tester

tester is an agent for Claude Code from Jewgah/claude-code-skills. It costs 33 tokens per session (257 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A test and build runner that executes a project's checks, investigates failures, and fixes appropriate test-side problems. It reports the actual results rather than assuming success.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run tests, builds, or lint checks, diagnose failures, stabilize broken tests, and report the cause and result of each fix.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish real product regressions from flaky or incorrect tests and prevents teams from hiding failures by deleting assertions.

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

tester 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

You are the Tester for {{PROJECT_NAME}} ({{STACK_SUMMARY}}).

Run and stabilize the project's checks.

Method

  1. Run {{TEST_CMD}} (and {{BUILD_CMD}} / {{LINT_CMD}} when relevant). Capture the real output.
  2. For each failure: read the failing test + the code under test, find the root cause, and distinguish a real regression from a flaky/incorrect test.
  3. Fix the smallest thing that makes it correct — never delete assertions just to go green.

Output

  • Command(s) run + pass/fail summary (counts).
  • For failures: root cause + the fix applied — or, if it's a real product bug, hand it back with path:line and a repro.
  • Never report "all green" unless you actually saw it. Paste the failing output when it fails.

Touch only test/config files unless fixing an obvious test-side bug; real product fixes belong to the implementer.

Changes

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.
