Trials

Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: frontend  ·  Last updated:
type:audit
The correctness lens for a frontend build, organized around one question that decides whether your test suite is a safety net or a straitjacket: does this test go red when BEHAVIOR changes (a net — it warns on real regressions) or when the IMPLEMENTATION changes (a shackle — it reddens on every refactor, so you fix tests instead of code, and learn to ignore red). Use after seaworthy's slices exist, when writing or auditing frontend tests, or when a suite is brittle. The one shift: test BEHAVIOR, not internal structure — and put the test budget where frontend bugs actually cluster (integration: the seams, the two-graph drift, state out of sync), which makes the right shape a TESTING TROPHY, not the classic pyramid. Triggers on "what / how should I test this UI", "unit vs integration vs E2E", "testing-library / Playwright / Cypress / Vitest / Jest", "my tests break on every refactor", "snapshot tests", "should I mock this", "test coverage / 100%", "is this test worth keeping", "flaky tests".

What does the Trials skill do?
The correctness lens for a frontend build, organized around one question that decides whether your test suite is a safety net or a straitjacket: does this test go red when BEHAVIOR changes (a net — it warns on real regressions) or when the IMPLEMENTATION changes (a shackle — it reddens on every refactor, so you fix tests instead of code, and learn to ignore red).

Triggers on "what / how should I test this UI", "unit vs integration vs E2E", "testing-library / Playwright / Cypress / Vitest / Jest", "my tests break on every refactor", "snapshot tests", "should I mock this", "test coverage / 100%", "is this test worth keeping", "flaky tests".
Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Trials skill?
Use Trials when your Claude Code task falls under the Engineering category — specifically in the frontend area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Trials" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/engineering/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Trials skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Trials is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category.
