engram-testing-coverage

A testing and code-coverage workflow for Engram packages. TDD, or test-driven development, means writing a failing test before writing the code that should make it pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding behavior, fixing bugs, or restructuring code, then run the Go tests and report coverage.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of behavior changes, bug fixes, and refactoring breaking existing code. It also ensures that normal cases, errors, and unusual inputs are tested.

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

engram-testing-coverage 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.

What it actually says

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Adding new behavior
  • Fixing a bug
  • Refactoring logic with branch complexity

TDD Loop

  1. Write a failing test for the target behavior.
  2. Implement the smallest code to pass.
  3. Refactor while keeping tests green.
  4. Add edge/error-path tests before closing.

Coverage Rules

  • Cover happy path + error paths + edge cases.
  • Prefer deterministic tests over flaky integration paths.
  • Add seams only when branches are impossible to trigger naturally.
  • Keep runtime behavior unchanged when adding seams.

Validation Commands

Run:

go test ./...
go test -cover ./...

Report package coverage and total coverage in the PR.

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.

engram-testing-coverage is a skill published in the GitHub repository Gentleman-Programming/engram (6,266 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 211 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
