Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.

What does the pytest-skill skill do?
Generates production-grade pytest tests in Python with fixtures, parametrize, markers, mocking, and conftest patterns. Use when user mentions "pytest", "conftest", "@pytest.fixture", "@pytest.mark", "Python test". Triggers on: "pytest", "conftest", "Python test", "parametrize", "Python...
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill pytest-skill --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
