What it does

Advpr Test Automation is an agent skill from thalysjuvenal/advpl-specialist. Use when the user wants to write, run, or troubleshoot automated regression tests for Protheus routines with ADVPR (Advanced Protheus Robot) -- covering FWTestHelper API, TestSuite/GPS de Testes setup, headless execution via FwExecSuite, and per-pattern scripting (MVC, ExecAuto/MSExecAuto, reports, processing routines, webservices, SmartLink, Smart View, single-message/TOTVS Message) plus routine preparation (screen bypass) and best practices. Also triggers on Portuguese phrasing like "teste automatizado", "robo…

Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files (for example `api-fwtesthelper.md`, `best-practices.md` and `gps-de-testes.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA. The repository describes itself as: Plugin para Claude Code especializado em ADVPL e TLPP para desenvolvimento TOTVS Protheus. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to write
  • Troubleshoot automated regression tests for Protheus routines with ADVPR (Advanced Protheus Robot) -- covering FWTestHelper API
  • TestSuite/GPS de Testes setup
  • Headless execution via FwExecSuite

Example prompts

  • “teste automatizado”
  • “robo de testes”
  • “automacao de testes Protheus”
  • “/advpr-test-automation”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d80599b. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Advpr Test Automation loads about 835 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 186 tokens; SKILL.md has 296 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~186
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~835

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.

ADVPR — Automação de Testes Protheus

This skill covers writing and running automated business-rule regression tests for TOTVS Protheus using ADVPR, the internal ADVPL-based test robot. It explains the FWTestHelper assertion API, how to register and organize test cases in a TestSuite (GPS de Testes), how to run suites with or without UI (FWMyTestRunner vs headless FwExecSuite), and per-routine-pattern scripting guidance for MVC, ExecAuto/MSExecAuto, reports, processing routines, webservices (REST/SOAP/Portal), SmartLink, Smart View, and TOTVS Message (single-message) flows. It also covers "routine preparation" -- adjusting legacy code so it runs screen-free during official headless execution -- and general ADVPR scripting best practices.

Activate this skill when the user wants to create or debug an ADVPR test script, set up a TestSuite, diagnose a TimeOut or unexpected-screen failure during headless execution, or needs guidance on which ADVPR pattern applies to a given routine type. It does not cover manual/interface-driven QA, unit testing of isolated ADVPL functions outside ADVPR, or general debugging of runtime/compilation errors unrelated to test automation (see advpl-debugging).
