## What it does

\`angular-testing` from `analogjs/angular-skills` is no longer maintained. The author removed the testing guidance rather than leaving it to rot, so `SKILL.md` now carries a deprecation note and a pointer to the official Angular skills. It installs with the usual `npx skills add` command, like any other skill.

What the agent gets is that note. No `TestBed` examples, no patterns for signals or `OnPush` arrive when the skill loads. For Vitest or Jasmine work the install buys one thing: a signpost to the maintained set. The old text still sits in the repo's git history if you want it.

So the realistic use is cleanup. Install it only to drop it, or to swap it for the official pack. The file itself hands you the removal command, `npx skills remove analogjs/angular-skills`, which is worth running if an old experiment left this skill in your agent config.

## Requirements
- Works with: GitHub, Playwright

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add analogjs/angular-skills --skill angular-testing -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/angular-testing/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/angular-testing/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add analogjs/angular-skills --skill angular-testing -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/angular-testing/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add analogjs/angular-skills --skill angular-testing -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/angular-testing/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install analogjs/angular-skills angular-testing
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/angular-testing/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add analogjs/angular-skills --skill angular-testing -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/analogjs/angular-skills --path skills/angular-testing
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/angular-testing/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add analogjs/angular-skills --skill angular-testing -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/analogjs/angular-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/angular-testing/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- replace an abandoned Angular testing skill with a maintained one
- remove `analogjs/angular-skills` from an agent setup
- explain why the agent writes no `TestBed` tests after loading the skill
- move a project onto the official Angular skills

## Example prompts
- Check whether I have `angular-testing` installed and show me what is inside `SKILL.md`
- Drop `analogjs/angular-skills` from my project with `npx skills remove analogjs/angular-skills`
- What should I use instead of `angular-testing` for Vitest tests in Angular v20+?

description: DEPRECATED - this skill is unmaintained. Use the official Angular skills at https://github.com/angular/skills instead. Write unit and integration tests for Angular v20+ applications using Vitest or Jasmine with TestBed and modern testing patterns. Use for testing components with signals, OnPush change detection, services with inject(), and HTTP interactions. Triggers on test creation, testing signal-based components, mocking dependencies, or setting up test infrastructure. Don't use for E2E testing with Cypress or Playwright, or for testing non-Angular JavaScript/TypeScript code.
