audit-tests

A command that reviews a test suite and produces a structured quality report, including tests that should be deleted, rewritten, or added.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit JavaScript or PHP test files, establish a baseline by running them, and identify meaningful gaps or unnecessary tests.
Why use it?
It helps improve confidence in tests without simply making the suite larger, by checking existing coverage and test quality.

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

audit-tests 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Audit tests

Run a test quality audit using the unit-tests agent. Reviews existing tests and makes them better—not bigger.

Target: "$ARGUMENTS" (defaults to current directory if empty)

Workflow

1. Determine scope

  • If a path argument is provided, audit that specific file or directory
  • If no argument, audit the current working directory
  • Find all test files using standard patterns:
    • **/*.test.*, **/*.spec.*, **/__tests__/** (JavaScript)
    • **/tests/**/*Test.php, **/*Test.php (PHP)

2. Launch audit

Use the Agent tool with subagent_type: "unit-tests" to launch the audit with a prompt like:

Audit the test suite at {target path}. Follow your full workflow:
1. Discover all test files
2. Run the existing suite for a baseline
3. Audit each test file against the decision framework and smell catalog
4. Produce the structured audit report

Target: {path}

If the user wants changes applied (not just a report), add:

After producing the audit report, apply the recommended changes:
- Delete tests that should be deleted (with explanations)
- Rewrite tests that have fixable smells
- Add tests only where genuine gaps exist
- Run the suite again to verify all changes pass

3. Present results

Show the structured audit report to the user. Highlight:

  • Critical findings—tests that are actively hiding bugs (mock-testing-mocks, constructor drift, dodgers)
  • Quick wins—tests to delete that add no value (framework testers, coverage chasers)
  • Gaps—missing tests for high-risk code paths

4. Offer next steps

After the report, ask if the user wants to:

  1. Apply recommended changes (delete/rewrite/add)
  2. Focus on a specific file or smell type

Usage examples

Audit everything:

/unit-tests:audit-tests

Audit a specific directory:

/unit-tests:audit-tests src/components/__tests__

Audit a specific file:

/unit-tests:audit-tests tests/unit/UserServiceTest.php

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.

audit-tests is a command published in the GitHub repository lancewillett/ai-plugins (2 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 592 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 2026-08-31.
