Comprehensive testing strategies for Python using pytest, fixtures, mocking, and test-driven development.
Automate repetitive workflows and reduce manual effort
Example: Generate reports, summarize documents, draft communications
Save 3-5 hours per week on routine tasks
Learn new skills, understand complex topics, get expert guidance
Example: Explain concepts, provide examples, suggest learning resources
Accelerate learning and skill development by 2x
Enhance output quality through reviews, suggestions, and refinements
Example: Review drafts, suggest improvements, catch errors
Improve work quality by 30-40% with less effort
Time estimate: 15-45 minutes depending on use case complexity

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionpython-testing-patternsExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
epx add wshobson/agents --skill python-testing-patternsFetches python-testing-patterns from wshobson/agents and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
.cursor/skills/python-testing-patterns
Restart Cursor to activate python-testing-patterns. Access via /python-testing-patternsin your agent's command palette.

✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use when skill capabilities match your task, clear ROI on time saved, and you can validate outputs. Best for repetitive tasks, learning, and quality improvement.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid when task requires deep expertise you can't validate, involves sensitive decisions, or when learning process is more valuable than speed of completion.
