antithesis-workload

antithesis-workload is a skill for Claude Code from antithesishq/antithesis-skills. It costs 30 tokens per session (3,262 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for building Antithesis workloads: the commands and checks that exercise software in Antithesis, a controlled testing environment designed to uncover rare failures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or expand Antithesis test commands, connect expected behaviours to SDK assertions, and apply triage findings to the test workload.
Why use it?
It turns documented system properties into runnable tests and uses findings from failed runs to improve future coverage.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

antithesis-workload 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 3d 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.

Antithesis Workload

Skill version: 2026-09-08 2e4a837

Purpose and Goal

Implement or improve the Antithesis workload. Success means:

  • Properties from the antithesis-research skill are mapped to concrete assertions, using both the property catalog and per-property evidence files
  • Test commands exist under antithesis/test/ and exercise the right behaviors
  • The first real test templates are created after setup, or existing ones are expanded
  • Triage findings turn into workload or property updates instead of staying implicit

Use the antithesis-research skill first to build the property catalog. Use the antithesis-setup skill to scaffold the infrastructure. Use the antithesis-triage skill to review runs, then return here to improve the workload. If the user asks to submit or launch a run, use the antithesis-launch skill — do not run snouty launch directly.

Prerequisites

  • DO NOT PROCEED if the Antithesis scratchbook (usually at antithesis/scratchbook/) doesn't exist. Use the antithesis-research skill to create it.
  • DO NOT PROCEED if there is no docker-compose.yaml for Antithesis present. Use the antithesis-setup skill to create it.
  • DO NOT PROCEED if snouty is not installed. See https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antithesishq/snouty/refs/heads/main/README.md for installation options.

Scoping

Each invocation of the "Implement next property" workflow below focuses on one property to keep context manageable and quality high. (Post-triage iteration follows its own scoping based on triage findings.)

If the user asks for multiple properties, recommend doing one at a time — explain that implementation quality degrades as context accumulates, and each property's effort is unpredictable. Ask which one they'd like to start with. If they insist on multiple, proceed — but warn them first.

If the user specifies which property to work on, skip the full catalog scan — but still assess that property's status against its evidence file before proceeding. If it's already fully implemented, tell the user rather than redoing work.

antithesis-workload is a skill published in the GitHub repository antithesishq/antithesis-skills (267 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 3,262 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.
