testing_review

A review command that checks whether a project's tests match its testing strategy. It can first look for a TESTING_STRATEGY.md file, which documents what the project intends to test.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing test structure, comparing tests with the code and testing goals, checking important functionality, and producing recommendations and an alignment report.
Why use it?
It helps find tests that are missing, unnecessary, poorly aligned with the code, or too focused on less important areas.

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

testing_review 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 3d 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.

Testing Review - Execute top to bottom

Analyzes test implementation against the project's testing strategy to ensure tests remain balanced, purposeful, and aligned with development goals.

Prerequisites Check

FIRST, check if a testing strategy document exists:

  • CHECK for .simone/01_PROJECT_DOCS/TESTING_STRATEGY.md
  • If NOT found, inform the user: "No testing strategy document found. Would you like me to help create one, or proceed with a general test quality review?"
  • If user wants to proceed without strategy, adapt the review to focus on general test quality principles

Create a TODO with EXACTLY these 7 Items

  1. Load testing strategy document (or define review criteria)
  2. Analyze test implementation structure
  3. Evaluate test-to-code alignment
  4. Identify misaligned or unnecessary tests
  5. Assess critical functionality coverage
  6. Generate modification recommendations
  7. Create alignment report

Follow step by step and adhere closely to the following instructions for each step.

DETAILS on every TODO item

1. Load testing strategy document (or define review criteria)

Option A - Strategy document exists:

  • LOAD .simone/01_PROJECT_DOCS/TESTING_STRATEGY.md
  • EXTRACT key principles and priorities
  • IDENTIFY what should and shouldn't be tested
  • NOTE coverage expectations and quality gates
  • UNDERSTAND the testing philosophy

Option B - No strategy document: Use general best practices as review criteria:

  • Tests should focus on behavior, not implementation
  • Critical paths must have coverage
  • Tests should be maintainable and clear
  • Avoid over-testing simple getters/setters
  • Balance between coverage and maintenance burden

DOCUMENT which approach is being used for this review.

2. Analyze test implementation structure

EXAMINE the current test codebase:

  • USE test.md command to run tests
  • EXPLORE test directory structure and organization
  • IDENTIFY test categories and their purposes
  • CHECK test naming conventions and patterns
  • NOTE any test infrastructure or utilities

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.
