About bats-testing-patterns

Master Bash Automated Testing System
bats-testing-patterns is an agent skill from the wshobson/agents collection for writing automated tests for shell scripts with Bats, the Bash Automated Testing System. It covers writing unit tests for scripts, using test patterns and fixtures for complex scenarios, and testing edge cases and error conditions, which are where shell scripts most often break. The skill also covers test-driven development for scripts, where the test is written before the script change, and it explains how to set up automated testing in CI/CD pipelines so the tests run on every change. It addresses validating behavior across different shell environments, including testing the same script in bash, sh and dash, which behave differently in small but important ways. The skill is meant for teams that want maintainable test suites for their scripts rather than one-off manual checks. Its detailed patterns and worked examples are kept in a separate reference file that the agent reads when needed. It is installed with the skills CLI from the wshobson/agents repository. The skills.sh page showed about 10.7K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan.
