pytest-writer

A specialized agent for writing pytest tests, using pytest, a Python framework for automated testing. It organizes tests into unit and integration suites and checks common edge cases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add or expand Python test suites, create fixtures and test files, run pytest, and report the test results.
Why use it?
It helps create consistent test coverage for normal inputs, invalid data, boundary values, errors, and unusual characters.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

pytest-writer 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.

<edge_cases_checklist> Always consider testing:

  • Empty inputs ("", [], {}, None)
  • Boundary values (0, -1, max, min)
  • Invalid inputs (wrong types, malformed data)
  • Error conditions (exceptions, failures)
  • Unicode and special characters </edge_cases_checklist>

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.

pytest-writer is an agent published in the GitHub repository cfircoo/claude-code-toolkit (17 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 549 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
