rest-assured
REST Assured Java library for testing REST APIs. Covers HTTP requests, JSON/XML validation, and Spring Boot integration. USE WHEN: user mentions "rest assured", "api test java", "rest api test", asks about "given when then", "RestAssured", "HTTP test", "JSON validation" DO NOT USE FOR: Unit tests - use `junit`; E2E browser tests - use Selenium; WebSocket testing - use dedicated tools; Non-Java projects - use language-specific HTTP clients
What this skill does
# REST Assured - Quick Reference
> **Deep Knowledge**: Use `mcp__documentation__fetch_docs` with technology: `rest-assured` for comprehensive documentation.
## When NOT to Use This Skill
- **Unit Tests** - Use `junit` with Mockito for isolated tests
- **E2E Browser Tests** - Use Selenium or Playwright
- **WebSocket Testing** - Use dedicated WebSocket testing tools
- **Non-Java Projects** - Use language-specific HTTP clients
- **GraphQL APIs** - Consider GraphQL-specific testing tools
## Pattern Essenziali
### GET Request
```java
given()
.baseUri("http://localhost:8080")
.contentType("application/json")
.when()
.get("/api/v1/users/1")
.then()
.statusCode(200)
.body("name", equalTo("John"));
```
### POST Request
```java
given()
.contentType("application/json")
.body("""
{"name": "John", "email": "[email protected]"}
""")
.when()
.post("/api/v1/users")
.then()
.statusCode(201)
.body("id", notNullValue());
```
### Spring Boot Integration
```java
@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
class UserApiTest {
@LocalServerPort
private int port;
@BeforeEach
void setUp() {
RestAssured.port = port;
}
@Test
void shouldGetUsers() {
given()
.when().get("/api/v1/users")
.then().statusCode(200);
}
}
```
### Authentication
```java
// Bearer Token
given().header("Authorization", "Bearer " + token)
// Basic Auth
given().auth().basic("user", "pass")
```
## Hamcrest Matchers Comuni
| Matcher | Uso |
|---------|-----|
| `equalTo(value)` | Exact match |
| `notNullValue()` | Not null |
| `hasSize(n)` | Collection size |
| `containsString(str)` | String contains |
## Anti-Patterns
| Anti-Pattern | Why It's Bad | Solution |
|--------------|--------------|----------|
| Hardcoding base URI | Not portable across environments | Use RestAssured.baseURI or config |
| Not setting contentType | Request may fail or be misinterpreted | Always set contentType for POST/PUT |
| Ignoring status codes | Silent failures | Always assert status code |
| Not using path parameters | Hard to read, error-prone | Use {id} placeholders |
| Testing too much in one test | Hard to debug | One endpoint/scenario per test |
| No authentication testing | Security gaps | Test auth headers, tokens |
| Not validating response schema | API contract violations | Use JSON schema validation |
## Quick Troubleshooting
| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution |
|---------|--------------|----------|
| "Connection refused" | Server not running | Start server, verify port |
| "Expected status 200 but was 500" | API error or wrong request | Check server logs, validate request body |
| "Cannot deserialize JSON" | Wrong content type or body format | Verify Content-Type header, check JSON |
| Authentication fails | Missing/wrong token | Check Authorization header |
| Timeout | Slow API or network issue | Increase timeout or investigate performance |
| "Path not found" | Wrong URL or method | Verify endpoint exists, check HTTP method |

jfrog
IncludedInteract with the JFrog Platform via the JFrog CLI and REST/GraphQL APIs. Use this skill when the user wants to manage Artifactory repositories, upload or download artifacts, manage builds, configure permissions, manage users and groups, work with access tokens, configure JFrog CLI servers, search artifacts, manage properties, set up replication, manage JFrog Projects, run security audits or scans, look up CVE details, query exposures scan results from JFrog Advanced Security, manage release bundles and lifecycle operations, aggregate or export platform data, or perform any JFrog Platform administration task. Also use when the user mentions jf, jfrog, artifactory, xray, distribution, evidence, apptrust, onemodel, graphql, workers, mission control, curation, advanced security, exposures, or any JFrog product name.
cupynumeric-migration-readiness
IncludedPre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.
alibabacloud-data-agent-skill
IncludedInvoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".
token-optimizer
IncludedReduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
resend-cli
IncludedUse this skill when the task is specifically about operating Resend from an AI agent, terminal session, or CI job via the official resend CLI: installing/authenticating the CLI, sending/listing/updating/cancelling emails, batch sends, domains and DNS, webhooks and local listeners, inbound receiving, contacts, topics, segments, broadcasts, templates, API keys, profiles, or debugging Resend CLI/API failures. Trigger on mentions of Resend CLI, `resend`, `resend doctor`, `resend emails send`, `resend domains`, `resend webhooks listen`, `resend emails receiving`, or agent-friendly terminal automation.
alibabacloud-odps-maxframe-coding
IncludedUse this skill for MaxFrame SDK development and documentation navigation on Alibaba Cloud MaxCompute (ODPS). Helps answer MaxFrame API, concept, official example, and supported pandas API questions; create data processing programs; read/write MaxCompute tables; debug jobs (remote or local); and build custom DPE runtime images. Trigger when users mention MaxFrame, MaxCompute with MaxFrame, ODPS table processing, DPE runtime, MaxFrame docs/examples, DataFrame/Tensor operations, or GPU runtime setup. Works for both English and Chinese queries about Alibaba Cloud data processing with MaxFrame.
