When to Use

  • Need API outputs that should land in Bruno structure or Bruno workflow.
  • The project already uses Bruno or wants Bruno-ready organization.

Workflow

  1. Read and follow the main prompt listed under Progressive disclosure (coverage, structure, quality bar).
  2. Add only project context that changes the result: scope, environment, constraints, risks, dependencies, expected deliverable.
  3. If input is incomplete, return a usable first draft and explicitly mark assumptions and gaps.
  4. Default to Markdown; switch formats only when the user asks.

Core Constraints

  • Prioritize by risk / business impact — do not treat everything equally.
  • Separate confirmed facts from current assumptions.
  • Do not invent endpoints, fields, environments, or root causes the user did not provide.
  • Use placeholders or env-var semantics for auth/secrets; never hardcode real credentials.
  • Keep output executable: concrete scenarios, clear priority, clear next steps.

Progressive Disclosure

  • Before producing output, read and follow prompts/api-test-bruno.md (minimum coverage, output structure, quality bar).
  • When a ready-made template fits: use matching files under output-templates/.
  • When the user wants examples or alignment with existing assets: read relevant examples/.
  • For deep framework/troubleshoot/schema notes: read only the relevant file(s) under references/, do not load the whole directory.
  • For format conversion or helper checks: prefer existing scripts/ over reinventing.
  • For evaluating/regressing this skill: use evals/ with skill-up.

Pre-delivery Checklist

  • Followed the main prompt's output structure
  • Minimum coverage focus: collection structure, environment setup, auth handling, priority endpoints, positive scenarios, negative and boundary scenarios, data or variable strategy, assertion focus, ... (details in main prompt)
  • Covered the minimum checklist, or explained omissions
  • High-risk items have explicit priority
  • Did not invent details the user did not provide
  • Assumptions and gaps are marked

Common Pitfalls

  • Do not pretend completeness when scope/context is missing.
  • Do not treat every item as equally important.
  • Do not skip assumptions and information gaps.
  • Do not dump generic theory unrelated to the current toolchain.
