FAQPage Schema
How do I test Claude Code skills using a standardized testing harness?

You can validate Claude Code skills by applying the Kiln task-shapes testing framework, which defines standardized task shapes across agent, backend, cli, data, docs, frontend, infra, and skill tests to ensure consistent end-to-end evaluation scenarios.

What is the best way to run Kiln tests for Claude Code plugins?

Run Kiln tests by executing the command /kiln:kiln-test <plugin> <test> through the Kiln plugin. This verifies skill coverage and reports exit codes, the last PASS/FAIL line, and transcript-based diagnostic metrics.

Does the Kiln task-shapes framework support end-to-end evaluation for frontend and backend tests?

Yes, the Kiln task-shapes framework covers end-to-end skill evaluation scenarios across agent, backend, cli, data, docs, frontend, infra, and skill tests, providing a consistent test harness for comprehensive coverage.

What diagnostic metrics does Kiln testing report after validating a Claude Code skill?

Kiln testing reports exit codes, the last PASS/FAIL line, and transcript-based metrics. These diagnostic outputs help you verify skill coverage and identify specific failures during the evaluation process.

Can I use task-shapes to automate QA testing for Claude Code skills?

Yes, task-shapes facilitates QA automation for Claude Code skills by defining standardized task shapes within a testing harness. It ensures consistent evaluation scenarios run via the Kiln plugin to verify skill behavior.

Why do I need a standardized testing framework for Claude Code skill evaluation?

A standardized testing framework ensures consistent evaluation scenarios across multiple domains like agent, backend, and infra tests. Without it, validating Claude Code skills end-to-end lacks uniform metrics for pass/fail verification.
