test-plan

test-plan is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Codagent-AI/agent-skills. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,208 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A testing plan for a specific software change. It maps important risks to automated checks, agent-run acceptance flows, and rare checks that only a person can perform.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after the requirements and design are approved to plan integration tests, end-to-end journeys, acceptance checks, and exceptional manual testing.
Why use it?
It prevents teams from missing important integration or end-to-end failures while avoiding a long list of low-value tests. It also separates implementation-level unit tests from broader release checks.

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

test-plan 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 4d 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 — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Test Plan

Create <change-dir>/test-plan.md after the proposal, specifications, and design are complete. The plan records important automated integration and end-to-end obligations, authoritative agent acceptance flows, and exceptional human-only checks. Specifications and implementation-time TDD remain the source of unit-test requirements.

Do not write the plan until the user approves the proposed coverage. Use codagent:ask-questions for consequential choices involving environments, external effects, cost, credentials, fidelity, substitutes, or genuinely human-only judgment.

Plan coverage by risk

Read the definition artifacts, relevant repository instructions, current test structure, and affected public surfaces. Trace critical journeys and boundaries, then choose the lowest test layer that can reliably detect each important failure:

  • Unit tests: the broad base for isolated logic, validation, transformations, decisions, and edge cases. Do not inventory these in the test plan.
  • Integration tests (INT-*): important boundaries where real components must work together, such as adapters, databases, filesystems, subprocesses, APIs, queues, or configuration-to-runtime wiring. Prefer controlled real dependencies or contract tests when they are more faithful than mocks.
  • Automated end-to-end tests (E2E-*): a small set of critical journeys through a public entry point with realistic isolated setup and stable observable assertions.

Avoid fixed ratios, test-count quotas, duplicate assertions across layers, and E2E coverage for behavior a cheaper layer proves adequately. It is valid to record that no new integration or E2E obligation is warranted and explain why.

For each automated obligation, capture what it covers, the boundary or journey exercised, setup, stable assertions, constraints, and where it runs.

Define acceptance flows

Create concise AT-* obligations for human-style verification through the delivered UI, mobile interface, TUI, CLI, API, library, or other public surface. Acceptance complements automated tests; it does not rerun suites, enumerate edge cases, or fuzz inputs.

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.

test-plan is a skill published in the GitHub repository Codagent-AI/agent-skills (30 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 1,208 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
