Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by etewiah on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Rails Testing AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/tree/master/.claude/skills/rails-testing
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder.git /tmp/property_web_builder
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/property_web_builder/.claude/skills/rails-testing .claude/skills/rails-testing

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Rails Testing in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Rails Testing on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Rails Testing is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Rails Testing

Instructions

When helping with Rails testing:

Understand the test structure
- Check existing tests in test/ directory to understand project conventions
- Look for test patterns in similar files (models, controllers, etc.)
- Respect the project's test organization and naming conventions
Running tests
- Run all tests: bin/rails test
- Run specific file: bin/rails test test/models/user_test.rb
- Run specific test: bin/rails test test/models/user_test.rb:5 (line number)
- Run with verbose output: bin/rails test -v
- Use --fail-fast to stop on first failure: bin/rails test --fail-fast
Test types in Rails
- Models: Test business logic, validations, associations
- Controllers: Test request/response, status codes, redirects, instance variables
- Integration Tests: Test full workflows across multiple components
- Fixtures: Use for test data setup
Writing effective tests
- Use descriptive test names: test_should_create_valid_user
- Test both success and failure cases
- Keep tests focused and isolated
- Use fixtures for shared test data
- Clean up side effects after tests
Debugging test failures
- Read error messages carefully - they usually point to the issue
- Check if test data is set up correctly (fixtures, setup methods)
- Verify assertions match the actual behavior
- Use puts or p to inspect values
- Check test isolation - tests shouldn't depend on each other
Test database
- Rails uses a separate test database
- Run migrations: bin/rails db:test:prepare
- Check test/fixtures/ for test data

Examples

When user asks: "How do I test this model?" → Create a model test in test/models/ following existing patterns, test validations and associations

When user asks: "Why is this test failing?" → Analyze the error, check test data setup, verify assertions, suggest fixes

When user asks: "Add tests for this controller" → Create controller tests in test/controllers/, test CRUD actions and edge cases

When user asks: "How do I set up test data?" → Suggest fixtures in test/fixtures/ or setup methods in the test file

Frequently asked questions

What does the Rails Testing AI skill do?

Help with Rails testing including unit tests, integration tests, fixtures, and debugging test failures. Use when working on tests or debugging test issues.

Why use Rails Testing on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Rails Testing is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Rails Testing in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/tree/master/.claude/skills/rails-testing. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Rails Testing?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Rails Testing?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Rails Testing with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Rails Testing AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by etewiah under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
