## What it does

This plugin covers the contract testing lifecycle. It helps write and review Pact consumer and provider tests, publish contracts, run can-i-deploy checks and manage a PactFlow workspace.

The pieces inside are skills and agents, delivered as one set for Claude. No scripts to wire up yourself. Install comes from the `claude-community` marketplace in two commands.

It assumes your project already uses Pact and has a PactFlow workspace behind it. Without contract testing in place there is nothing for the plugin to act on.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install swagger-contract-testing@claude-community
```

## When to use it
- write a Pact test for a consumer service
- review a provider test for mistakes
- publish a contract to PactFlow
- run a can-i-deploy check before release
- sort out PactFlow workspace settings

## Example prompts
- Write a Pact test for the orders consumer service
- Review this provider test for problems
- Run can-i-deploy for the latest contract version

# PactFlow Agent Skills

Agent skills teach your AI coding assistant — Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and others — how to work with Pact, PactFlow, and Drift. Instead of explaining contract testing concepts every time you start a conversation, the skills give your AI persistent, deep knowledge of consumer test patterns, provider verification, can-i-deploy diagnostics, Drift test authoring, and workspace management.

The plugin goes further: it bundles the [SmartBear MCP server](docs/ai-tools/smartbear-mcp.md) alongside the skills, so your assistant can connect directly to your PactFlow workspace or Pact Broker. It can fetch live provider states before generating tests, query the contract matrix to diagnose a failing can-i-deploy, publish pacts and provider contracts, record deployments, and manage environments — all without leaving your editor.

There are two types of components in this repo. **Skills** are context files that activate when the task matches — the assistant reads them and applies the knowledge. **Agents** are autonomous sub-tasks the PactFlow skill delegates to: generating tests, reviewing them for best-practice violations, running a full BDCT flow end-to-end, or auditing workspace health.

Uses the SmartBear MCP `contract-testing_*` tools to generate and review Pact tests with AI, publish contracts, verify providers, run can-i-deploy checks, record deployments, and manage the full PactFlow workspace (environments, pacticipants, BDCT, webhooks, secrets, metrics).               |
