atmos: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/regression-test/SKILL.md

regression-test is a skill for Claude Code from cloudposse/atmos. It costs 78 tokens per session (2,057 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An investigation tool that compares two Atmos software revisions to find upgrade regressions. A regression is a behavior that worked before but becomes worse or breaks after a change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare a release with the main branch, inspect changed workflows and side effects, and assess whether existing users can upgrade safely.
Why use it?
It separates new upgrade-related problems from bugs that already existed and checks more than whether today's unit tests pass.

This is cloudposse/atmos's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on atmos 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 atmos configures →

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

regression-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 2d 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.

Regression Test

Answer: What happens differently to an existing user who upgrades without changing their project?

Investigate and report. Do not fix product code, implement edition transitions, regenerate goldens, publish findings, or create issues as part of this skill. The number of bugs found is not a success metric. Unchanged bugs do not count as new regressions, but a worsening of an existing bug can. New functionality matters here when it affects existing workflows.

Use the hypothesis-driven, real-execution discipline of field-test, with the comparative evidence and edition analysis below. Passing today's unit tests alone does not establish upgrade compatibility. Under plan mode, research and specify the experiments; wait for execution mode before writing fixtures or executing the investigation.

1. Freeze the comparison

Interpret supplied baseline, candidate, and subsystem arguments. Otherwise:

  • Resolve the latest published, non-draft, non-prerelease release through GitHub release metadata (gh api repos/cloudposse/atmos/releases/latest). A newer RC tag is not the default.
  • Resolve remote main, fetching missing/stale refs when necessary. Pin both endpoints to commit SHAs; record the release tag, publication time, resolution time, and candidate SHA. Never substitute the current feature branch or include its uncommitted code in the candidate.
  • Verify refs and ancestry. Use the endpoint diff (git diff <baseline-sha> <candidate-sha>), not a merge-base diff that silently changes the baseline. If refs cannot be obtained, report the unavailable comparison rather than guessing a different release.
  • Preserve the user's checkout and changes. Build isolated sources under a unique .context/regression-test/<run>/ directory; record source, toolchain, build settings, binary hashes, and harness revision. Distinguish locally rebuilt releases from published binaries. If both endpoints are identical, report that there is no revision delta to investigate.

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.
