About this skill

Testing is a skill in udecode/plate-playground-template (241 stars). Its SKILL.md is about 415 tokens. Licence: MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 324070e. 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

Testing loads about 415 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 6 tokens; SKILL.md has 222 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
~415

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: testing

Testing Goal

Keep tests in three buckets only:

  • Pure unit tests for deterministic logic.
  • Thin component or hook contract tests for real app behavior.
  • Golden input or output tests when serialized output is the contract.

Hard constraints:

  • Prefer Bun for the fast local loop.
  • Keep the default suite fast.
  • No browser or e2e coverage unless the app behavior truly needs it.
  • Coverage is a hotspot tool, not a vanity score.

Core Rules

  • Assert public behavior, not implementation detail.
  • Keep tests next to the code they cover with *.spec.ts[x].
  • Keep helpers local. Do not import one spec from another.
  • Prefer explicit assertions over snapshots.
  • Delete skipped, commented, or placeholder tests instead of babysitting them.

Seam Selection

  • Use plain function tests for pure logic.
  • Use rendered React tests for hooks, components, rerender behavior, and DOM behavior.
  • Use browser checks only when the contract is actually browser-specific.

Fixtures And Assertions

  • Keep fixtures small.
  • Use plain objects for simple state.
  • Use it.each for small behavior matrices.
  • In Bun + Testing Library, prefer render-returned queries over screen.
  • Use direct style-property assertions instead of toHaveStyle.
  • Use snapshots only when serialized output is the contract and inline assertions would be worse.

Quick Reference

  • Keep tests fast and local.
  • Start with the smallest seam that proves the behavior.
  • Prefer explicit assertions.
  • Browser checks are for real UI behavior, not lazy coverage.

Questions about Testing

How do I install Testing in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add udecode/plate-playground-template --skill testing -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/testing in udecode/plate-playground-template) 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-playground-template --skill testing -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/testing in udecode/plate-playground-template) 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-playground-template --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?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Testing is instructions for the agent only.

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 is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Testing use?

About 415 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.7k 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?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Testing: Vercel Composition Patterns (supabase/supabase, 111k stars), Finishing a Development Branch (obra/superpowers, 297k stars), Typescript Advanced Types (rolling-scopes/rsschool-app, 10k stars) and PR Babysitter (openinterpreter/openinterpreter, 69k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Testing?
