testing

testing is a skill for Claude Code from garrytan/gbrain. It costs 63 tokens per session (2,080 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A validation and test-health framework for agent skills and their project. It checks skill files and runs tests in stages, including unit tests, evaluations, integration tests, and system-health checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking front matter, manifests, resolver entries, and test-suite health, including recurring daily reports.
Why use it?
It shows whether skills meet the project’s required structure and helps classify failures as regressions or other problems.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions AGENTS.md; built for gbrain.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is **Convention:** see [conventions/quality.md](../conventions/quality.md) for.

About the project

GBrain is a memory and retrieval layer for AI agents that searches, connects, and synthesizes information from stored sources. It is used to give coding agents and autonomous agents access to knowledge beyond their current code, including shared company information with access controls. The catalogue add-ons help agents operate GBrain and connect it to agent workflows.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

testing 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 2d 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.

Testing Skill — Validation + Daily Health & Regression Intelligence

Convention: see conventions/quality.md for the test-before-bulk pattern; this skill enforces it across the project's own test suite.

Two modes

This skill has two related but distinct modes:

  1. Skill conformance validation — gbrain's own conformance bar (the original 1.0 scope). Validates every skill has SKILL.md with frontmatter, every reference exists, manifest + resolver coverage round-trips.

  2. Project test-suite health (v0.25.1 extension) — runs the project's tiered test suite and produces a regression-classified report. Used by daily cron, container-restart bootstrap, and "how are the tests" prompts.

Pick the mode by trigger.

Mode 1: Skill conformance validation

Contract

This mode guarantees:

  • Every skill directory has a SKILL.md file
  • Every SKILL.md has valid YAML frontmatter (name, description)
  • Every SKILL.md has required sections per test/skills-conformance.test.ts
  • skills/manifest.json lists every skill directory
  • skills/RESOLVER.md references every skill in the manifest
  • openclaw.plugin.json skills[] round-trips with both
  • openclaw.plugin.json keeps OpenClaw install-required native plugin fields (id, object configSchema, and contracts.contextEngines when applicable)
  • No MECE violations (duplicate triggers across skills)

Phases

  1. Walk skills directory. List all subdirs containing SKILL.md.
  2. Validate frontmatter. Parse YAML, check required fields.
  3. Validate sections. Check for the required headings.
  4. Check manifest. Every skill dir must be in manifest.json.
  5. Check resolver. Every manifest skill must have a RESOLVER row.
  6. Check round-trip. RESOLVER trigger ↔ frontmatter triggers.
  7. Report results.

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.

testing is a skill published in the GitHub repository garrytan/gbrain (29,629 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 2,080 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
