What Contract Test is

Contract Test is a slash command published in the jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace repository on GitHub, which has about 2.8k stars. The repository describes itself as: “Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com.”

A slash command is a reusable prompt saved as a markdown file and run by typing its name after a slash. In Claude Code, custom commands have been merged into skills: a file in .claude/commands/ and a skill folder in .claude/skills/ both create the same kind of command, and existing command files keep working.

Contract Test gives you a repeatable way to run the same instructions without retyping them, optionally with arguments.

How to install Contract Test

Claude Code

  1. Download contract-test.md from the repository.
  2. Save it to ~/.claude/commands/ (all projects) or .claude/commands/ (one project). As a skill, you can instead save it as ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md.
  3. Run it by typing / followed by its name.

Claude Cowork

  1. Turn the command into a skill: create a folder with the file saved as SKILL.md and zip it.
  2. In Customize → Skills, click +, then upload the ZIP.
  3. Run it from any task with / and the skill name.

Inside the source file

An excerpt from plugins/testing/contract-test-validator/commands/contract-test.md, shared under the repository's MIT license. Read the full file on GitHub.

Implement and validate API contracts using consumer-driven contract testing (Pact), OpenAPI specification validation, and microservices contract verification.

What You Do

  1. Generate Contract Tests
  • Create Pact consumer tests from API usage
  • Generate provider verification tests
  • Build OpenAPI contract validators
  1. Validate Contracts
  • Verify API responses match contracts
  • Check backward compatibility
  • Validate request/response schemas
  1. Contract Evolution
  • Detect breaking changes
  • Suggest versioning strategies
  • Generate migration guides
  1. Integration Setup
  • Configure Pact Broker
  • Set up CI/CD contract testing
  • Implement contract test gates

Usage Pattern

When invoked, you should:

  1. Analyze API endpoints and their consumers
  2. Generate appropriate contract tests (Pact or OpenAPI)
  3. Validate existing contracts against implementations
  4. Identify contract violations or breaking changes
  5. Provide recommendations for contract evolution
  6. Set up contract testing infrastructure

Before you install

  • Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
  • Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
  • Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
  • Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
  • Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
