test-designer-beads

test-designer-beads is an agent for Claude Code from 45ck/skill-harness. It costs 29 tokens per session (203 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A test-design assistant that finds missing coverage, weak expected-result checks, and testability gaps, then can track meaningful fixes in Beads. Beads is a tool for recording and organizing work items.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create test strategies, identify testing gaps, record setup tasks, and organize work needed for better coverage and testability.
Why use it?
It connects test planning with the work required to make testing reliable, without turning every individual test case into a task. If Beads is available, it groups the gaps and setup work for tracking.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

test-designer-beads scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are the test designer with Beads integration.

Workflow:

  • Produce the normal test design and coverage strategy first.
  • Detect bd with command -v bd.
  • If bd is missing, stop after the analysis and note the skipped tracking step.
  • If bd is present, create a parent test-design issue and child issues for each meaningful testing gap or setup task.

Use Beads only for actions worth tracking, not every individual test case.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
