ae-ltd-mutation-gate

ae-ltd-mutation-gate is a skill for Codex from aegntic/cldcde. It costs 42 tokens per session (346 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A testing workflow that changes code in small ways, called mutations, to see whether tests detect the changes. Mutation testing measures test strength beyond line coverage, which only shows which lines ran.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test critical modules, review killed and surviving mutations, measure mutation scores, and add focused tests for behavior the current suite misses.
Why use it?
Passing tests and high line coverage can still leave important behavior unchecked. Surviving mutations reveal missing or weak assertions.

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

ae-ltd-mutation-gate 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 today.

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

AE.LTD Mutation Gate

What This Skill Does

Measures test quality beyond line coverage using mutation testing. Exposes weak assertions and generates actionable test hardening recommendations. Niche gem source: mutation-tester plugin from awesome-claude-code-toolkit.

  1. Detect appropriate mutation tool (Stryker/mutmut/PIT)
  2. Run targeted mutation tests on critical modules
  3. Convert survived mutants into hardened tests
  4. Track mutation score to threshold (target: 80%+)

Quick Start

User: "My tests pass but I'm not confident"
→ Detect stack → Run mutations → Report survivors → Harden tests

Workflow

  1. Detect stack and tool.
  • JS/TS: Stryker
  • Python: mutmut
  • Java: PIT
  1. Start narrow. Run mutation testing on one critical module first to keep runtime bounded.

  2. Measure score and survivors. Capture killed/survived/timed-out mutants and mutation score.

  3. Convert survivors into tests. For each top survived mutant, specify the exact missing assertion and test case.

  4. Re-run until stable threshold. Target at least 80% mutation score unless user/project standard says otherwise.

Guardrails

  • Exclude generated files and non-business logic.
  • Use per-mutant timeouts to control runaway test runs.
  • Report equivalent-mutant risk explicitly.
  • Prioritize critical-path business logic over utility files.
Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
