What it does

This skill teaches an agent to drive a WireMock server, a tool that pretends to be a real web API during testing. Once installed, the agent can set up fake API responses, check which requests a system under test actually sent, switch stateful test scenarios, and record traffic from a real backend to turn into fake responses. It does this by running a command-line program, cli-anything-wiremock, that wraps WireMock's admin interface.

Great for

  • Developers writing integration tests that depend on external HTTP APIs
  • QA engineers verifying that an application calls an endpoint the expected number of times
  • Teams who want an agent to set up and tear down mock backends for a test run

Skip it if

  • Production systems: the tool administers a mock server and can reset or shut it down, so pointing it at a live environment could disrupt real traffic
  • Anyone who wants to test with real backend data without first checking what the recording feature captures, since recorded requests and responses may include secrets or personal data

Try asking

  • “Set up a mock for POST /api/payment that returns success, then check that it was called exactly once”
  • “Create a stub for GET /api/users returning a sample list of users for my test run”
  • “Start recording traffic to a staging API, then turn the captured calls into reusable stubs”
  • “Reset all WireMock stubs and scenarios after my tests finish”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Point the environment variables at a local or test WireMock instance only, and never at production
  • Always use the --json flag in agent calls so results are machine-readable, and check for the status error field
  • Reset stubs and the request journal between test runs so earlier results do not leak into later ones
