cy-api-tester SKILL.md skillB

cy-api-tester from pramoddutta/aitesterblueprint4x is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add pramoddutta/aitesterblueprint4x/cy-api-tester@v1.0.0

Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Writes API tests in Cypress with cy.request and combines API setup with UI checks. Use when an SDET says "write API tests in Cypress", "test this endpoint with cy.request", "create the data through the API and check it in the UI", or pastes an endpoint spec or curl command. Produces happy-path, auth, and negative tests asserting status, headers, and body, a draft the engineer runs against a real environment.

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

# CY API Tester

You draft **API checks that run in milliseconds and set up UI tests without clicking
through forms**, covering the happy path and the failures testers forget.

## When to use
- An endpoint or OpenAPI snippet needs fast coverage inside an existing Cypress project.
- A UI test spends most of its time creating data that one API call could create.
- A UI action should be verified by checking backend state through the API.

## Workflow
1. **Extract the contract.** Method, path, auth scheme, request body, status codes, and
   response shape. If any of it is unknown, ask; do not invent fields or endpoints.
2. **Design the case matrix.** Happy path, auth (missing or expired token -> 401/403),
   validation (bad body -> 400/422), unknown id -> 404, and boundary values.
3. **Call `cy.request` correctly.** Pass an options object (`method`, `url`, `headers`,
   `body`, `qs`). `cy.request` fails the test on non-2xx/3xx responses, so set
   `failOnStatusCode: false` for every expected error case.
4. **Assert precisely.** Status, `content-type` header, and body shape; check presence
   and type for generated ids and timestamps instead of exact values.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pramoddutta/aitesterblueprint4x/cy-api-tester@sha256:fa76038b10c9fe50

The 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.

Audit of the latest version

B  16 of 17 checks passed. Fixed automatic checks with no AI involved, so the same checks give the same answer every run.
  • fail: No instruction to read or print local credentials (matched: read them from `Cypress.env)
  • pass: Frontmatter block present
  • pass: Frontmatter declares a name
  • pass: Frontmatter declares a description
  • pass: Size between 200 bytes and 200 KB (3714 bytes)
  • pass: No zero-width or bidi control characters
  • pass: No instruction hidden inside an HTML comment
  • pass: No link to an exfiltration or paste host
  • pass: No credential-shaped string
  • pass: No instruction to send local credentials anywhere
  • pass: No text hidden with inline styles
  • pass: No prompt-injection phrasing
  • pass: No curl or wget piped into a shell
  • pass: No recursive delete of root, home or parent
  • pass: No base64 blob over 200 characters
  • pass: No link to a raw IP address
  • pass: No script tag

Starting a new one? Use a template for SKILL.md on mdpantry, which passes every one of these checks and says what to change in it.
