add-test

add-test is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cyanheads/obsidian-mcp-server. It costs 41 tokens per session (3,571 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A test-file scaffold for an existing tool, resource, or service in a TypeScript project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add tests with Vitest, follow the repository’s test layout, and verify the tests and project checks.
Why use it?
It gives developers a consistent starting point for checking normal results, errors, and edge cases when code has no matching tests.

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

add-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 10d 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 — 318 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Context

Tests use Vitest and createMockContext from @cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/testing. If the repo already has tests, match the existing layout. If the repo has no existing tests, create a root tests/ directory that mirrors the src/ structure (e.g. tests/mcp-server/tools/definitions/echo.tool.test.ts for src/mcp-server/tools/definitions/echo.tool.ts).

For the full createMockContext API and testing patterns, read:

skills/api-testing/SKILL.md

Steps

  1. Identify the target — which tool, resource, or service needs tests
  2. Read the source file — understand the handler's logic, input/output schemas, error paths, and which ctx features it uses
  3. Create the test file in the repo's existing test layout — search for existing *.test.ts files to confirm whether tests are colocated with source or under a root tests/ directory
  4. Write test cases covering happy path, error paths, and edge cases
  5. Run bun run test to verify
  6. Run bun run devcheck to verify lint, types, and MCP definitions

Determining What to Test

Read the handler and identify:

Aspect Test Strategy
Happy path Valid input → expected output. Include at least one.
Input variations Optional fields omitted, defaults applied, boundary values
Error paths Invalid state, missing resources, service failures → correct error thrown
ctx.state usage Available on any mock context (tenant 'default' unless { tenantId } says otherwise). It runs the production storage path, so use storage-legal keys (cache/v1/abc, never cache:v1:abc) and assert TTL expiry with fake timers.
ctx.requestInput / ctx.inputs Two rounds. First round: assert the handler throws the input-required signal (.rejects.toSatisfy(isInputRequiredSignal)), or catch it and assert on error.result.inputRequests. Second round: seed createMockContext({ inputResponses }) and assert the handler completes. Cover the decline/cancel branch too.
ctx.signal Pass createMockContext({ signal: controller.signal }) and assert a long loop stops early rather than running to completion.
ctx.fail (typed contract) Definitions with errors[] need fail attached to the mock ctx — createMockContext({ errors: myTool.errors }) does it for you. Assert on data.reason (stable per-contract entry), not just code.
format function Test separately if defined — it's pure, no ctx needed. Verify it renders the IDs and fields the model needs, not just a count or title. For projection-style tools, test non-default field selections.
Sparse upstream payloads For third-party API integrations, build a fixture with omitted fields. Assert normalized output still validates and format() preserves unknown values instead of inventing facts.
Form-client payloads If handler has optional fields: test with empty-string inner values (form clients send "" instead of undefined). Assert handler doesn't break or produce invalid output.
Auth scopes Not tested at handler level (framework enforces) — skip

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.
