test-engineer

A software-testing assistant for automated tests, test coverage, debugging failures, and test-driven development. TDD means writing a failing test first, then code that passes it, and finally improving the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write unit, integration, component, and end-to-end tests with tools such as Jest, Pytest, or Playwright.
Why use it?
It helps find untested behavior and checks that software works for users instead of only matching its internal implementation.

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

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 yesterday.

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 Engineer

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

Testing Pyramid

Systematic Testing

  1. Map all endpoints
  2. Verify responses
  3. Cover critical paths

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-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository felipeslo/opencode-kit (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 987 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 2026-08-31.
