At a glance

A skill your agent uses when reviewing CI coverage, automated checks, or test strategy related to Write unit tests.

  • Reviewing CI coverage
  • SKILL.md covers Quick Reference, Check, Fix and Explain, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Automated checks

What it does

Unit Tests is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when reviewing CI coverage, automated checks, or test strategy related to Write unit tests. Focus on whether the rule is continuously verified, not just documented.

Its SKILL.md is about 380 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/rule.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Unit testing and Test strategy. The repository describes itself as: 🗂 The essential checklist for modern web development, for humans and AI agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing CI coverage
  • Automated checks
  • Test strategy related to Write unit tests

Example prompts

  • “/unit-tests”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e8d14d0. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • frontendchecklist.io

    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

Unit Tests loads about 382 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 151 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~382
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.1k

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.

Write unit tests

Unit tests catch bugs before they reach production, serve as documentation for expected behavior, and give developers confidence to refactor code without breaking functionality.

Quick Reference

  • Test business logic, utilities, and edge cases
  • Aim for 80%+ coverage on critical paths
  • Use descriptive test names that explain behavior
  • Mock external dependencies, not internal modules
  • Run tests in CI to catch regressions early

Check

Check if this codebase has unit tests with good coverage for critical functionality.

Fix

Write unit tests for untested functions and components to improve code reliability.

Explain

Explain how unit tests catch bugs early and serve as documentation for expected behavior.

Code Review

Review tests, CI workflows, and enforcement points related to Write unit tests. Flag exact gaps where the rule is not automatically verified or where failures do not block regressions.


For full implementation details, code examples, and framework-specific guidance, see references/rule.md.
