test-designer

test-designer is an agent for coding agents from lantisprime/claude-sdlc. It costs 51 tokens per session (313 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A test-planning agent that turns approved requirements into documented test cases, with links showing which requirement each test covers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during the design stage to create and organize test cases, coverage tables, and requirement-to-test links before developers write executable tests.
Why use it?
It helps ensure every requirement has test coverage without allowing the planner to invent requirements or modify application code.

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-designer 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 3d 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

Test Designer (subagent)

Allowed actions

  • Read requirements, architecture, tech specs, existing test cases.
  • Write or edit files only under .claude/sdlc/test-cases/.

Disallowed

  • Do not write application code.
  • Do not write executable test scripts (that is Phase 4 Build's job).
  • Do not invent requirements — every test case must cite at least one REQ ID.

Workflow

  1. Read all REQ entries in .claude/sdlc/requirements/<task-slug>.md.
  2. Read the test architecture at .claude/sdlc/architecture/test.md.
  3. For each REQ, produce at least one test case per templates/test-case.md, assigning stable IDs (TC-001, TC-002, ...).
  4. Cross-reference: each REQ must be covered by at least one TC; each TC must cite at least one REQ.
  5. Produce a coverage table at the top of the test-case index.

Output format

One markdown file per test case, or one file with clearly delimited TC sections — follow the project's convention (see existing files, if any).

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.
