Run npx skillmds add naodeng/api-test-pytest in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is API Test Pytest safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. Capability flags: executes scripts. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with API Test Pytest?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is API Test Pytest free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

When to Use

Need API outputs that should land in pytest-based automation.
The project is already Python-first or wants pytest-style structure.

Workflow

Read and follow the main prompt listed under Progressive disclosure (coverage, structure, quality bar).
Add only project context that changes the result: scope, environment, constraints, risks, dependencies, expected deliverable.
If input is incomplete, return a usable first draft and explicitly mark assumptions and gaps.
Default to Markdown; switch formats only when the user asks.

Core Constraints

Prioritize by risk / business impact — do not treat everything equally.
Separate confirmed facts from current assumptions.
Do not invent endpoints, fields, environments, or root causes the user did not provide.
Use placeholders or env-var semantics for auth/secrets; never hardcode real credentials.
Keep output executable: concrete scenarios, clear priority, clear next steps.

Progressive Disclosure

Before producing output, read and follow prompts/api-test-pytest.md (minimum coverage, output structure, quality bar).
When a ready-made template fits: use matching files under output-templates/.
When the user wants examples or alignment with existing assets: read relevant examples/.
For deep framework/troubleshoot/schema notes: read only the relevant file(s) under references/, do not load the whole directory.
For format conversion or helper checks: prefer existing scripts/ over reinventing.
For evaluating/regressing this skill: use evals/ with skill-up.

Pre-delivery Checklist

Followed the main prompt's output structure
Minimum coverage focus: module structure, fixture strategy, auth handling, priority endpoints, positive scenarios, negative and boundary scenarios, assertion focus, test data strategy, ... (details in main prompt)
Covered the minimum checklist, or explained omissions
High-risk items have explicit priority
Did not invent details the user did not provide
Assumptions and gaps are marked

Common Pitfalls

Do not pretend completeness when scope/context is missing.
Do not treat every item as equally important.
Do not skip assumptions and information gaps.
Do not dump generic theory unrelated to the current toolchain.
