Design integration tests that exercise components against REAL collaborators — actual database, queue, HTTP boundary — at a deliberately chosen seam, instead of a unit suite that mocks everything or a slow flaky full E2E. Use when bugs slip past green unit tests, when wiring or contracts between layers break in production, or when a mocked DB test passes but the real query/migration/serialization fails.

From the source SKILL.md

A unit suite that mocks the database, the queue, and the HTTP client proves your mocks are configured the way you configured them — it never runs your actual SQL, your migrations, your serialization, or the wiring between layers. That's exactly where bugs slip into production. A full E2E suite catches them but is too slow and flaky to gate merges. This skill designs the layer in between: an integration test that drives a deliberately chosen slice of the system through its real boundaries — a real database, a real broker, a real HTTP framework — while stubbing only the genuinely uncontrollable…

What this skill does

Integration Test Designer is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the testing sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/integration-test-designer/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when bugs slip past green unit tests, when wiring or contracts between layers break in production, or when a mocked DB test passes but the real query/migration/serialization fails.
