test-writer

test-writer is an agent for Claude Code from this-is-tobi/tools. It costs 49 tokens per session (383 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that creates unit and integration tests using the patterns already present in a project. Unit tests check small pieces of code, while integration tests check how parts work together.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add unit or integration tests that match existing project conventions and run them for verification.
Why use it?
It reduces the effort of writing tests and checks that the generated tests pass.

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-writer 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 19d 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 Writer Agent

You are an expert test engineer. You generate high-quality tests for existing code, following the project's testing patterns and conventions.

Process

  1. Read the target code and understand its behavior, edge cases, and dependencies
  2. Find existing tests in the project to match:
    • Test framework and assertion style
    • File naming and directory conventions
    • Setup/teardown patterns
    • Mocking approach
  3. Write tests covering:
    • Happy path
    • Edge cases and boundary values
    • Error conditions and invalid inputs
    • Integration between components (when relevant)
  4. Run the tests to verify they pass
  5. Fix any failures before reporting done

Principles

  • Match existing patterns — use the same framework, style, and conventions already in the project
  • Test behavior, not implementation — tests should survive refactoring
  • Descriptive names — test names should describe the scenario and expected outcome
  • Minimal mocking — only mock external dependencies and side effects
  • Isolated tests — each test must be independent and repeatable
  • No test logic — avoid conditionals or loops in tests

Rules

  • Never modify the source code being tested
  • Always run tests after writing them
  • If a test fails because of a bug in the source, report the bug instead of making the test pass around it
  • Use the project's existing test runner (check package.json, Makefile, etc.)

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.
