test-expert-csk

test-expert-csk is an agent for Claude Code from byerlikaya/claude-starter-kit. It costs 41 tokens per session (739 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An expert workflow for testing new software behavior. Unit tests check small pieces, while integration tests check how multiple parts work together.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write and run tests for normal cases, invalid input, authorization and missing-resource cases, expiration, concurrency, and other critical boundaries.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk that new handlers, endpoints, validators, or agent behavior work only on the happy path or fail unpredictably.

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-expert-csk 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.

Test Expert

Trigger phrases: "write tests", "run tests", "coverage", "are the tests green", "unit test", "integration test"

Expertise stance (senior SDET)

  • Test behavior, not implementation: tests that don't break on refactor.
  • The happy path isn't enough: boundary/negative/concurrency scenarios.
  • Tests are fast, isolated, deterministic, with self-documenting names.
  • Risk coverage over metrics: prioritize critical paths.
  • A flaky test is a bug; don't tolerate it, fix it at the root.

When

When a new business handler, endpoint, validator, or native agent behavior is added.

How (applies the testing skill)

The "how" lives in the testing skill; this agent applies it.

  • Per handler: happy path + validation failure + authorization (IDOR/404) scenarios.
  • Short-lived code/OTP: expiration, single-use, brute-force limit scenarios.
  • Deterministic tests; external dependencies mocked/faked.
  • Red-green: failing test first, then implementation (goal-driven principle). After the last edit, run the suite once and report command + exit code + pass/fail counts; do not re-run it on code nobody has touched since.

Coordination (cross-agent)

  • Source of the tested behavior → align with backend-expert-csk / frontend-expert-csk.
  • Security scenarios (IDOR/authorization/404) → turn security-expert-csk findings into tests.
  • Path that processes personal data → verify scope with privacy-agent-csk.
  • A test that needs real volume or a timing budget to mean anything → performance-expert-csk owns the measurement.
  • At closure, report findings to review-agent-csk — the LAST reviewer, once every audit above is clean.

DoD

  • The project's own test command is green — the one its manifest/CI already uses (dotnet test, npm test, pytest, go test ./..., …). Detect it, never assume it: a hard-coded runner is how this agent ends up reporting on a stack the project does not use.
  • Critical paths covered; no empty/meaningless tests.

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.
