smoke-test

smoke-test is a skill for Claude Code from dorayo/orchestrix-skills. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,012 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to smoke testing a real application from the outside through a browser, HTTP request, or command line. Unlike unit tests, which check individual functions, a smoke test checks the user-facing product and its main flows.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for launching an app or service, checking that it becomes ready, exercising each listed user flow, capturing evidence, reporting passed, failed, or untested results, and cleaning up the test process.
Why use it?
It verifies that the launched application actually works for users, instead of assuming that passing unit tests proves the whole product works.

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

smoke-test scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 7d 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.

Smoke Test (Prove It Works From the Outside)

Unit tests prove functions; a smoke test proves the PRODUCT. Launch the real app and walk the real flows the user will walk.

Core principle: A flow is "passed" only when you drove it yourself and captured the evidence. "The tests are green so it probably works" is a claim, not a smoke test.

The Iron Law

UNTESTED IS NOT PASSED. Every flow ends in exactly one of:
passed (with evidence) | failed (with evidence) | untested (with the reason)

Process

  1. Discover how to run it. registry/app first; else the project's manifest (package.json scripts, Makefile, README). If the launch method is genuinely undocumented and unguessable, report untested: cannot launch — do not invent a server.
  2. Launch in the background, capture logs. Redirect stdout/stderr to .orchestrate/verify/smoke-server.log. Record the PID. Pick a free port if configurable (avoid colliding with anything already running).
  3. Wait for readiness, bounded. Poll the health endpoint / port / ready line for up to ~60s. Not ready → flow verdicts are failed: app did not start, attach the server log, skip to cleanup.
  4. Exercise EVERY listed flow with the best driver available, in order of fidelity:
    • Browser automation (a Playwright/Chrome MCP tool, if available in this session) — for UI flows: navigate, interact, assert on rendered state, screenshot.
    • HTTP (curl) — assert status code AND response content (a 200 serving an error page is a fail; check for a string the flow implies).
    • CLI — invoke the command, assert exit code and output. Use the highest-fidelity driver the flow needs: an interactive UI flow "verified" by curling / is untested, not passed.
  5. Capture evidence per flow to .orchestrate/verify/smoke-<flow-slug>.log (the exact command/steps + relevant output tail, or the screenshot path).
  6. ALWAYS clean up — kill the processes you started (and only those), remove temp state you created. Cleanup runs even when flows fail.
