run-tests

run-tests is a skill for Claude Code from dylanroscover/Embody. It costs 18 tokens per session (953 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A testing helper for Embody, a TouchDesigner development project with many automated checks. Tests are small checks that verify whether code behaves as expected.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps run all tests, selected test suites, or individual tests covering areas such as externalisation, MCP tools, file formats, server jobs, and installation paths.
Why use it?
It provides ways to run the full test suite or a specific test and retrieve results without blocking TouchDesigner during long runs.

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

run-tests 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 1mo 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 — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Test Suite

Embody has 110+ test suites (2,500+ tests) under dev/embody/unit_tests/ covering externalization, MCP tools, TDXN format, the Envoy server/bridge/jobs, install/upgrade paths, and infrastructure. Destructive and agent tiers are segregated behind their own entry points.

The save gate (read this before a full run)

run_tests refuses a full run when the saved .toe is missing or more than an hour old, and reports the recovery point's age on every run. Call save_project first; pass confirm_saved=True only to deliberately accept losing everything since the last save. A single suite (suite_name=...) is never gated -- gating cheap frequent runs would just train callers to pass the override reflexively.

Never gate on "is there unsaved work". project.dirty does not exist on TD 2025 (a getattr guard silently read None and the check was off), and project.modified returns a LIST of operator paths -- not a bool -- that re-populates within seconds of a successful save. Both proxies have failed here, in opposite directions. The age of the .toe on disk is the only honest signal, which is what the gate and RunDestructiveTests both use.

Running Tests

From TouchDesigner:

op.unit_tests.RunTests()                          # All tests, one per frame
op.unit_tests.RunTests(suite_name='test_path_utils')  # Specific suite
op.unit_tests.RunTests(suite_name='test_path_utils', test_name='test_normalizePath_backslashes_converted')
op.unit_tests.RunTestsSync()                      # Synchronous (blocks TD)
results = op.unit_tests.GetResults()              # Get results dict

Via MCP -- use the run_tests tool, NOT RunTestsSync inside execute_python:

run_tests(background=True)           # all suites -- RECOMMENDED for full runs
get_job_status(job_id='job_...')     # poll; the finished record carries the summary
run_tests(suite_name='test_path_utils')   # small targeted runs may stay synchronous

For a FULL run always pass background=True: it returns a job id immediately and results park restart-proof in .embody/jobs/. The synchronous mode holds the HTTP call open for the whole run, and the Envoy watchdog suites restart the very server it waits on -- the call is severed ("Server force-restarted / shutting down during test run") even though the run finishes. (Pre-job-layer fallback, still valid: poll execute_python(code="result = op.unit_tests.GetResults()") until the totals stop moving.)

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.

run-tests is a skill published in the GitHub repository dylanroscover/Embody (208 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 953 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
