What it does

Pest Testing is an agent skill from slimani-dev/muraqib. Tests applications using the Pest 4 PHP framework. Activates when writing tests, creating unit or feature tests, adding assertions, testing Livewire components, browser testing, debugging test failures, working with datasets or mocking; or when the user mentions test, spec, TDD, expects, assertion, coverage, or needs to verify functionality works.

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 Browser testing, Failing and flaky tests and Test-driven development. It works with PHP and Laravel. The repository describes itself as: A unified, developer-first homelab dashboard. Monitor and orchestrate your infrastructure, containers, and media from a single pane of glass. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Needs to verify functionality works
  • Tasks that involve Browser testing
  • Tasks that involve Failing and flaky tests

Example prompts

  • “Use the pest-testing skill to test applications using the Pest 4 PHP framework. An agent skill from slimani-dev/muraqib”
  • “/pest-testing”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a32df1d. 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:

    • php

    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

Pest Testing loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 435 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
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.

description
Tests applications using the Pest 4 PHP framework. Activates when writing tests, creating unit or feature tests, adding assertions, testing Livewire components, browser testing, debugging test failures, working with datasets or mocking; or when the user mentions test, spec, TDD, expects, assertion, coverage, or needs to verify functionality works.

Pest Testing 4

When to Apply

Activate this skill when:

  • Creating new tests (unit, feature, or browser)
  • Modifying existing tests
  • Debugging test failures
  • Working with browser testing or smoke testing
  • Writing architecture tests or visual regression tests

Documentation

Use search-docs for detailed Pest 4 patterns and documentation.

Basic Usage

Creating Tests

All tests must be written using Pest. Use php artisan make:test --pest {name}.

Test Organization
  • Unit/Feature tests: tests/Feature and tests/Unit directories.
  • Browser tests: tests/Browser/ directory.
  • Do NOT remove tests without approval - these are core application code.
Basic Test Structure
<code-snippet name="Basic Pest Test Example" lang="php">

it('is true', function () { expect(true)->toBeTrue(); });

</code-snippet>
Running Tests
  • Run minimal tests with filter before finalizing: php artisan test --compact --filter=testName.
  • Run all tests: php artisan test --compact.
  • Run file: php artisan test --compact tests/Feature/ExampleTest.php.

Assertions

Use specific assertions (assertSuccessful(), assertNotFound()) instead of assertStatus():

<code-snippet name="Pest Response Assertion" lang="php">

it('returns all', function () { $this->postJson('/api/docs', [])->assertSuccessful(); });

</code-snippet>
UseInstead of
assertSuccessful()assertStatus(200)
assertNotFound()assertStatus(404)
assertForbidden()assertStatus(403)

Mocking

Import mock function before use: use function Pest\Laravel\mock;

Datasets

Use datasets for repetitive tests (validation rules, etc.):

<code-snippet name="Pest Dataset Example" lang="php">

it('has emails', function (string $email) { expect($email)->not->toBeEmpty(); })->with([ 'james' => 'james@laravel.com', 'taylor' => 'taylor@laravel.com', ]);

</code-snippet>

Pest 4 Features

Browser TestingFull integration tests in real browsers
Smoke TestingValidate multiple pages quickly
Visual RegressionCompare screenshots for visual changes
Test ShardingParallel CI runs
Architecture TestingEnforce code conventions

Browser Test Example

Browser tests run in real browsers for full integration testing:

  • Browser tests live in tests/Browser/.
  • Use Laravel features like Event::fake(), assertAuthenticated(), and model factories.
  • Use RefreshDatabase for clean state per test.
  • Interact with page: click, type, scroll, select, submit, drag-and-drop, touch gestures.
  • Test on multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) if requested.
  • Test on different devices/viewports (iPhone 14 Pro, tablets) if requested.
  • Switch color schemes (light/dark mode) when appropriate.
  • Take screenshots or pause tests for debugging.
<code-snippet name="Pest Browser Test Example" lang="php">

it('may reset the password', function () { Notification::fake();

$this->actingAs(User::factory()->create());

$page = visit('/sign-in');

$page->assertSee('Sign In')
    ->assertNoJavaScriptErrors()
    ->click('Forgot Password?')
    ->fill('email', 'nuno@laravel.com')
    ->click('Send Reset Link')
    ->assertSee('We have emailed your password reset link!');

Notification::assertSent(ResetPassword::class);

});

</code-snippet>
Smoke Testing

Quickly validate multiple pages have no JavaScript errors:

<code-snippet name="Pest Smoke Testing Example" lang="php">

$pages = visit(['/', '/about', '/contact']);

$pages->assertNoJavaScriptErrors()->assertNoConsoleLogs();

</code-snippet>
Visual Regression Testing

Capture and compare screenshots to detect visual changes.

Test Sharding

Split tests across parallel processes for faster CI runs.

Architecture Testing

Pest 4 includes architecture testing (from Pest 3):

<code-snippet name="Architecture Test Example" lang="php">

arch('controllers') ->expect('App\Http\Controllers') ->toExtendNothing() ->toHaveSuffix('Controller');

</code-snippet>

Common Pitfalls

  • Not importing use function Pest\Laravel\mock; before using mock
  • Using assertStatus(200) instead of assertSuccessful()
  • Forgetting datasets for repetitive validation tests
  • Deleting tests without approval
  • Forgetting assertNoJavaScriptErrors() in browser tests
