continuous-testing

continuous-testing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts. It costs 38 tokens per session (615 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to running automated tests as part of a CI/CD pipeline, which checks code changes before they reach production.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run tests on commits and pull requests, run tests in parallel, and add quality gates to deployments.
Why use it?
It gives developers quick feedback when a change breaks the code and can stop deployments that fail defined quality checks.

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

continuous-testing 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-pipeline.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.

Continuous Testing

Table of Contents

Overview

Continuous testing integrates automated testing throughout the software development lifecycle, providing rapid feedback on quality at every stage. It shifts testing left in the development process and ensures that code changes are validated automatically before reaching production.

When to Use

  • Setting up CI/CD pipelines
  • Automating test execution on commits
  • Implementing shift-left testing
  • Running tests in parallel
  • Creating test gates for deployments
  • Monitoring test health
  • Optimizing test execution time
  • Establishing quality gates

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# .github/workflows/ci.yml
name: Continuous Testing

on:
  push:
    branches: [main, develop]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main, develop]

env:
  NODE_VERSION: "18"

jobs:
  # Unit tests - Fast feedback
  unit-tests:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    timeout-minutes: 10

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Setup Node.js
        uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: ${{ env.NODE_VERSION }}
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Run fast tests first (unit → integration → E2E)
  • Parallelize test execution
  • Cache dependencies
  • Set appropriate timeouts
  • Monitor test health and flakiness
  • Implement quality gates
  • Use test selection strategies
  • Generate comprehensive reports

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.

continuous-testing is a skill published in the GitHub repository aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts (338 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 615 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
