run-tests

run-tests is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from agentculture/arxivist. It costs 34 tokens per session (475 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of run-tests, MIT.

A script for running a Python project's pytest tests, with options for parallel execution and code-coverage reports. Pytest is a tool for checking that Python code behaves as expected; coverage shows which code the tests exercise.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run all tests or one test file, use available CPU cores to run tests in parallel, and produce terminal or XML coverage reports.
Why use it?
It provides repeatable test commands for quick checks, debugging, and continuous-integration runs, including a standard full-check mode.

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

run-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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/test.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Run Tests

Run the project's pytest suite with optional parallelism (pytest-xdist) and coverage. Coverage targets are read from pyproject.toml's [tool.coverage.run] section, so the same script works in any sibling repo without modification.

Usage

# Default: parallel + verbose (recommended)
bash .claude/skills/run-tests/scripts/test.sh -p

# Quick check: parallel + quiet
bash .claude/skills/run-tests/scripts/test.sh -p -q

# Full CI mode: parallel + coverage + xml report
bash .claude/skills/run-tests/scripts/test.sh --ci

# Specific test file
bash .claude/skills/run-tests/scripts/test.sh -p tests/test_socket_server.py

# Without parallelism (for debugging test ordering issues)
bash .claude/skills/run-tests/scripts/test.sh tests/test_rooms.py

# With coverage
bash .claude/skills/run-tests/scripts/test.sh -p -c

Options

Flag Short Description
--parallel -p Run with -n auto (pytest-xdist, uses all CPU cores)
--coverage -c Enable coverage reporting to terminal
--ci Full CI mode: parallel + coverage + XML report + verbose
--quick -q Quiet output (no verbose, no coverage)

Extra arguments are passed through to pytest (e.g., -x for stop-on-first-failure, -k "pattern" for filtering).

When to Use Which Mode

  • After code changes: bash test.sh -p — fast parallel run, verbose output
  • Quick sanity check: bash test.sh -p -q — minimal output
  • Before PR / release: bash test.sh --ci — matches CI exactly
  • Debugging flaky test: bash test.sh tests/test_flaky.py — sequential, single file
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
