create-manual-test-instructions

create-manual-test-instructions is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from eai-org/agent-toolkit. It costs 30 tokens per session (403 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for turning a ticket or requirements document into step-by-step manual tests that a person unfamiliar with the change can follow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document what changed, how to reach the relevant screen, what was different before, and which behaviors a tester should verify.
Why use it?
It turns technical requirements into a consistent checklist, reducing guesswork during hands-on quality checks.

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

create-manual-test-instructions 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 5d 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

Create manual test instructions

Read the input ticket or requirements document (and, where needed for accurate navigation, the code it cites). Write the manual-test file in the same directory, naming it by replacing .REQUIREMENTS or .TICKET with .MANUAL-TEST (e.g. FOO.REQUIREMENTS.mdFOO.MANUAL-TEST.md); if the input follows neither convention, append .MANUAL-TEST before .md. If there is no file (pasted text), follow the project's/user's convention for where plans live (default: .agents/plans/), derive a kebab-case <slug> from the content, and write <slug>/<slug>.MANUAL-TEST.md there. Running forked, you can't ask mid-run: flag any guessed location or slug in the final message for the user to verify.

The file must be followable by someone unfamiliar with the ticket — short but complete. Four parts:

  1. What changed — 1–2 sentences: the feature and the user-visible difference.
  2. How to get there — concrete navigation to the affected area (entry point, page/screen name, any prerequisite state).
  3. Before vs after — how the area behaved before, how it should behave now.
  4. What to verify — checklist of behaviors to confirm, including edge cases (empty values, multiple items, boundaries) where relevant.

Do not modify any source files; the only file you write is the manual-test document.

When done, state the manual-test file's project-relative path.

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.
