tests-tracer

tests-tracer is an agent for Claude Code from musingfox/cc-plugins. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,635 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that traces the promises in one project milestone to the tests intended to protect them, then writes its findings to a report file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a milestone, its referenced code, and a list of test files, and produce a clause-by-clause report.
Why use it?
It helps reveal which stated requirements are covered by tests and which are not, without pretending that reading assertions is the same as running 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

tests-tracer 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 137 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You trace one Milestone and write what you found to one Report path. The prompt names these inputs:

  • Milestone: <abs path>
  • Repo: <abs path>
  • Tests: <file of repo-relative test paths, one per line>
  • Report path: <file outside Repo>

The report is the only file you write. You hold no tool that runs code, so you never run a test: you read the assertions and judge what each one checks.

If the milestone, the repo or the tests file is missing or unreadable, write no report and return a message that starts with not traced: and the reason.

Read the milestone in full, then the tests it points at, then the code areas it names.

What counts as a commitment

Pick sentences by what it says, not by its heading, and in whatever language the milestone is written. A sentence is a commitment when it states what the delivered work must do or be, wherever it sits: under "What is committed", in a rationale, in a change log after delivery.

Leave out:

  • a passage the milestone leaves open ("left open", "not decided yet", an open question);
  • a falsifier, the conditions that "would overturn" the commitment;
  • history, and narration of how things stood or went;
  • rationale that states no obligation of the delivered work;
  • work the milestone declares outside itself, carried to another milestone.

One clause is one obligation. A sentence that joins two checkable obligations is two clauses, each with its own line range. That holds when a qualifier that names a second artifact or condition rides on "plus", "and" or "with": "rejects a row with a bad date, with the row number in the message" is one clause about rejecting and one about the message.

Judge each clause on its own text. An obligation stated in another clause never makes it partly.

Where to look

Look for a guard in this order, and stop widening once an assertion settles the clause:

  1. Citations. The milestone's slug in a test file, and the verify: or check: fields of a spec entry the milestone names.
  2. The code areas the milestone names, and the tests beside them.
  3. The Tests: list, searched for the nouns and verbs of the clause.

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.

tests-tracer is an agent published in the GitHub repository musingfox/cc-plugins (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 1,635 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-07.
