gen-tests

A skill that creates tests for OhMyCode modules or source files using the project's conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with a module or file path to generate tests, then run those tests to check whether they pass.
Why use it?
It reduces the effort of deciding what tests to write and where they belong after changing code.

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

gen-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 2d 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.

Generate Tests for OhMyCode

Generate project-convention-compliant tests for a given module or file.

This skill is part of the OhMyCode development closed-loop:

编码 ──→ /gen-tests ──→ /run-tests ──→ 分析失败 ──→ 修代码 ──╮
 ↑                                                            │
 ╰────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯

After generating tests, always proceed to /run-tests to verify them.

When to Use

  • User says "gen tests", "write tests", "add tests for …"
  • User provides a module name or file path (e.g., ohmycode/tools/bash.py, core/loop)
  • As part of the development loop: just finished writing/modifying source code and need tests

Input

$ARGUMENTS — module name or file path to test (e.g., ohmycode/tools/bash.py, core/loop, providers/anthropic).

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, ask the user which module to generate tests for.

Step 1 — Resolve Target

Map the argument to a source file path:

Argument form Resolved source path
ohmycode/tools/bash.py use as-is
tools/bash ohmycode/tools/bash.py
core/loop ohmycode/core/loop.py
providers/openai ohmycode/providers/openai.py
config ohmycode/config/config.py

Read the resolved source file. Identify:

  • Public classes / functions (skip _private unless critical)
  • Async vs sync interfaces
  • External dependencies (API calls, file I/O, subprocesses)
  • Branch paths (if/else, error returns, edge cases)

Step 2 — Read Existing Test Patterns

  1. Read tests/conftest.py to learn available fixtures:

    • MockProvider — fake LLM that yields configurable responses, use for anything touching providers
    • mock_provider — fixture returning a default MockProvider()
    • mock_config — minimal config dict
    • tmp_dir — alias for tmp_path, use for file-based tests
  2. Check for existing test file at the mirror path (see Step 4 path rule). If it exists, read it to understand current coverage and style — extend rather than overwrite.

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.

gen-tests is a skill published in the GitHub repository AlphaLab-USTC/OhMyCode (131 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 1,596 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 2026-08-30.
