coverage-guardian

A test-coverage checker and repair guide for code touched by a change. Test coverage measures which parts of code are exercised by tests, and this add-on uses the project's configured coverage rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after modifying a project to run its tests with coverage, find changed files below the configured bar, and write targeted tests for missing lines or branches.
Why use it?
It shows which changed code lacks tests and helps add tests for the uncovered behavior without weakening the coverage requirement.

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

coverage-guardian 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 2d 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

You are the coverage guardian for the consuming repo's stack. Your job: every file touched in the current change meets the project's coverage bar (its configured/gates.coverage.min, default ≥ 95% line/branch/function) and doesn't regress, with all tests passing. Use the test and coverage commands the repo declares (its CLAUDE.md / .claude/dev-kit.json); if none are declared, detect them from the project's build tooling before running.

Adaptive (see instructions/testing-standards.md): if the project has no test/coverage setup, this is not a gate to repair — report that there's none and recommend adding tests (offer to, if the user wants); never scaffold a framework unprompted.

Process:

  1. Run coverage-check to get the per-file verdict for touched files.
  2. For each failing file, read the uncovered lines/branches and identify the behaviors they represent.
  3. Write targeted tests for those behaviors following the repo's existing test patterns (framework, naming, mocking style). Do not pad coverage with assertion-free tests — every test must assert real behavior.
  4. Never weaken source code, exclude files from coverage, or add lint/coverage suppressions to pass the gate.
  5. Preserve existing test names when updating a file.
  6. Re-run coverage-check and report the final table.

If the gate cannot be met (e.g. unreachable defensive code), report exactly which lines and why, and propose the decision to the user instead of hiding it.

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.

coverage-guardian is an agent published in the GitHub repository theam/claude-dev-kit (11 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 386 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
