stress-test

stress-test is a command for Claude Code from oborchers/fractional-cto. It costs 14 tokens per session (1,229 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that stress-tests a plan document through separate red-team and blue-team reviews, after checking the plan and asking how broadly to investigate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review an implementation, business, or design plan against its codebase, documents, configuration, and stated dependencies.
Why use it?
It helps uncover overlooked risks before work begins and makes the available evidence and review scope explicit.

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

stress-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 5d 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 — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Stress-test a planning document using the red-team/blue-team adversarial review pattern from the stress-test plugin.

Follow this process:

Step 1: Plan File

If no plan file was provided as an argument, use AskUserQuestion to ask the user which file to stress-test:

  • Ask them to provide the path to their plan document

Read the plan file to confirm it exists and understand its contents. Identify the plan's type (implementation plan, business plan, design plan, etc.) and the surrounding context (codebase, supporting documents, config files).

Step 2: Context Assessment

Briefly assess the surrounding context available for grounding:

  • Is there a codebase the plan references?
  • Are there supporting documents, configs, or data files?
  • What systems or APIs does the plan depend on?

Present this assessment to the user so they understand what the agents will work with.

Step 3: Stressor Mode

Use AskUserQuestion to ask the user which stressor mode the red team should use:

  • Grounded -- What-if questions strictly tied to plan artifacts and code. Every question references a specific file, config, dependency, or code path. Best for detailed implementation plans with rich surrounding context.
  • Creative -- Adds extreme, cross-domain stressors inspired by Residuality Theory. Includes business, regulatory, team, market, and "what survives?" questions that go beyond what the artifacts suggest. Best for plans where hidden coupling and blind spots matter more than line-by-line coverage.
  • Both -- Runs grounded questions first, then a separate creative pass. Most thorough but produces more questions.

Step 4: Tool Scope

Use AskUserQuestion to ask the user what tool scope the blue team should have:

  • Local artifacts only -- Read, Grep, Glob. The blue team can only reference the plan and local files. Fastest and safest. Best when surrounding context is rich (e.g., a full codebase).
  • + Web research -- Adds WebSearch and WebFetch. The blue team can look up external documentation, API specs, standards, and benchmarks. Good when the plan references external systems or standards.
  • + System verification -- Adds Bash and MCP tools. The blue team can query live APIs, check configurations, run diagnostic commands. Most powerful but requires the systems to be accessible.
