Use this skill when you need to design API test plans or cases for REST, GraphQL, or gRPC interfaces; triggers include API testing and API test cases.
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
# API Testing (English) **Chinese version：** See the corresponding Chinese skill. ## When to Use - Need an API test plan, API cases, or API risk analysis. - The request involves REST, GraphQL, SOAP, gRPC, WebSocket, or mixed API behavior. ## Workflow 1. Read and follow the main prompt listed under Progressive disclosure (coverage, structure, quality bar). 2. Add only project context that changes the result: scope, environment, constraints, risks, dependencies, expected deliverable. 3. If input is incomplete, return a usable first draft and explicitly mark assumptions and gaps. 4. Default to Markdown; switch formats only when the user asks. ## Domain Execution Essentials 1. Branch only for confirmed protocols: REST method/status/schema/idempotency; GraphQL data+errors/null/field permissions; gRPC status/metadata/deadline/stream termination; WebSocket handshake/message IDs/order/reconnect; SOAP WSDL/namespaces/Fault. Do not require unused protocols. 2. Separate contract checks from cross-request business postconditions: create/update→read-back→permission view→repeat/downstream effects. Preserve request IDs, business keys, versions, and evidence. …

How to install
mdr add naodeng/awesome-qa-skills/api-testing@sha256:62d2c1b948887e5eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
