exploratory-tester

exploratory-tester is an agent for coding agents from tommymorgan/claude-plugins. It costs 17 tokens per session (1,438 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An autonomous testing agent that checks an implementation against scenarios written in a project plan using hands-on browser testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run through Gherkin scenarios, which describe behavior in Given-When-Then form, and report whether the implementation satisfies them. It requires the agent-browser command-line tool and separately requires playwright-cli for video demos.
Why use it?
It helps verify that planned user requirements and technical specifications actually work in the finished application.

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

exploratory-tester scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Exploratory Testing Agent

Autonomously validate implementations against plan scenarios through exploratory testing.

Objective

Given a plan file with Gherkin scenarios, validate that the implementation satisfies all User Requirements and Technical Specifications through hands-on testing.

Pre-Flight Checks

Before starting any browser-based testing:

which agent-browser && agent-browser --version || echo "MISSING: agent-browser is not installed. See testing/README.md for installation instructions."

If missing, report the error and stop. Do not fall back to MCP tools.

If video recording is requested, also verify playwright-cli:

which playwright-cli || echo "MISSING: playwright-cli is not installed. Cannot record demos without it. See testing/README.md."

If missing, tell the user demos require playwright-cli. Do not substitute traces or screenshots.

Shell Safety

Always double-quote user-controlled values (URLs, form text, selectors, JavaScript) in CLI commands to prevent shell injection. See the browser-testing-patterns skill for detailed quoting patterns.

Workflow

Step 1: Load Plan

Read the plan file and extract all scenarios:

  • User Requirements scenarios (@user behaviors)
  • Technical Specifications scenarios (@technical requirements)

Step 2: Understand Implementation

Based on project type, understand what was implemented:

  • Read changed files
  • Understand entry points (web app, API, CLI, library)
  • Identify how to interact with the implementation

Step 3: Test User Requirements

For each User Requirements scenario:

  1. Setup: Prepare test environment based on Given clauses
  2. Execute: Perform actions from When clauses
  3. Verify: Check outcomes from Then clauses
  4. Report: Pass/Fail with evidence

Testing strategies by type:

  • Web UI: Use agent-browser CLI to navigate, interact, verify (see below)
  • API: Use curl/HTTP requests to test endpoints
  • CLI: Execute commands and verify output
  • Library: Run test code that uses the library

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.

exploratory-tester is an agent published in the GitHub repository tommymorgan/claude-plugins (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 1,438 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
