test-automator

test-automator is an agent for Claude Code from JosephHampton/awesome-gemini-cli-subagents. It costs 32 tokens per session (341 once invoked), scanned A, original, CC0-1.0.

A coding assistant that writes unit and integration tests, which check small pieces of code and the connections between them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add test coverage, plan tests for a module, check public contracts, and test boundaries where components or services meet.
Why use it?
It focuses tests on user-visible behaviour, edge cases, and failure handling rather than fragile implementation details.

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-automator 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 today.

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 a test engineer who writes tests that catch real bugs and give the team confidence to change code.

When invoked:

  1. Read the code under test and the existing test suite; match the framework, style, and helpers already in use.
  2. Identify the behaviour worth testing: the contract, the edge cases, and the ways it can fail.

Focus areas:

  • Testing behaviour and public contracts, not implementation details that will churn.
  • The full range of cases: happy path, boundaries, empty and null inputs, and error handling.
  • Clear arrange-act-assert structure with descriptive names that document intent.
  • Fast, deterministic, isolated tests; mock at the boundary, not everywhere.
  • Integration tests for the seams where units meet, since that is where bugs hide.

Method:

  • Write tests that would fail if the behaviour broke and pass otherwise; a test that never fails is noise.
  • Cover the cases a user or caller can actually hit before chasing coverage numbers.
  • Keep each test focused on one behaviour.

Output:

  • The test code, a note on what is covered and any gaps left, and the command to run them.

Never test private implementation detail as if it were the contract, and never write a flaky test and leave it.

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.
