ergopti: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/false-green-tests/SKILL.md

false-green-tests is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from adrienm7/ergopti. It costs 26 tokens per session (2,792 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for finding tests that pass without actually checking the behavior they claim to protect. A false-green test is a test that reports success even when the relevant bug is still present.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit doubtful tests, inspect common patterns that cannot fail, and strengthen tests so they genuinely detect regressions.
Why use it?
Such tests create misleading passing results and can allow old defects to return unnoticed.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

This is adrienm7/ergopti's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on ergopti itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ergopti configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node ./tools/test/find-false-greens.cjs # counts vs the baseline.

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

false-green-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 10d 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 — 231 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Tests that cannot fail

A false green is worse than no test. It occupies the slot a real guard would have taken, it is counted in the "3380/3380 green" figure everyone trusts, and when the bug it was written for comes back it actively certifies the bug.

This is the most recurrent defect in this repo. The driver and verification topics routed by docs/memory/README.md record it at least eight times: project-hs-partial-fixes-and-false-green-tests, project-lua-closure-before-local-nil-global, project-hs-timer-callback-errors-invisible, project-hs-fs-dir-drops-state, project-ahk-guard-tests-must-loop-the-class, feedback-ahk-source-encoding, project-macos-initlua-no-compile-coverage and project-ahk-isset-requires-variable-load-crash.

Run node tools/test/find-false-greens.cjs first. It reports patterns 1, 2, 3 and 5 mechanically. Patterns 4 and 6 need human judgement and are the two that have actually shipped bugs here — read those sections even when the tool is green.

The current scoreboard

Measured on the three test trees. These are the numbers the baseline freezes — they are a debt ledger, not an approval.

Pattern Count Concentration
1 Tautology 153 windows 59, macos 65, linux 29
2 Vacuous absence 17 windows only, of ~186 absence assertions
3 Dead / unregistered test 5 2 are a real bug, 3 are intentional SKIPs
5 pcall-only 374 linux 219, macos 155, windows 0

Two readings matter more than the totals. Pattern 2 is nearly solved: 169 of ~186 absence assertions already carry the guard, so the 17 that do not are deviations from a live convention, not a missing one. Pattern 5 is a Linux problem: 219 occurrences across only 72 test files is roughly three per file, and Windows has zero because AHK has no pcall — it uses try/catch.

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.
