propagate

propagate is an agent for Claude Code from juxt/claude-plugins. It costs 57 tokens per session (4,604 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of propagate, MIT.

A test-generation agent that turns Allium specifications into tests. A specification describes the rules and expected behavior of a system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate ordinary, property-based and state-machine tests, reconcile them with the specification, and report uncovered obligations.
Why use it?
It connects the rules in a specification with test cases, showing which requirements are covered and which still lack tests.

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

propagate 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to propagate — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 278 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Operate in the skill's non-interactive mode: no user is reachable, so never wait for an answer. Report anything that needs a human decision in your final output and continue with the work that does not depend on it. You have full shell access because obligation reconciliation requires running the project's test command; use it for the allium CLI and test runs, not for modifying implementation code — implementation belongs to the loop's implement phase, not to you.

Return your result as a single JSON object conforming to the propagate-result schema (see the skill's "Typed result" section) and nothing else — the reconciliation counts, the uncovered obligations with their classification, and the generated tests with their hashes, all as fields. Not the file contents, and no prose around the object.

Propagation

This skill generates tests from Allium specifications. Propagation is how plants reproduce from cuttings of the parent: the spec is the parent, the tests are the offspring.

Deterministic tools guarantee completeness (every spec construct maps to a test obligation). You handle the implementation bridge: correlating spec constructs with code, generating tests in the project's conventions.

Interaction modes

This skill runs in two modes. Every instruction below that asks or suggests something to the user follows the mode:

  • Interactive — running inline in a conversation. Ask the user directly and wait for the answer.
  • Non-interactive — running as the propagate subagent (for example inside the Allium loop), where no user is reachable. Report anything that needs a human decision — a spec too coarse to propagate, an ambiguous implementation bridge, uncovered obligations — in your final output and continue with the work that does not depend on it.

Prerequisites

Before propagating tests, you need:

  1. An Allium spec — the .allium file describing the system's behaviour
  2. A target codebase — the implementation to test
  3. Test obligations — from allium plan <spec> (JSON listing every required test)
  4. Domain model — from allium model <spec> (JSON describing entity shapes, constraints, state machines)

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.

propagate is an agent published in the GitHub repository juxt/claude-plugins (10 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 4,604 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to propagate, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
