author-test

author-test is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Azure/azure-sdk-for-net. It costs 68 tokens per session (324 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A test-writing helper for C# Azure SDK samples. It uses a sample from one of three specified packages to create a short automated test in the matching test file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create an asynchronous C# test from a sample, place it in the appropriate test file, and build the SDK repository to find and fix errors.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of turning a sample into a representative test and checking whether the project still builds.

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

author-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 12d 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.

What it actually says

Basic information.

This skill requires C# repository root (<cs_root>), package name (<package_name>), and sample file name as an input (<sample_name>). The samples are located in the <cs_root>/sdk/ai/<package_name>/tests/Samples directory, the test files are in <cs_root>/sdk/ai/<package_name>/tests. The tests are organized according to scenarios tested. The files, having suffix Base contains the required utility functions needed for testing.

Task

Look at the sample and generate the test code in the appropriate test file. The test must have the next structure:

[RecordedTest]
// Test cases if any [TestCase(true)]
public async Task TestFeatureName(){
    var result = await CallFeatureAsync();
    Assert.That(result.Value, Is.Equal.To("Expected feature value"))
}

Always use the async methods (with Async suffix) if possible. Keep the test short and representative. To make sure that the test is running as expected, build the project.

cd <cs_root>
dotnet build
cd <cs_root>
dotnet build

If the project does not build, iterate on the error.

Changes

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.
