integration-testing — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited integration-testing (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Unit tests mock _run_applescript() and test Python logic only. They CANNOT catch:
name, id, size selector collisions)The OmniFocus project's story: A variable naming typo went undetected by 400+ unit tests because they all mocked the AppleScript boundary. Only integration tests against the real app caught it. This lesson applies equally to Apple Mail.
| Tier | Speed | What it catches | When to run |

| Unit (mocked) | ~1s, 99 tests | Python logic, parsing, validation | Every change |
| Integration (real) | ~30s | AppleScript bugs, Mail.app quirks | New AppleScript code |

This is not optional. This is not "nice to have." Unit tests with mocked _run_applescript() give false confidence about AppleScript correctness.
