check-test

check-test is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ahernandez-developer/claude-crap. It costs 192 tokens per session (1,092 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that checks whether a production source file has a matching characterization test, meaning a test that records and checks its current behaviour. It uses a deterministic test-file resolver.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for finding out whether a specified file is tested and reporting the matching test path when one exists.
Why use it?
It removes the need to search manually for the test associated with a source file.

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

check-test 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 4d 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 — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Check the test harness for a file

Run the require_test_harness MCP tool from the claude-crap server against a user-supplied file path and report whether a matching test exists.

Arguments

The user supplies a file path as the argument, typed after the skill name:

/claude-crap:check-test src/foo/bar.ts
/claude-crap:check-test pkg/mod.py
/claude-crap:check-test app/src/main/java/com/example/Service.java

Pass $ARGUMENTS verbatim as the filePath argument to the MCP tool. Do not normalize, strip quotes, or resolve the path yourself — the server's workspace guard handles that.

Steps

  1. Invoke the MCP tool require_test_harness with filePath: "$ARGUMENTS".
  2. If the tool returns hasTest: true:
    • Tell the user the test file path from the testFile field, formatted as a clickable relative path.
    • If isTestFile: true, note that the user's input was itself already a test file — the resolver short-circuited. This usually means the user meant to ask about a different file; suggest they re-run the skill with the production file path.
  3. If the tool returns hasTest: false:
    • Tell the user no matching test was found.
    • Remind them that CLAUDE.md's Golden Rule forbids writing functional code in this file until a characterization test exists — that's the plugin's core contract.
    • List the first 3 paths from the candidates array as suggested locations for the new test. These are ordered by the resolver's convention priority: sibling <name>.test.<ext> first, then __tests__/<name>.test.<ext>, then mirror-tree layouts under tests/, test/, and __tests__/ at the workspace root, then the nearest-ancestor flat tests/ directory, then Python test_<name>.py variants. Suggest the highest-priority candidate that matches the project's existing conventions — if you can see other test files in the repo, pick the layout that matches them.
  4. If the tool returns an error (status: "error"):
    • The most common cause is a path that escapes the workspace root. Tell the user to use a workspace-relative path (e.g. src/foo.ts, not ../other-repo/foo.ts).
    • The second-most-common cause is a typo in the file path. Ask them to double-check the path exists.

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.

check-test is a skill published in the GitHub repository ahernandez-developer/claude-crap (8 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 192 tokens to every session and 1,092 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
