About this skill

ScottPlot Test Runner is a skill in ScottPlot/ScottPlot (6.8k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 308 tokens. Licence: MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fb3f5aa. 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:

    • dotnet

    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

ScottPlot Test Runner loads about 308 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 62 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~308

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.

tests-run
description
Run or add ScottPlot 5 tests. Use for unit-test and cookbook-test work; unless explicitly asked otherwise, restrict manual test execution to the Unit Tests and Cookbook projects.

ScottPlot Unit Tests

Allowed manual test projects:

sh
dotnet test "src/ScottPlot5/ScottPlot5 Tests/Unit Tests/ScottPlot Unit Tests.csproj"
dotnet test "src/ScottPlot5/ScottPlot5 Cookbook/ScottPlot Cookbook.csproj"

For iteration, prefer a focused NUnit filter:

sh
dotnet test "src/ScottPlot5/ScottPlot5 Tests/Unit Tests/ScottPlot Unit Tests.csproj" --filter "FullyQualifiedName~CoordinateTests"
dotnet test "src/ScottPlot5/ScottPlot5 Cookbook/ScottPlot Cookbook.csproj" --filter "FullyQualifiedName~RecipeTests"

When adding tests, read nearby coverage first. Place tests near related code, match namespace/folder style, use NUnit [Test]/[TestCase], prefer Assert.That(...) and Assert.Multiple(...), and avoid new FluentAssertions usage. Name tests like Test_Component_Behavior. For render coverage, reuse existing helpers such as plt.Should().RenderInMemoryWithoutThrowing(), plt.Should().SavePngWithoutThrowing(), or plt.SaveTestImage(). Keep tests deterministic and focused.
