vibe-adversarial-test-generation

vibe-adversarial-test-generation is a skill for Claude Code from ash1794/vibe-engineering. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,341 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for creating tests aimed at edge cases, failures, and stated requirements. It covers inputs such as boundary values, missing values, unusual text, malformed data, concurrency, and exhausted resources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after basic tests exist, before declaring coverage complete, or when preparing a security review.
Why use it?
It exposes failures that normal, successful-case tests may miss and connects tests to what the software is required to do.

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

vibe-adversarial-test-generation 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 8d 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.

vibe-adversarial-test-generation

Happy-path tests prove your code works. Adversarial tests prove it doesn't break. Spec-linked tests prove it does what it's supposed to.

When to Use This Skill

  • After writing happy-path tests for a feature
  • Before claiming test coverage is complete
  • When spec requirements lack corresponding tests
  • When preparing for a security review
  • When vibe-spec-sync or vibe-coverage-enforcer reports uncovered requirements

When NOT to Use This Skill

  • Before happy-path tests exist (write those first)
  • For throwaway/prototype code
  • When the function is trivially simple (e.g., getters/setters)

Modes

Mode 1: Adversarial (Edge Cases)

Generate tests that break assumptions across 6 categories.

1. Boundary Values
  • Zero, one, max, max+1 for all numeric inputs
  • Empty string, single char, max-length string
  • Empty array, single element, very large array
  • Exactly at threshold values
2. Nil/Null/Undefined
  • nil pointer as receiver
  • nil arguments to every parameter
  • nil nested fields in structs
  • Returning nil where non-nil expected
3. Type Edge Cases
  • Unicode: emoji, RTL text, zero-width chars, combining chars
  • Strings: newlines, tabs, null bytes, control characters
  • Numbers: NaN, Infinity, -0, very large, very small
  • Dates: leap year, DST transitions, timezone boundaries, epoch
4. Concurrency
  • Two goroutines/threads calling the same function
  • Read during write
  • Close during use
  • Cancel during operation
5. Resource Exhaustion
  • Very large inputs (10MB string, 1M element slice)
  • Disk full simulation
  • Network timeout simulation
  • Memory pressure
6. Malformed Input
  • Invalid JSON/YAML/XML
  • Truncated input (cut off mid-field)
  • Wrong types (string where int expected)
  • Extra fields, missing required fields
  • SQL injection patterns, XSS payloads (for external inputs)

Mode 2: Spec-Driven (Requirement Coverage)

Generate tests that trace back to specific spec requirements.

  1. Read the spec — Find the specification document for the feature under test

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.
