add-test

A command for adding a test case to the mgrep project's Bats test suite. Bats is a testing tool for command-line programs that checks commands and their output.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to describe a behaviour to test, such as how an empty search is handled. It adds setup, execution, and assertions, and can mark long-running tests when needed.
Why use it?
It gives the new test the same structure as the existing tests and runs it afterward. This helps verify a specific behaviour and check that the wider test suite still passes.

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.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 223 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

add-test 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.

What it actually says

Add Test

Add a new test case to the test suite.

Arguments

  • $ARGUMENTS - Description of what to test (e.g., "search with empty query returns error")

Steps

  1. Read the existing tests in test/test.bats to understand the current patterns.

  2. Add a new test following this pattern:

    @test "$ARGUMENTS" {
      # Setup (if needed)
    
      # Execute
      run mgrep <command> <args>
    
      # Assert
      assert_success  # or assert_failure
      assert_output --partial "expected output"
    }
    
  3. For long-running tests, add the tag:

    # bats test_tags=long-running
    @test "$ARGUMENTS" {
      ...
    }
    
  4. Run the test to verify it works:

    bats test/test.bats --filter "$ARGUMENTS"
    
  5. Ensure all tests still pass:

    pnpm test
    
Changes

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.
