plugin-test

plugin-test is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from allenhutchison/obsidian-gemini. It costs 174 tokens per session (5,966 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A three-stage acceptance test for the Obsidian Gemini plugin, an add-on for the Obsidian note-taking app. It checks documented behavior through tests, the interface, and—only with permission—real Gemini API requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before a release, after a large refactor, or when checking newly added features. It covers unit tests, Obsidian interface and state checks, and authorized API-spending checks.
Why use it?
It catches regressions while controlling cost and side effects: the first stages spend no API money, and the final stage requires explicit approval.

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

plugin-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 — 353 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Plugin acceptance test (three passes, agent as judge)

This skill is the deterministic counterpart to a human pre-release run-through. It tests the plugin in three escalating passes — cheapest first, most expensive last — and the agent decides between each pass whether it makes sense to continue. The test list comes from the user-facing docs (so anything documented stays honest), with extra weight on functionality merged since the last release tag (so the most likely regressions get the most attention).

The skill is conservative on cost and side effects. Pass 1 spends nothing. Pass 2 takes screenshots and clicks through UI but never makes a Gemini API call. Pass 3 is the only pass that spends real API tokens, and it only runs after the agent has reported pass-2 results to the user and the user has explicitly said to proceed.

When to use this skill

  • The user is preparing a release and wants the plugin smoke-tested first
  • The user asks "act as a judge on the plugin" / "test what's new" / "verify before I tag"
  • A maintainer wants a regression sweep after a large refactor
  • Don't use this skill for normal development debugging — for that, use the obsidian-cli skill directly. This skill is heavyweight; reach for it when you need a top-to-bottom check.

Inputs

The user usually invokes this with no arguments. They may optionally specify:

  • A vault name to target (defaults to Test Vault — see vault guard below)
  • A focus area ("just test the scheduler", "skip pass 3") — if specified, narrow the relevant pass

Vault guard (mandatory preflight, before any other action)

This skill performs destructive actions: plugin reloads, opening modals, planting fake state, taking screenshots, and (in Pass 3) generating files via the API. Running it against the wrong vault — particularly the user's production vault — is unacceptable.

The Obsidian CLI has a critical footgun: vault=<name> is effectively decorative — empirically it does not route by name. The CLI always targets the focused Obsidian window regardless of what's passed. So you cannot redirect the skill to a non-focused vault by passing a flag; the user has to make the test vault the active window themselves. And because focus can drift (a click into another window) or the user may Cmd-Tab without realizing it, the safest posture is: only the test vault should be open at all for the duration of the run.

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.
