test-backend

test-backend is a skill for Codex from GalaxyRuler/Galactic-skills. It costs 140 tokens per session (1,052 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A general process for testing back-end services and APIs, regardless of programming language or framework. An API is an interface that lets software communicate with another program.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test endpoints or whole services with unit, integration, contract, data, resilience, chaos, security, and load checks.
Why use it?
It helps find incorrect responses, broken contracts, data errors, security weaknesses, and failures under unusual conditions, even when some testing tools are unavailable.

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

test-backend 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 yesterday.

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 — 40 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/test-backend — portable back-end testing runner

Execute the Back-end Testing Playbook (playbook.md, same folder) against the current service and emit a findings report. Read it first. Works for any backend; a project-level test-backend overrides this when present.

Scope: an argument narrows to an endpoint/service (/test-backend /api/orders). No argument = the endpoint map from Phase 0.

Phase 0 — Detect the stack (do this first)

Read manifests + config and pick commands. Detect:

  • Language/framework: Node (Express/Fastify/Nest), Python (FastAPI/Django/Flask), Go, Java/Kotlin (Spring), Ruby (Rails), .NET, etc.
  • Test runner: vitest/jest · pytest · go test · JUnit · rspec · xunit.
  • DB/ORM + cache/queue: Prisma/TypeORM/Sequelize · SQLAlchemy/Django ORM · GORM · Hibernate; Redis/Postgres/Kafka.
  • Spec: OpenAPI/Swagger · GraphQL SDL · protobuf — the contract source of truth.
  • Containers/load/DAST: docker-compose / Testcontainers present? k6/JMeter/Gatling/Locust? OWASP ZAP? Map to: lint, unit, integration, "start test deps", seed, load. If a tool is absent, degrade that phase to a manual checklist + one-line setup note — never fail the run, never silently pass it. Read a project TESTING.md / docs/testing/* / the Project appendix in playbook.md and prefer its commands + auth model.

Runbook (phase-gated — see playbook.md for the why)

  1. Scope & map — endpoints × method × auth-context; deps; invariants; SLOs + critical journeys.
  2. Static base — type-check/lint; schema = contract source of truth.
  3. Unit — pure logic; independent golden master for critical math.
  4. Integration (widest) — real DB/cache via Testcontainers/compose; in-process route injection; happy/validation/not-found/auth boundary; DB effects, seed determinism, cache + fallback.
  5. Contract — request+response schema for every endpoint + every declared status code; spec-driven provider tests (Schemathesis/Dredd); consumer-driven (Pact) across services; breaking-change diff vs the committed spec.
  6. Data & invariants — golden-master parity; deterministic IDs; ETL/sync idempotency + partial-failure isolation; migration safety.
  7. Resilience & chaos — kill/slow/garble each dep; assert graceful degradation, error-shape, timeouts, retry/backoff, rate-limit; combine Load+Chaos where possible.
  8. Security — OWASP API Top 10 2023BOLA two-account test (A can't touch B's objects) + BOPLA/BFLA; injection (parameterized + schema, fuzz); SSRF on user-influenced fetches; resource caps + rate-limit (+ trustProxy); headers/CORS/no-leak; upstream-data sanitization. Optional ZAP DAST (passive first, non-prod, seed with the spec).
  9. Performance & SLO — encode SLOs as load-tool thresholds (p95/p99, error rate); ramp-up→steady→ramp-down on critical journeys; cache + pool behavior under load. If no load tool → emit scenario + threshold table.
  10. Reportdocs/testing/reports/<date>-backend.md (or ./backend-test-report-<date>.md); map security findings to OWASP API IDs; perf vs SLO; contract diffs explicit.

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.

test-backend is a skill published in the GitHub repository GalaxyRuler/Galactic-skills (5 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 140 tokens to every session and 1,052 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
