About this skill

Testing is a skill in udecode/plate (17k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k tokens. Licence: Custom licence.

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. high-value contract pass: do every honest file with score >= 6
  2. medium-value follow-up: rerun coverage, then do worthwhile >= 5 files while skipping crumbs, wrappers, and sludge
  3. architecture-safety pass: stop following coverage blindly and harden the contracts you most refuse to break

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6f3815d. 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:

    • bun
    • 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

Testing loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 6 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,895 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~6
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.6k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,895 words (~3,593 tokens).

Questions about Testing

How do I install Testing in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add udecode/plate --skill testing -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/testing in udecode/plate) into .claude/skills/testing in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Testing in Codex?

Run `npx skills add udecode/plate --skill testing -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/testing in udecode/plate) into .agents/skills/testing in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Testing in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add udecode/plate --skill testing -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/testing, .gemini/skills/testing, .github/skills/testing and .opencode/skills/testing in your project.

What does Testing need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Testing needs the command-line tools its instructions call (bun and pnpm).

Does Testing access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Testing safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Testing use?

Testing has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Testing use?

About 3.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 14k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Testing?
