Testing Skills for Kilo — FAQ

How do testing skills work inside Kilo?

Testing skills automate the grunt work of writing, running, and maintaining tests — from generating unit tests for a new module to scaffolding Playwright flows and keeping coverage reports honest. When installed via BuySkills, the skill is written into the directory Kilo reads from, and Kilo's agent invokes it on demand as part of its normal loop.

Are the testing skills for Kilo free?

BuySkills hosts both free and paid testing skills. Each listing shows the price (or "free") before install, so you can pick the right fit for your budget and workflow.

Do testing skills run my tests or just generate them?

Both. Generator skills create and update test files; runner skills execute your test command, parse failures, and feed the output back to the agent so it can iterate until tests pass.

Can I use the same testing skill with other agents?

Yes. One of BuySkills' core promises is cross-agent portability — install a testing skill once and it works with Kilo and every other supported agent (17+ total) without re-purchasing.
