The Agent Skills Directory

[COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill provides instructions for using standard Perl testing CLI tools such as prove (the test runner) and cover (from Devel::Cover). These are industry-standard tools for executing test suites and generating coverage reports within the Perl ecosystem.
[SAFE]: The code examples demonstrate secure testing practices, such as using in-memory SQLite databases (dbi:SQLite:dbname=:memory:) for integration tests. This prevents tests from requiring external infrastructure or leaving persistent data on the host system.
[SAFE]: The documentation explicitly encourages security-conscious testing, such as using unlike($output, qr/password/, 'output hides password') to verify that sensitive information is not exposed in program output.
[SAFE]: Mocking patterns using Test::MockModule are provided to isolate the code under test from external dependencies like network APIs. This is a recommended practice to ensure test reliability and prevent unintentional network operations during test execution.
