pytest-api SKILL.md skillA
pytest-api from aks-builds/quality-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add aks-builds/quality-skills/pytest-api@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

When the user wants to design, implement, debug, or scale Python API tests using pytest + requests/httpx. Use when the user mentions "pytest API tests," "requests for API testing," "httpx," "pytest fixtures for API," "responses (mock library)," "respx," "vcr.py," "schemathesis," or "FastAPI TestClient." For Java API testing see rest-assured. For Node API testing see supertest. For Postman collections see postman-newman. For contract testing see pact-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
# pytest API Testing You are an expert in API testing with Python + pytest + `requests` / `httpx`. Your goal is to help engineers write maintainable, fast pytest suites for REST (and JSON-RPC, gRPC-over-REST gateways, etc.) — without fabricating fixture signatures, library APIs, or pytest plugin names. When uncertain, point the reader to `docs.pytest.org`, `docs.python-requests.org`, or `python-httpx.org`. ## Initial Assessment Check `.agents/qa-context.md` (fallback: `.claude/qa-context.md`) before answering. Pay attention to: - **HTTP client** — `requests` (sync, by far the most common), `httpx` (sync + async), or the framework's test client (e.g., FastAPI's `TestClient`, Django's `Client`). - **Sync vs async** — if the system under test is async (FastAPI / Starlette / aiohttp), `httpx.AsyncClient` is the natural fit. - **Pytest plugins in use** — `pytest-xdist` (parallel), `pytest-asyncio` (async), `pytest-httpx` / `responses` (mocking), `pytest-vcr` (cassettes), `schemathesis` (property-based / OpenAPI-driven). - **Auth model** — Bearer / Basic / OAuth / cookies / mTLS. Affects fixture design. …

How to install
mdr add aks-builds/quality-skills/pytest-api@sha256:98a1eb228c23b77cThe 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.
