What it does
Test Volo Flow is an agent skill from VoloBuilds/create-volo-app. Tests the create-volo-app CLI end-to-end against a local volo-app template. Use when validating CLI or template changes, running scaffold smoke tests, checking validateTemplate requirements, or verifying volo-config.json flows.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Testing & QA, covering QA and bug reports. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Template changes
- Running scaffold smoke tests
- Checking validateTemplate requirements
- Verifying volo-config.json flows
Example prompts
- “Use the test-volo-flow skill to test the create-volo-app CLI end-to-end against a local volo-app template”
- “/test-volo-flow”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ce4ec34. 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
Test Volo Flow loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 434 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Test Volo Flow
End-to-end smoke test for create-volo-app using a local volo-app template.
Prerequisites: Open the create-volo-app repository as the workspace (or ensure the shell cwd is its root).
Use required_permissions: ["all"].
Shell commands
Run every command from the create-volo-app repository root. Do not prefix commands with cd … && — that triggers extra approval and is unnecessary. Set the shell tool's working_directory to the repo root instead.
Fixed paths (nothing else is touched)
| Path | Purpose |
|---|---|
.tmp/volo-flow-test | Scaffolded test project |
.tmp/volo-flow-test.state.json | Run metadata (includes dev pid and frontend URL after dev) |
.tmp/volo-flow-test.dev.log | Captured stdout/stderr from test:volo-flow:dev (for debugging API/service failures) |
Template default: ../volo-app (override with VOLO_APP_TEMPLATE).
1. Run scaffold + verification
pnpm test:volo-flowSteps (each prints OK or FAILED):
- Check test dir (refuses to overwrite unless
--force) - Check pnpm
- Build CLI
- Scaffold test project
- Verify scaffold structure
- Verify builds
On failure: prints a summary, leaves .tmp/volo-flow-test in place for inspection.
Replace an existing test dir:
pnpm test:volo-flow -- --force2. Start dev server
pnpm test:volo-flow:devStarts the scaffolded app in the background with VOLO_DEV_IGNORE_STDIN=1, waits for VOLO_DEV_FRONTEND_URL=… and VOLO_DEV_BACKEND_URL=… from scripts/run-dev.js, verifies backend GET / health, captures all service output to .tmp/volo-flow-test.dev.log, writes URLs and dev pid to state, then exits while services keep running.
On failure (timeout, process exit, or backend health check), prints a filtered excerpt from the dev log before exiting non-zero.
3. Browser verification (AI)
- Open the frontend URL from the dev command output or state file.
- Confirm Welcome to Your App!
- Optionally confirm the auth UI renders. Full sign-in is not required.
Show full SKILL.md (181 more words)Show less
4. Stop dev server and cleanup
pnpm test:volo-flow:stop
pnpm test:volo-flow:cleanupstop sends SIGINT to the pid recorded in state and waits for shutdown. cleanup stops the dev server if needed, then deletes only .tmp/volo-flow-test and .tmp/volo-flow-test.state.json.
validateTemplate() requirements
These files must exist in the template. Do not remove or rename them without updating src/utils/template.ts:
package.json(must includetemplate.placeholders)server/src/api.tsserver/src/trpc/router.tsserver/src/server.tsserver/src/lib/env.tsserver/.env.exampleserver/platforms/cloudflare/wrangler.toml.templateui/platforms/cloudflare/wrangler.toml.templateui/src/lib/firebase-config.template.jsonscripts/post-setup.jsscripts/run-dev.jsscripts/deploy-guard.jsscripts/parse-wrangler-deploy-url.jsserver/package.json(must includedev,deploy,deploy:cfscripts)
Local template copy excludes: node_modules/, .git/, dist/, .next/, data/.
Dev readiness log contract
pnpm test:volo-flow:dev parses stdout from the scaffolded app’s pnpm run dev → volo-app scripts/run-dev.js.
Required machine-readable lines (do not rename without updating scripts/test-volo-flow.mjs):
VOLO_DEV_FRONTEND_URL=http://localhost:5501
VOLO_DEV_BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:5500After both URLs appear, the runner polls GET {backendUrl}/ until { "status": "ok" } or times out (30s).
All dev stdout/stderr during startup is appended to .tmp/volo-flow-test.dev.log. On startup/health failure, the runner prints a filtered excerpt (lines tagged [server], [database], errors, etc.) plus the full log path. After dev-ready, the runner exits (dev server keeps running in the background); the log file retains startup output only.
Legacy fallbacks: human Frontend: / Backend: lines for older templates.
