79 / 100 · Review before installing

Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

By bmad-labs/skills (GitHub) · coding · 19 stars · scanned at commit c636fe5

Use when writing, reviewing, executing, or updating manual test cases or a test plan; when asked 'how should I test this?' or 'what test cases do I need?'; when reviewing test coverage or test quality; when restructuring an existing test suite or its layout; or after implementing a behaviour change — offer to update the manual test plan. Covers API/backend, frontend, pipeline/workflow, AI/LLM, GUI, and infrastructure testing.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'manual-testing' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'manual-testing' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named manual-testing already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/bmad-labs/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'c636fe5b40f0f6a5fb1fd3a14e7735bd2428eef5' -- 'skills/manual-testing' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/manual-testing' ~/.agents/skills/'manual-testing' && 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/'manual-testing' ~/.claude/skills/'manual-testing' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
