coverage-delta

coverage-delta is a skill for Claude Code from bdfinst/agentic-dev-team. It costs 86 tokens per session (3,731 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A testing report that compares the current test coverage with a saved baseline. Test coverage measures how much of the code's lines and decision paths are exercised by tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in test-improvement workflows to measure changes in line and branch coverage and record the result against an issue or local project file.
Why use it?
It shows whether newly added tests are increasing coverage after each development story.

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

coverage-delta 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 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 182 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Coverage Delta

Role: worker. Reports coverage change vs. the captured baseline. One snapshot per Story so the operator can see whether each add actually moved the needle. Callers with a phase model (such as /test-improve, where the baseline lands in Phase 2 and per-Story deltas fire in Phase 5) label snapshots by phase; phase-less workflows omit that label.

You have been invoked with the /coverage-delta command.

Parse Arguments

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

  • Positional: <repo-path>.
  • --parent <issue-url> — parent issue URL (or empty for local-files).
  • --repo-slug <slug> — .claude/memory/<workflow>/ namespace.
  • --workflow <name> — the workflow namespace under .claude/memory/. Defaults to test-improve. Orchestrators pass their own namespace (e.g. /test-improve passes test-improve for its Phase-5 per-Story deltas).
  • --story <id-or-path> — optional Story this delta is attributed to. Used as the snapshot label.
  • --story-files <glob-or-comma-list> — production-code files the Story touched (typically from /build's commit diff, tests filtered out). When both --story AND a non-empty --story-files are present, Step 2b runs scoped mutation; otherwise it is a no-op so /quality-targets-converge can keep calling this worker without --story-files exactly as before.

Steps

1. Load the baseline

Read .dev-team-reports/<workflow>/<slug>/data/baseline-coverage.json. If missing, tell the operator the baseline has not been captured (/coverage-baseline must run first; for /test-improve that is Phase 2) and stop.

2. Re-run coverage

Use the same coverage tool /coverage-baseline recorded — DO NOT switch tools mid-workflow, or the delta is meaningless. This governs the tool only, never the project/package list: for a multi-project repo (Step 2a below), the set of included projects/packages is re-derived from fresh discovery on every call, never reused from a prior run — a frozen, never-revisited list is exactly what caused issue #1759's ~30x underreported delta.

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.

coverage-delta is a skill published in the GitHub repository bdfinst/agentic-dev-team (295 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 86 tokens to every session and 3,731 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
