At a glance

Verify a change to this plugin before opening a PR. An agent skill from strapi-community/plugin-rest-cache.

  • Calls pnpm

What it does

Verify A Change is an agent skill from strapi-community/plugin-rest-cache. Verify a change to this plugin before opening a PR. Use after modifying anything under packages/, especially admin code, providers, or cache behaviour, and before claiming that something works.

Its SKILL.md is about 780 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Speed-up HTTP requests with LRU cache. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/verify-a-change”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit af0e7d8. 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

Verify A Change loads about 779 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 366 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~779

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.

Verifying a change

A typecheck is not verification. A passing build is not verification. This repository has shipped code that compiled, built, passed every test, and was completely broken in production.

Always

bash
pnpm run build:plugin:rest-cache   # playgrounds resolve the built dist, not src
pnpm run test:lint                 # typechecks server AND admin
pnpm run test:e2e:memory           # 116 specs, boots Strapi in-process

build:plugin:rest-cache first, every time. The playgrounds consume dist/, so an unbuilt change is invisible to every test below it and you will debug a stale artifact.

If you touched admin/

bash
pnpm run test:admin

Non-negotiable. The admin panel behaves differently under strapi develop than under strapi build: in dev, Vite dedupes @strapi/strapi/admin to the host's copy; in a production build the plugin chunk gets its own copy of that module graph. A change verified only in strapi develop has not been verified.

Symptoms this catches, all of which have happened here: the dashboard hanging on its loading state, Page.Protect refusing a super admin, useRBAC throwing must be used within Auth, and the content-manager list view dying outright.

First run needs pnpm exec playwright install chromium.

If you touched a provider or package shape

bash
pnpm run test:deps    # every import must be a declared dependency
pnpm run test:esm     # the .mjs bundle must contain no CommonJS-only globals
pnpm run test:smoke   # loads the built providers and exercises them

test:esm exists because require.resolve once survived into the ESM bundle, where require does not exist, and the plugin failed to boot for anyone whose runtime took the import branch of the exports map. The e2e suite could not see it — it loads the CommonJS entry.

If you touched caching or invalidation behaviour

Run the redis suite too. It exercises code paths the memory provider does not have — cluster-safe deletes, the key-tracking set, prefix handling:

bash
pnpm run test:e2e:redis    # needs a local redis on 6379

Prove the test can fail

If you added a test for a specific bug, break the fix on purpose and confirm the test goes red, then restore it. A test that has never been seen red is not evidence that it checks anything.

Two real examples from this repo:

  • a coalescing test passed before the feature existed, because in-memory responses were too fast to overlap — it needed artificial origin latency to become a real test;
  • a cache-warming step in a browser test silently cached nothing, because it used a client that sent the admin session cookie and the default hitpass declined to cache it.

Before claiming it works

State what you actually ran. If you verified an admin change in strapi develop only, say that, and say it is not sufficient.
