regression-test-gen

regression-test-gen is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Eliyce/paqad-ai. It costs 13 tokens per session (480 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A test-planning aid that recommends regression checks for behavior changed by a bug fix, refactor, or migration. Regression checks are tests or reviews that make sure a fixed behavior does not break again.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps organize recommendations for unit, integration, end-to-end, and manual checks using existing tests, fixtures, and patterns.
Why use it?
It keeps verification focused on the changed behavior and chooses the narrowest useful test layer instead of adding unrelated coverage.

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

regression-test-gen 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.

What it actually says

What It Does

Generates regression recommendations that stay tightly scoped to changed behavior and are grouped by test layer so follow-up verification work is deliberate and efficient.

Use This When

Use this after a bug fix, refactor, or migration once the changed behavior is understood and you need to decide what regression coverage should prove it stays fixed.

Inputs

  • Read the changed behavior, existing tests, and claimed verification scope first.
  • Read the stack-specific testing guide that matches the project.
  • Read references/regression-layer-map.md before proposing new coverage.

Procedure

  1. List the concrete behaviors changed by the request and ignore unrelated nearby surfaces.
  2. Map each changed behavior to the narrowest meaningful test layer that can catch regression.
  3. Reuse existing suites, fixtures, and patterns before suggesting new harnesses.
  4. Group recommendations by unit, integration, end-to-end, or manual verification layer.
  5. Call out any changed behavior that should remain manual only and explain why.

Output Contract

  • Return sections named Unit, Integration, End-to-End, and Manual Verification in that order.
  • Under each section, list only the changed behaviors that belong to that layer.
  • If a layer has nothing to add, write <Layer>: none.

Escalate / Stop Conditions

  • Ask when the available test harness is unknown and would materially change the layer recommendation.
  • Warn when a requested regression check is broader than the changed behavior and likely to create noise.
  • Do not recommend generic full-suite reruns as a substitute for behavior-focused regression coverage.

Resources

  • references/regression-layer-map.md
  • runtime/capabilities/coding/stacks/laravel/references/tools/testing.md
  • agents/openai.yaml
Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
