test-kitchen CLAUDE.md

test-kitchen CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from 2389-research/test-kitchen. It costs 1,988 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for the Test Kitchen plugin, which guides coding work through separate design and implementation stages. It defines an entry gate for brainstorming and an exit gate before implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Applying the Test Kitchen workflow to build requests, exploring several designs when needed, and coordinating parallel design or implementation work.
Why use it?
It gives a shared process for deciding what to build and when to start coding, reducing unclear handoffs between design and implementation.

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

test-kitchen CLAUDE.md 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 Kitchen Plugin

Overview

Test Kitchen provides two gate skills for parallel implementation:

Skill Gate When
test-kitchen:omakase-off Entry FIRST on any build/create/implement request
test-kitchen:cookoff Exit At design→implementation transition

Skills Included

Skill Triggers Description
test-kitchen:omakase-off (1) FIRST on build/create, (2) During brainstorming on indecision, (3) Explicit request Wraps brainstorming, offers parallel design exploration
test-kitchen:cookoff At "let's implement" moments Wraps implementation, offers parallel execution

Key Design Principle

Skills need aggressive triggers to work.

Skills can't passively detect "uncertainty" or "readiness" - they must claim specific moments in the conversation flow:

  • Omakase-off: Claims the BUILD/CREATE moment (before brainstorming)
  • Cookoff: Claims the IMPLEMENT moment (after design)

Both skills present choices to the user, allowing them to opt into parallel execution or continue with standard workflows.

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.
