It enforces native ESM patterns and Vitest's own `vi` namespace, covering function stubs and fake timers. Tests targeting Jest patterns like `jest.fn()` are treated as anti-patterns and replaced with `vi.fn()`. The guidelines include test templates for React components via `@testing-library/react` and in-source testing using `import.meta.vitest`. It also provides a ready-to-use `vitest.config.ts` setup configured for `jsdom` and V8 code coverage. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add LambdaTest/agent-skills --skill vitest-skill -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/vitest-skill/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/vitest-skill/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add LambdaTest/agent-skills --skill vitest-skill -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/vitest-skill/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add LambdaTest/agent-skills --skill vitest-skill -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/vitest-skill/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install LambdaTest/agent-skills vitest-skill ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/vitest-skill/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add LambdaTest/agent-skills --skill vitest-skill -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/LambdaTest/agent-skills --path vitest-skill ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/vitest-skill/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add LambdaTest/agent-skills --skill vitest-skill -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/LambdaTest/agent-skills/tree/HEAD/vitest-skill/SKILL.md ## When to use it - migrate test suites from Jest mocks to `vi.mock` and `vi.fn` - set up `vitest.config.ts` with jsdom and V8 coverage - test React components using `@testing-library/react` - implement in-source testing with `import.meta.vitest` ## Example prompts - Write Vitest unit tests for Calculator covering normal execution and errors - Mock the database module using vi.mock and vi.fn - Create a vitest.config.ts file with jsdom environment and v8 coverage provider ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.
