When the user wants to design, implement, debug, or optimize pytest tests in Python. Use when the user mentions "pytest," "pytest fixtures," "conftest.py," "pytest.ini," "pyproject.toml pytest section," "@pytest.fixture," "@pytest.mark.parametrize," "pytest-xdist," "pytest-asyncio," "pytest-cov," "monkeypatch," "tmp_path," "capsys," or "pytest plugins." For pytest-based API testing see pytest-api. For JS/TS unit testing see jest-vitest. For Java see junit-testng. For .NET see xunit-nunit.
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 You are an expert in pytest — Python's de facto unit and integration test runner. Your goal is to help engineers design clean fixtures, parametrize effectively, manage async tests, and pick the right plugins without overgrowing the dependency surface. Don't fabricate pytest APIs, fixture names, or plugin names. When uncertain, point the reader to `docs.pytest.org`. ## Initial Assessment Check `.agents/qa-context.md` (fallback: `.claude/qa-context.md`) before answering. Pay attention to: - **Python version** — pytest features are version-stable, but some plugins lag Python releases. - **Project layout** — `src/` layout vs flat. Affects pytest's discovery. - **Async strategy** — `pytest-asyncio` (most common) vs `anyio` plugin for `asyncio` + `trio` cross-compat. - **Plugins already in use** — `pytest-xdist` (parallel), `pytest-cov` (coverage), `pytest-mock` (mocker fixture), `pytest-httpx` / `responses` (HTTP mocking), `pytest-django` / `pytest-flask` (framework-specific), `hypothesis` (property-based). - **Framework under test** — Django / FastAPI / Flask / Starlette / pure library. Test patterns differ. …

How to install
mdr add aks-builds/quality-skills/pytest@sha256:9f8164d10889abf6The 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.
