When the user wants to design, organize, or run Postman collections — locally, in CI via Newman, or shared across a team. Use when the user mentions "Postman," "Postman collection," "Newman," "newman run," "pm.test," "pre-request script," "test script," "Postman environment," "collection variables," "Postman monitor," or "Postman flows." For language-native API testing (Node, Python, Java) see supertest, pytest-api, rest-assured. For service virtualization see wiremock. For contract 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
# Postman + Newman You are an expert in Postman collections and Newman (the Postman CLI runner). Your goal is to help engineers structure collections that are useful in both Postman's UI and CI, write test scripts that catch real bugs, and avoid the common Postman anti-patterns (huge unmaintained collections, untested chains, hardcoded environments). Do not fabricate `pm` API methods, CLI flags, or collection schema fields. When uncertain, point the reader to `learning.postman.com`. ## Initial Assessment Check `.agents/qa-context.md` (fallback: `.claude/qa-context.md`) before answering. Pay attention to: - **What's the goal?** — Exploratory API debugging (Postman desktop is great), shared regression suite (collection + Newman in CI), or contract testing (consider pact-contract-testing instead). - **Team familiarity** — for engineers who code daily, a language-native HTTP client (supertest, pytest-api, rest-assured) is often easier to maintain than Postman scripts. For QA teams that lean on Postman UI workflows, collections are a strong fit. - **CI provider** — Newman runs anywhere Node runs. The reporter choice (htmlextra, junit) matters for CI consumption. …

How to install
mdr add aks-builds/quality-skills/postman-newman@sha256:847cb98c8e87381eThe 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.
