comet-boundary: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/testing-comet-boundary/SKILL.md

testing-comet-boundary is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from arsenyspb/comet-boundary. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,249 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An end-to-end test procedure for Comet Boundary, an access-control system that brokers SSH connections to servers. It checks the complete path from user login to server access.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start the required Docker services and verify login, user separation, and SSH access to multiple targets.
Why use it?
It helps find broken credential handling, incorrect role-based access control, or unhealthy services before they affect users.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is arsenyspb/comet-boundary's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on comet-boundary itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything comet-boundary configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash scripts/01_setup-boundary.sh.

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

testing-comet-boundary scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Testing Comet Boundary

Prerequisites

  • Docker and Docker Compose v2 must be available
  • The Makefile uses docker-compose (hyphenated) but newer systems only have docker compose (space). If make replay fails with "No such file or directory", use docker compose commands directly.

Environment Setup

The project uses Docker Compose with these services:

  • postgres — Boundary database
  • openldap — LDAP directory for alice/bob users
  • setup — Database initialization (runs once)
  • controller — Boundary controller (port 9200)
  • worker — Boundary worker (port 9202)
  • ssh-target-1, ssh-target-2 — SSH targets
  • backend — Go BFF (port 8080 internal)
  • frontend — React/Vite app (port 5173)

Startup Sequence (if make replay doesn't work)

cd /path/to/comet-boundary
docker compose down -v
rm -f .env client/.env.local
docker compose up -d postgres openldap setup
docker wait comet-boundary-setup-1
docker compose up -d controller worker ssh-target-1 ssh-target-2
# Wait for controller to be healthy
bash scripts/01_setup-boundary.sh
docker compose up -d --build backend frontend

Verify All Services Healthy

docker compose ps  # All should show "healthy" or "Up"

Test Credentials

  • Boundary Admin: username admin, password from setup script output (look for "Discovered Admin Password: ...")
  • LDAP Users: alice / changeme (Team A), bob / changeme (Team B)
  • SSH credential (brokered): username boundary-user, password password — stored in Boundary's Static Credential Store

Key Test Scenarios

1. Credential Store Verification (Boundary Admin UI, port 9200)

  1. Log in as admin at http://localhost:9200
  2. Navigate: Generated org scope → Generated project scope → Credential Stores
  3. Verify "SSH Credential Store" exists (type: Static)
  4. Click into it → Credentials tab → verify "SSH Target Credential" exists (type: Username & Password)
  5. Navigate to Targets → "A Team Host" → Brokered Credentials tab → verify credential is linked
  6. Same for "B Team Host"

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.
