  • 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.

  • 1 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by Microck on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

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

1

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.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

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/Microck/ordinary-claude-skills.git /tmp/ordinary-claude-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ordinary-claude-skills/skills_all/activitypub-testing .claude/skills/activitypub-testing
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Activitypub 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 Activitypub 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 Activitypub 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.

ActivityPub Testing

This skill provides guidance on writing and running tests for the WordPress ActivityPub plugin.

Quick Reference

For complete testing commands and environment setup, see Testing Reference.

Key Commands

  • PHP: npm run env-test
  • E2E: npm run test:e2e
  • JavaScript: npm run test:unit

PHPUnit Testing

Test Structure

php
<?php
namespace Activitypub\Tests;

use WP_UnitTestCase;

class Test_Feature extends WP_UnitTestCase {
    public function set_up(): void {
        parent::set_up();
        // Setup
    }

    public function tear_down(): void {
        // Cleanup
        parent::tear_down();
    }

    public function test_functionality() {
        // Test implementation
    }
}

Common Test Patterns

For transformer and handler testing patterns, see Testing Reference - Writing Effective Tests.

For mocking HTTP requests and other utilities, see Testing Reference - Test Utilities.

Test Groups

Use @group annotations:

php
/**
 * @group activitypub
 * @group federation
 */
public function test_federation_feature() {
    // Test code
}

E2E Testing with Playwright

Basic E2E Test

javascript
const { test, expect } = require('@playwright/test');

test('ActivityPub settings page loads', async ({ page }) => {
    await page.goto('/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=activitypub');
    await expect(page.locator('h1')).toContainText('ActivityPub');
});

Testing Federation

javascript
test('WebFinger discovery works', async ({ page }) => {
    const response = await page.request.get('/.well-known/webfinger', {
        params: {
            resource: 'acct:admin@localhost:8888'
        }
    });

    expect(response.ok()).toBeTruthy();
    const json = await response.json();
    expect(json.subject).toBe('acct:admin@localhost:8888');
});

Test Data Factories

For creating test data (users, posts, comments), see Testing Reference - Test Utilities.

Coverage Reports

See Testing Reference for detailed coverage generation instructions.

Debugging Tests

Debug Output

php
// In tests
var_dump( $data );
error_log( print_r( $result, true ) );

// Run with verbose
npm run env-test -- --verbose --debug

Isolating Tests

bash
# Run single test method
npm run env-test -- --filter=test_specific_method

# Stop on first failure
npm run env-test -- --stop-on-failure

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Activitypub Testing AI skill do?

Testing patterns for PHPUnit and Playwright E2E tests. Use when writing tests, debugging test failures, setting up test coverage, or implementing test patterns for ActivityPub features.

Why use Activitypub Testing on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Activitypub 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 Activitypub Testing in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Microck/ordinary-claude-skills/tree/main/skills_all/activitypub-testing. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Activitypub 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 Activitypub Testing?

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

Is the Activitypub Testing AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by Microck. Check the repository for licensing terms. 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.
