dev-testing

Testing guidance for a development project that uses AI DevKit documentation and lifecycle phases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write tests for normal cases, edge cases, and errors, update testing documentation, run coverage checks, and close gaps in test coverage.
Why use it?
It gives a clear process for adding tests and checking whether feature coverage is complete before claiming the work is verified.

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

dev-testing 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 yesterday.

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

Dev Testing

Run testing work for configured AI docs features. Before changing docs or code, propose the concrete plan for this phase and wait for user approval unless the user already approved the exact phase plan.

Phase Contract

  1. Run npx ai-devkit@latest lint before phase work.
  2. If working on a named feature, run npx ai-devkit@latest lint --feature <name>.
  3. Read the testing doc, requirements, design, implementation notes, and current diff before changes.
  4. Apply the verify skill before making coverage or test-pass claims.
  5. If parent dev-lifecycle established usable task tracing, emit testing phase, next-action, and evidence events per task.

Write Tests

Use for Phase 8.

  1. Run npx ai-devkit@latest lint --feature <name> and reference the testing doc path it validates. If manual path resolution is unavoidable, first resolve .ai-devkit.json paths.docs, falling back to docs/ai.
  2. Gather context: feature name, changes summary, environment, existing test suites, flaky tests to avoid.
  3. Analyze the testing template, success criteria, edge cases, available mocks, and fixtures.
  4. Add unit tests for happy paths, edge cases, and error handling for each module. Highlight missing branches.
  5. Add integration tests for critical cross-component flows, setup/teardown, and boundary/failure cases.
  6. Run coverage tooling, identify gaps, and suggest additional tests if below the target.
  7. If task tracing is available, record evidence for each fresh test/coverage command per task.
  8. Update the selected testing doc with test file links and results.

Next: dev-review. If tests reveal design flaws, return to dev-design.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

dev-testing is a skill published in the GitHub repository codeaholicguy/ai-devkit (1,601 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 424 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
