit tests, integration tests, validation, and quality assurance.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering QA and bug reports, Unit testing and Integration testing. The repository describes itself as: USPTO patent creation system with MCP server + Claude Code plugin. Hybrid RAG search over MPEP/USC/CFR, BigQuery access to 76M+ patents, automated 35 USC 112 compliance checks… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve QA and bug reports
  • Tasks that involve Unit testing
  • Tasks that involve Integration testing

Example prompts

  • “Use the testing-assistant skill to manage testing lifecycle including unit tests, integration tests, validation, and quality assurance”
  • “/testing-assistant”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Basic functionality
  2. Edge cases
  3. Performance
  4. Error handling

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a089731. 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:

    • python
    • pip
    • gcloud

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip and gcloud, 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 Assistant loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 259 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 Assistant Skill

Expert system for testing and validating the Claude Patent Creator.

FOR CLAUDE: Test scripts in scripts/ directory.

  • Go directly to running appropriate test
  • Run from project root
  • Tests require active venv
  • Only run diagnostics if tests fail

When to Use

Running test suites, validating new features, testing after changes, debugging failures, creating tests, setting up CI/CD, performance testing, E2E validation, regression testing.

Testing Pyramid

         /\
        /  \       E2E (Manual + Automated)
       /----\
      / API  \     Integration Tests
     /--------\
    /  Unit   \    Unit Tests
   /----------\

Strategy: More unit tests (fast, isolated), fewer integration (moderate), minimal E2E (slow).

Test Suite Overview

bash
scripts/
+-- test_install.py          # Complete installation validation
+-- test_gpu.py              # GPU detection and CUDA
+-- test_bigquery.py         # BigQuery connection
+-- test_analyzers.py        # Claims, spec, formalities
+-- test_embedding_speed.py  # Performance benchmarks
+-- test_checkpoint.py       # Index checkpoint system

Quick Test:

bash
python scripts/test_install.py

Manual Testing via Claude

Test MCP tools through Claude Code interface.

Quick Test Examples
1. MPEP Search: "Search MPEP for claim definiteness requirements"
2. Patent Search: "Search for patents about neural networks filed in 2024"
3. Claims Review: "Review these claims: [paste test claims]"
4. Full Review: "/full-review" (with test application)
5. Diagrams: "Create a flowchart for this process: [describe]"
Validation Checklist
bash
[OK] MPEP search returns relevant results
[OK] BigQuery search finds patents
[OK] Claims analyzer identifies issues
[OK] Specification analyzer checks support
[OK] Formalities checker validates format
[OK] Diagrams generate successfully
[OK] Full review workflow completes
[OK] All MCP tools accessible
[OK] Error messages clear and helpful
[OK] Performance acceptable (<2s most ops)

Creating New Tests

Quick Start
python
# Unit test template
def test_basic_functionality():
    from mcp_server.your_module import YourClass
    instance = YourClass()
    result = instance.method("test input")
    assert result is not None
    print("[OK] test_basic_functionality passed")

Test Categories:

  1. Basic functionality
  2. Edge cases
  3. Performance
  4. Error handling

Performance Testing

Quick Benchmark
python
from mcp_server.mpep_search import MPEPIndex
import time

index = MPEPIndex()
index.build_index()
index.search("test", top_k=5)  # Warm up

start = time.time()
result = index.search("claim definiteness", top_k=5)
duration = time.time() - start
print(f"Search took: {duration:.3f}s")
Performance Thresholds
OperationThresholdNotes
MPEP search (first)<3sModel loading
MPEP search (subsequent)<500msCached models
BigQuery search<2sNetwork dependent
Claims analysis<3s20 claims
Spec analysis<10s10 pages
Diagram generation<1sSVG output

Troubleshooting Test Failures

ProblemSolution
Import errorsActivate venv, pip install -r requirements.txt
GPU tests failCheck nvidia-smi, reinstall PyTorch, or skip
BigQuery failsRe-auth: gcloud auth application-default login
Index not foundRebuild: patent-creator rebuild-index
Too slowCheck GPU usage, first run slower, check system load

Best Practices

  1. Test after every change
  2. Automated testing
  3. Test pyramid (more unit, fewer E2E)
  4. Fast tests (<5 min suite)
  5. Isolated tests (no dependencies)
  6. Clear assertions
  7. Document tests
  8. Version control tests
  9. Regular execution (weekly)
  10. Monitor performance

Quick Reference

Run All Tests
bash
python scripts/test_install.py
