testland/restassured-testing

Authors REST Assured (Java) API tests using the given().when().then() BDD-style DSL - status code + JSON/XML path assertions + authentication (Basic, OAuth2, API key). Configures Maven / Gradle dependencies, runs via JUnit 5, and emits Surefire / JaCoCo reports for CI gating. Use when the project is on the JVM and wants type-safe API tests in the app's own language; for a Gherkin feature-file flow on the same JVM use karate-testing, for YAML tests on the pytest stack use tavern-testing.

Content

87%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, executable reference for REST Assured with concrete code throughout, clear section navigation, and useful non-obvious conventions. Its main gap is workflow clarity: the author-to-CI flow lacks an explicit validation/checkpoint feedback loop.

Suggestions

Add an explicit validation checkpoint in the test-run flow, e.g. 'After mvn verify, if any *IT fails: read target/failsafe-reports/TEST-*.xml, fix the assertion/endpoint, re-run only failures with -Dtest=... before re-pushing.'

Show a brief validate→fix→retry loop (e.g., run a single test via `mvn -B -Dtest=OrdersApiIT test`, inspect the failure message, fix, re-run) so authoring has a feedback loop rather than only the final CI gate.

Trim the repeated '(Per [restassured-usage][usage].)' asides — a single note that examples derive from the usage wiki, plus the References section, would reduce clutter without losing attribution.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is code-dense with skill-specific, non-obvious prose (Failsafe '*IT.java' naming, preemptive()-vs-401 rationale, schema-validator as a separate jar) rather than generic explanations of concepts Claude already knows. It is not the level 2 'could be tightened' case, though the repeated '(Per [restassured-usage][usage].)' asides are minor clutter that keep it from being flawless.

3 / 3

Actionability

Provides fully executable, copy-paste-ready guidance: Maven/Gradle dependency snippets with versions, canonical static imports, given/when/then + status/JSON/XML path examples, auth patterns, a complete JUnit 5 test class, and a full GitHub Actions workflow — matching the 'Fully executable code/commands; copy-paste ready' anchor.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

There is a clear Install → Author → Run (mvn verify) → CI sequence, but no explicit validate/fix/retry feedback loop is described for the test-authoring flow; the CI section surfaces results with 'if: always()' yet stops short of error-recovery guidance. This fits the 'Steps listed but validation gaps; checkpoints missing or implicit' anchor rather than the explicit-checkpoint level 3 anchor.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The body is organized into clear, well-signaled sections (Overview, When to use, Install, Authoring, Authentication, Worked example, CI, Anti-patterns, Limitations, References) with one-level-deep external URL references and a dedicated References section; no bundle files exist or are needed, and there is no monolithic-wall or nested-reference problem. Per the guideline, well-organized sections with no need for external bundle references can score 3.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, comprehensive description that concretely states capabilities, gives explicit 'Use when...' triggers, and clearly distinguishes itself from sibling skills. Third-person voice is maintained throughout with no over-claims or fluff.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists many concrete actions — 'given().when().then() BDD-style DSL', 'status code + JSON/XML path assertions', 'authentication (Basic, OAuth2, API key)', 'Configures Maven / Gradle dependencies', 'emits Surefire / JaCoCo reports' — rather than vague language. This matches the 'Lists multiple specific concrete actions' anchor and is well above the 'Names domain and some actions' level 2 anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('Authors REST Assured (Java) API tests using...') and when ('Use when the project is on the JVM and wants type-safe API tests in the app's own language'), matching the 'Clearly answers both what AND when with explicit triggers' anchor and not the level 2 case where 'when is missing or only implied'.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural terms a user would say — 'REST Assured', 'Java API tests', 'JVM', 'Maven / Gradle', 'JUnit 5' — giving good coverage rather than the 'Some relevant keywords but missing common variations' level 2 case.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

A clear JVM/Java niche with explicit disambiguation — 'for a Gherkin feature-file flow on the same JVM use karate-testing, for YAML tests on the pytest stack use tavern-testing' — making conflict with sibling skills unlikely, matching the 'Clear niche with distinct triggers' anchor.
