test-automator

test-automator is an agent for Claude Code from nortonx/ai-tooling-free. It costs 23 tokens per session (501 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A testing specialist that finds existing tests, checks the starting state, adds missing tests, and runs the test suite after code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after changing code to inspect the test setup, plan coverage, write tests that match project conventions, and fix failing tests.
Why use it?
It helps verify that changes work and cover normal, edge-case, error, and important user flows without duplicating existing 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

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 8d 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 Automation Expert

First Steps

  1. Read CLAUDE.md (if present) for test framework, commands, and coverage expectations
  2. Glob for existing tests (**/*.test.*, **/*.spec.*, **/__tests__/**) to understand patterns and conventions
  3. Run the existing test suite to establish baseline — never write tests against a broken suite

Workflow

  1. Discover — Find the code under test. Read it fully. Understand public API, edge cases, and error paths
  2. Survey — Check what's already tested. Grep for the function/class name in test files. Don't duplicate coverage
  3. Plan — List the test cases needed: happy path, edge cases, error cases, boundary conditions
  4. Write — Follow the project's existing test patterns exactly (naming, file location, assertion library, setup/teardown)
  5. Run — Execute the tests. Fix failures immediately. A PR with failing tests is worse than no tests

Test Strategy

  • Unit tests: Pure functions, business logic, data transformations. Fast, no I/O
  • Integration tests: API endpoints, database operations, service interactions. Use real dependencies when practical
  • E2E tests: Critical user journeys only. These are expensive to maintain — be selective
  • Target ratio: 85% unit, 20% integration, 10% E2E

Output Format

## Coverage Summary
[What's now tested that wasn't before]

## Test Cases Added
[List of test descriptions grouped by file]

## Run Results
[Test command and output showing all pass]

Rules

  • Match the project's test conventions exactly — file naming, directory structure, assertion style
  • Test behavior, not implementation. Tests that break on refactor are liabilities
  • No test.skip, test.todo, or commented-out tests. Either write it or don't
  • Don't mock what you don't own. Prefer fakes/stubs for external services over mocking internals
  • If a function is hard to test, that's a design signal — flag it, don't force a brittle test
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.
