atmos-tests

atmos-tests is a skill for Claude Code from cloudposse/atmos. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,709 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A skill for writing Atmos tests that check deployed stacks and other integration behaviour. These tests can include smoke checks, HTTP assertions, scripts, dependencies, parallel checks, multiple cases, and post-deployment hooks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to author Atmos smoke tests, integration tests, post-deployment checks, and custom test commands around existing commands, workflows, hooks, and outputs.
Why use it?
It helps verify that deployed infrastructure works without inventing endpoints, stack names, or credentials.

About the project

Atmos is an infrastructure runtime that coordinates tools such as Terraform, OpenTofu, Kubernetes, Helm, Packer, Ansible, and containers through consistent commands and configuration. It is for teams running cloud infrastructure on laptops, in CI, or through AI agents across environments and regions. Its catalogue entries provide skills, agents, commands, and other add-ons for Atmos workflows.

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

atmos-tests 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 26d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 122 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Atmos Tests

Use type: test to run smoke tests that validate deployed stacks or other integration tests. It groups existing typed steps into a test report: passing logs stay hidden, failures reveal their buffered output, and independent checks continue by default.

Read patterns for complete custom-command, HTTP, parallel/dependency, matrix, script/interpreter, and post-apply hook examples. Use atmos-steps for shared step fields and the relevant surface skill: custom commands, workflows, or hooks.

Authoring Process

  1. Inspect the project's commands, workflows, hooks, and existing test scripts. Discover actual stack/component names and deployment outputs before choosing targets. Do not invent endpoints or hard-code credentials.
  2. Prefer a custom command for a directly invoked suite with its own arguments or flags. Use a workflow for an existing orchestration sequence, or a lifecycle hook to run checks after deployment. There is no built-in standalone atmos test command: defining a custom command named test creates that invocation.
  3. Choose the smallest step type that expresses each assertion. A command that merely prints a response is not an assertion; it must fail when expectations are unmet. Name cases descriptively and use title for readable display labels.
  4. Keep direct children sequential. Use a sibling parallel or matrix group when cases should run concurrently. Set a concurrency limit suitable for the service and isolate mutable fixtures for each concurrent case.
  5. Keep default failure-only output and continuation unless the test contract requires otherwise. Add bounded retries for eventual consistency; do not use retries to conceal a reproducible assertion failure.
  6. Verify a passing case and an intentionally failing case against local fixtures or an appropriate test environment. Check the exit status, failure details, continuation, and expanded leaf totals. Restore the intended expectations.

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.
