  • 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 platonai on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Run Tests 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.
    https://github.com/platonai/Browser4/tree/main/coworker/skills/run-tests
  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.

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/platonai/Browser4.git /tmp/Browser4
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/Browser4/coworker/skills/run-tests .claude/skills/run-tests
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Run Tests 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 Run Tests 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 Run Tests 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.

Run Tests

Two test entrypoints:

  • bin/test.ps1 — unified test orchestrator for the Browser4 monorepo. Supports Maven tests, Rust CLI tests, PowerShell *.tests.ps1 files, real-world scenario agent evaluations, and mock-server launch.

  • bin/test-production.ps1 — acceptance test for the latest production release of browser4-cli. Downloads, installs, exercises, uninstalls, and re-installs the global CLI from the public OSS distribution channel.

When to Use

  • "run the tests"
  • "run fast / unit tests"
  • "run integration / it tests"
  • "run e2e tests"
  • "run cli tests"
  • "run all PowerShell tests"
  • "run real-world scenarios"
  • "check what tests would run" (-DryRun / -Show)
  • "resume failed tests"
  • "launch mock server"
  • "run production acceptance test"
  • "acceptance test the latest release"

How It Works

bin/test.ps1 buckets test-type arguments into dispatch categories (Maven, CLI, PowerShell, RWS, server) and runs each in sequence. The script must be invoked from the repository root (it Set-Locations there automatically).

Test results are persisted per invocation to .test-sessions/<session-id>/test-session.json (see bin/common/test-session.psm1). Pass -NoSession to skip persistence or -SessionPath to write to a custom location.

Usage

bash
./bin/test.ps1 [OPTIONS] [TEST-TYPES...] [EXTRA-ARGS...]

Options

FlagDescription
-DryRunCompile only (test-compile), do not run tests
-ShowPrint the final command, do not execute anything
-NoSessionSkip persisting test results to .test-sessions/
-SessionPath <path>Custom path for the test-session JSON file

Examples

bash
# Run fast unit tests
./bin/test.ps1 fast

# Show the Maven command without executing
./bin/test.ps1 -DryRun fast

# Run integration tests with extra Maven args
./bin/test.ps1 it -pl browser4-core

# Run end-to-end tests
./bin/test.ps1 e2e

# Run CLI tests (Rust cargo test)
./bin/test.ps1 cli

# Pass extra cargo test args to CLI tests
./bin/test.ps1 cli -- --help

# Run all PowerShell test files (+ the skills/ document conformance check)
./bin/test.ps1 ps

# Run all PS tests quietly
./bin/test.ps1 ps -Quiet

# Run all main tests together
./bin/test.ps1 main

# Run fast tests and PS tests together
./bin/test.ps1 fast ps

# Run fast tests without persisting session
./bin/test.ps1 -NoSession fast

# Write session to a custom path
./bin/test.ps1 -SessionPath out/session.json ps

# Preview what tests would be run
./bin/test.ps1 -Show main

# Resume from the last failed Maven module
./bin/test.ps1 resume

# Launch the mock server
./bin/test.ps1 mock-site -Dmock.site.port=18080

# Run all real-world scenarios
./bin/test.ps1 rws --scenarios

# Run a specific scenario
./bin/test.ps1 rws --scenarios amazon

# Run scenarios against installed production CLI
./bin/test.ps1 rws --scenarios --production

# List discovered scenarios
./bin/test.ps1 rws --scenarios --list

# Run a single task file directly
./bin/test.ps1 rws --task tasks/real-world/generic/amazon.md

# Run scenarios with 30-minute per-task timeout
./bin/test.ps1 rws --scenarios --timeout 30

Test Session

After each invocation, results are persisted to .test-sessions/<session-id>/test-session.json. To inspect the latest session:

bash
ls -t .test-sessions/*/test-session.json | head -1 | xargs cat

The session records the last status, log paths, per-file results (for ps), system environment, and a rolling 5-entry history per test type. Pass -NoSession to skip persistence, or -SessionPath <path> to write to a custom location.

Production Acceptance Test

bin/test-production.ps1 simulates a real end user's journey with the published browser4-cli release. It is designed to be run in CI or locally before tagging a release.

Safe default

Running with no arguments shows help (safe default):

bash
./bin/test-production.ps1

Options

FlagDescription
-WorkingDir <path>Working directory for temporary artifacts (default: random subdir under system temp)
-StressEnable the multi-scenario stress suite (opt-in)
-MultiScenariosIterations <n>Iterations for the multi-scenario suite (default: 1, only with -Stress)
-RemoveWorkingDirDelete the working directory on exit (default: preserved for review)

What it tests

  1. Creates an isolated working directory (default: system temp + random suffix)
  2. Cleans any pre-existing global browser4-cli installation
  3. Installs the latest CLI via the remote bootstrap script (unmodified)
  4. Verifies the CLI is on PATH after install (fails if the install script is broken)
  5. Smoke-tests: --help, --version, config --help, agent-run --help, invalid command
  6. Cold-starts the browser server (open), verifies health endpoint responds
  7. Measures warm-start latency vs cold-start (cycle 2)
  8. Shuts down the server (close-all, kill-all), verifies it's unreachable
  9. Uninstalls and verifies runtime data is removed
  10. Repeats the install cycle to verify idempotency
  11. (With -Stress) Runs multi-scenarios.ps1 against the global CLI

Key principle

The script acts like a real end user — it does not patch install scripts, create missing symlinks, or manually clean up after uninstall. If any of those are needed, the test fails because a real user would hit the same broken behavior.

Examples

bash
# Show help (no arguments = safe default)
./bin/test-production.ps1

# Run the full acceptance test
./bin/test-production.ps1 -Stress

# Production CI: stress test with multiple iterations, clean up afterward
./bin/test-production.ps1 -Stress -MultiScenariosIterations 3 -RemoveWorkingDir

# Use a specific working directory
./bin/test-production.ps1 -WorkingDir /tmp/my-acceptance-test

Frequently asked questions

What does the Run Tests AI skill do?

Discovers and runs Browser4 test suites (unit, integration, E2E, CLI, PowerShell, real-world scenarios, production acceptance). Use when asked to run, check, or verify tests.

Why use Run Tests on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Run Tests 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 Run Tests in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/platonai/Browser4/tree/main/coworker/skills/run-tests. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Run Tests?

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 Run Tests?

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

Is the Run Tests AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by platonai under the Apache-2.0 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.
