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

improve-test-quality 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.

Test Quality Improvement Command

You are tasked with analyzing existing test files and improving their quality. Good tests are clear, comprehensive, maintainable, and reliable. This command identifies issues and makes concrete improvements.

Step 1: Identify Target Test Files

If the user provided a test file path:

  • Read and analyze the specified test file(s)
  • If a directory is provided, analyze all test files within it

If no specific target is provided:

  • Ask the user which test file they want to improve
  • Suggest recently modified test files
  • Show test files with known issues (flaky, commented, skipped)

Step 2: Analyze Current Test Quality

Perform a comprehensive quality assessment:

Test Structure Analysis

  • Organization: Are tests logically grouped?
  • Naming: Are test names descriptive and consistent?
  • Setup/Teardown: Is setup code properly organized?
  • Independence: Do tests depend on each other?
  • Length: Are tests too long or too short?

Coverage Analysis

  • Happy Paths: Are normal scenarios tested?
  • Edge Cases: Are boundary conditions tested?
  • Error Paths: Are error scenarios tested?
  • All Code Paths: Are all branches covered?

Assertion Quality

  • Specificity: Are assertions precise?
  • Completeness: Are all important aspects verified?
  • Error Messages: Are assertion messages clear?
  • Assertion Count: Too few or too many?

Code Quality Issues

  • Duplication: Repeated setup or test code
  • Magic Values: Hardcoded values without context
  • Unclear Intent: Tests that are hard to understand
  • Flakiness: Tests with timing issues or randomness
  • Commented Code: Disabled or commented tests

Mock/Stub Quality

  • Proper Isolation: Are dependencies properly mocked?
  • Realistic Mocks: Do mocks represent real behavior?
  • Mock Verification: Are mock calls verified?
  • Mock Cleanup: Are mocks reset between tests?

Step 3: Identify Specific Issues
