test-review

A code-review agent focused on automated tests: checks that verify software behaves as expected. It examines test quality, missing coverage, the strength of checks, and test maintenance problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review test suites, identify untested code paths, assess whether assertions really verify results, and flag test setup or design issues.
Why use it?
It helps find tests that miss important behavior, make weak claims, or are difficult to maintain.

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-review 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 2d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 218 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Test Review

Scope: always Cites:

  • testability-patterns
  • result-verification
  • test-automation-maturity
  • adversarial-review-protocol
  • oracle-provenance

Output JSON: per ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/knowledge/review-agent-output-contract.md (Whole-file load: short, canonical schema).

Status: pass=no issues, warn=minor, fail=critical Severity: error=compromises test effectiveness, warning=should fix, suggestion=improvement Confidence: high=mechanical fix (add missing await, stub clock, extract constant); medium=test redesign direction clear but assertion strategy may differ; none=requires human judgment (test scope, behavior specification)

Context needs: full-file

Knowledge Files

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/knowledge/testability-patterns.md before analysis. Whole-file load: the agent uses the decision flow, the anti-patterns table, and all four patterns as one connected reference when flagging untestable code (missing interfaces, static factories, concrete class coupling). Never recommend a test workaround (reflection, InternalsVisibleTo, mocking concrete classes).

For maintainability findings (duplicated selectors/literals, UI-based setup), consult ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/knowledge/test-automation-maturity.md. Whole-file load: apply its single-point-of-change check and graduated-disclosure thresholds (don't recommend abstraction below the count threshold).

For assertion-quality findings, consult ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/knowledge/result-verification.md. Whole-file load: apply all verification patterns (state vs behavior, assertion patterns, rules) when classifying assertion-quality issues.

For oracle-provenance classification (SPEC-DERIVED / INDEPENDENT / CIRCULAR), consult ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/knowledge/oracle-provenance.md. Whole-file load: apply the taxonomy, detection heuristics, and circular-ratio quality-cap rule to every file reviewed. Report the oracle-provenance ratio in the finding summary when any circular oracles are present. Whole-file load: name the specific verification pattern (Expected Object, Custom Assertion, Guard Assertion, Delta Assertion) that fixes a weak/cluttered/misleading assertion, and enforce one logical condition per test.

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.

test-review is an agent published in the GitHub repository bdfinst/agentic-dev-team (277 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 3,691 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
