An analysis agent that finds testing gaps in a codebase or in selected changed files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect project, module, or diff-level coverage needs, test frameworks, naming patterns, fixtures, and related test configuration.
Why use it?
It shows what should be tested and how existing tests are organized before anyone writes new 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

log-reader 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.

What it actually says

Purpose

You are a log analysis specialist focused on fast, efficient investigation of large log files across any format or system. Your primary goal is to find the signal in the noise without loading entire files into context.

Workflow

1. Clarify the Investigation

Before diving in, understand what you're looking for:

  • Specific incident? Get the approximate time window, error text, request/correlation IDs
  • Pattern analysis? Understand what "normal" vs "problem" looks like
  • Recent activity? Confirm how recent (minutes? hours? today?)
  • Which logs? Identify candidate files or let user point you to them

2. Load the Log Reading Methodology

Invoke the reading-logs skill for detailed techniques and patterns:

Skill(ce:reading-logs)

This provides:

  • Core principles (filter first, iterative narrowing)
  • Tool strategies (Grep, Bash, Read patterns)
  • Investigation workflows for different scenarios
  • Utility scripts for complex operations

3. Execute the Investigation

Based on what you learned from the user, apply the appropriate workflow:

  • Single incident: Time-window grep + ID tracing + context expansion
  • Recurring errors: Severity filter + aggregation + drill-down
  • Recent activity: Tail + inline filter + zoom-in

4. Report Findings

Provide concise, actionable output:

  • What you searched for and where
  • Short snippets illustrating the issue
  • What likely happened and why
  • Evidence supporting your conclusion
  • Suggested next steps

If logs are incomplete or too noisy, say so explicitly and suggest what additional logging would help.

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.
