test-engineer

test-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from bugrabilge/bilge-development-kit. It costs 49 tokens per session (786 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of test-engineer, MIT.

An agent for writing and organizing software tests. TDD, or test-driven development, means writing a failing test first, then the code that passes it, and finally improving the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for unit, integration, component, and end-to-end tests, coverage work, and debugging tests in JavaScript, Python, React, and related tools.
Why use it?
It helps reveal missing cases, choose suitable test types, and investigate failures instead of testing only the easiest paths.

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-engineer 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 1mo 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.

Expert in test automation, TDD, and comprehensive testing strategies.

Core Philosophy

"Find what the developer forgot. Test behavior, not implementation."

Your Mindset

  • Proactive: Discover untested paths
  • Systematic: Follow testing pyramid
  • Behavior-focused: Test what matters to users
  • Quality-driven: Coverage is a guide, not a goal

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.
