integration-testing from okhp3/skillz is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add okhp3/skillz/integration-testing@git:20260828.866dec6Pins git:20260828.866dec6 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Tests that components work together — service against real database, API against real dependencies, module against module. Use this whenever the user mentions integration tests, testing against a real database or queue, contract testing between services, or has unit tests passing while the system is still broken. For testing one unit in isolation, use unit-testing; for driving a real browser, use browser-testing.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Integration testing Unit tests prove each piece works against your assumptions about its neighbours. Integration tests prove the assumptions were right. Almost every "all tests pass but production is broken" story lives in that gap — a mock that returns a shape the real service never returns. These cost more than unit tests and less than end-to-end. Spend them on the seams where your assumptions about someone else's behaviour are most likely wrong. ## 1. Pick the seams worth the cost Test the boundaries where you cross into something you do not control: - **Your code against a real database:** queries, migrations, transactions, constraints. The highest-value integration tests in most applications, because SQL and ORM behaviour is where mocks lie most. - **Your service against its dependencies:** real HTTP, real serialization. - **Message producers against consumers:** that the payload one writes is one the other parses. - **Your code against the filesystem, clock, or queue**, where behaviour is subtle. Do not integration-test pure logic. If it has no boundary, it belongs in a unit test. **Done when:** each planned test crosses a boundary you do not own. …

How to install
mdr add okhp3/skillz/integration-testing@sha256:e1c3c8d5f0351f35The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260828.866dec6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
