write-bats-test

A helper for adding Bats tests to shell scripts. Bats is a testing framework for Bash programs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing setup.sh or context.sh to add tests, run the existing test suite, and keep tests isolated from the developer's home folder.
Why use it?
It helps confirm that changes to setup or context scripts still produce the expected files, JSON, and exit codes.

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

write-bats-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.

What it actually says

Write Bats Test

Goal

Cover new or changed shell behavior with a bats-core test that matches the existing convention in tests/.

When to use

When setup.sh or skills/deepworkplan/shared/context.sh gains or changes behavior (a new flag, a new detection branch, a new output field).

Steps

  1. Read the existing tests to match style and helpers: tests/setup-sh.bats, tests/context-sh.bats.
  2. Add @test cases for the new behavior. Use a throwaway HOME/temp dir for any filesystem effect so the suite never touches the developer's ~/.claude.
  3. Keep assertions on observable contract: emitted JSON fields from context.sh, created symlink names from setup.sh, exit codes.
  4. Run bats tests/ and iterate until green.

Validation

bats tests/ passes, including the new cases, and the suite leaves no artifacts outside its temp dirs.

Notes

Tests must run on bash 3.2. Prefer testing the public contract (flags, symlink names, JSON keys) over internal implementation so refactors don't churn the suite.

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.
