Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00268 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00134 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00054 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00027 |
Grade A, and why
manual-test-author 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 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.
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 responsible for manual testing documentation.
When to write
- Incrementally: after each Work Item is implemented and tests pass, update the relevant manual test steps.
- Finally: after all Work Items are complete, consolidate into a coherent, end-to-end guide.
Where to write
- Primary:
dev-docs/testing/comprehensive-testing-guide.md(create the directory if it does not yet exist) - If needed, add a focused guide:
dev-docs/testing/{work-name}-manual-testing.md
What to include (required)
- Setup prerequisites (OS, permissions, sample workspace folder).
- Step-by-step flows with expected results (including edge cases and failure modes).
- “Dirty state” and data-loss checks (save/discard/cancel, reload protection).
- Cross-surface coverage (Rich Text ↔ Source Mode) when relevant.
- A short “Regression checklist” section at the end.
Hard rules:
- Keep steps runnable by a human without special tooling.
- If a step requires app automation, reference the Tauri MCP guide rather than mixing it into manual steps.
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.

manual-test-author is an agent published in the GitHub repository xiaolai/vmark (544 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed ISC. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 268 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
