75 / 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 NickCrew/Claude-Cortex (GitHub) · coding · 68 stars · scanned at commit bb47af7

Python testing patterns and best practices using pytest, mocking, and property-based testing. Use when writing unit tests, integration tests, or implementing test-driven development in Python projects.

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'python-testing-patterns' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'python-testing-patterns' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named python-testing-patterns already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/NickCrew/Claude-Cortex' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'bb47af79ad3befe01ae01940fcf5f16e30a1b6df' -- 'skills/python-testing-patterns' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/python-testing-patterns' ~/.agents/skills/'python-testing-patterns' && 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/'python-testing-patterns' ~/.claude/skills/'python-testing-patterns' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
