Gates whether a new test should exist and forces it to be efficient, protecting CI from low-value test bloat. Use before any change to what a pytest, Jest, or Playwright test asserts or sets up, down to one fixture or one assertion added to an existing block. Front-loads the value bar (every test must catch a realistic regression no existing test already catches; extend the nearest existing test before writing a new standalone one; test behavior through the public interface, not implementation …

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'writing-tests' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'writing-tests' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named writing-tests already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/amplifthq/openmeld' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '880c4513b09cc9c13598fe4de1dc3bfdc2aa7c65' -- '.agents/skills/writing-tests' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.agents/skills/writing-tests' ~/.agents/skills/'writing-tests' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'writing-tests' ~/.claude/skills/'writing-tests' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
