pygraphistry: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/test-amplification/SKILL.md

test-amplification is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from graphistry/pygraphistry. It costs 56 tokens per session (2,852 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A structured method for expanding tests around bugs in pygraphistry, a Python library for graph data and visualisation. It turns past and newly found failures into categories, test tasks, implementations, and validation records.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps explore user workflows, investigate the underlying causes of bugs, plan regression tests, implement them, and record evidence that the feature still works.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of repeatedly fixing the same kinds of bugs or adding tests at random. The workflow connects real user problems to specific tests and safety checks.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions subagents; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is graphistry/pygraphistry's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on pygraphistry itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything pygraphistry configures →

About the project

PyGraphistry is a Python library for loading, preparing, analyzing, and exploring large graphs through Graphistry’s GPU-accelerated visual graph analyzer. Data scientists and developers use it with dataframes, graph databases, and tools such as Pandas, Spark, RAPIDS, and Apache Arrow. Catalogue add-ons support workflows around using the library.

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-amplification 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 2mo 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.

Test Amplification Skill

When to Use

  • A pygraphistry feature area is stable enough to use but still yields recurring bugs.
  • You need to grow tests from evidence, not random additions.
  • You want reusable patterns that apply beyond one subsystem (for example, beyond GFQL).

Goal

Turn historical and newly found bugs into:

  1. A reusable bug taxonomy.
  2. Prioritized concrete test tasks.
  3. Implemented tests (plus minimal fixes when needed).
  4. Clear validation evidence and checkpoint commits.

Required Inputs

  • Current branch context.
  • Target feature area(s).
  • Existing test locations for those areas.
  • Safety constraints (for example: pure vectorized path, pandas+cudf compatibility, remote protocol constraints).

Multi-Round Artifact Rules (Required)

This workflow is usually iterative. Keep artifacts cleanly separated by round, plus cumulative rollups.

Round IDs

  • Use zero-padded round IDs: round-001, round-002, ...
  • Keep a stable task root:
    • plans/<task>/

Round-Scoped Artifacts

Per round, write under:

  • plans/<task>/rounds/round-00N/

Recommended files:

  • user_testing_playbook.md
  • feature-risk-analysis.md
  • discovery-matrix.md
  • bug-retro-5whys.md
  • taxonomy-and-task-plan.md
  • execution-report.md
  • metrics.md

Cumulative Artifacts

Maintain cumulative rollups under:

  • plans/<task>/cumulative/

Recommended files:

  • feature-risk-analysis-cumulative.md
  • bug-retro-5whys-cumulative.md
  • taxonomy-cumulative.md
  • round-metrics-ledger.md
  • continue-or-halt-log.md

Naming Conventions

  • Prefer deterministic names inside round folders (no random suffixes).
  • If date is needed, use ISO format: YYYY-MM-DD.
  • Every round must update:
    1. one round-scoped metrics.md
    2. cumulative round-metrics-ledger.md
    3. cumulative continue-or-halt-log.md

If parallel subagents are available (for example, Claude workers), use them with fixed artifact locations so work is crash-resumable.

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-amplification is a skill published in the GitHub repository graphistry/pygraphistry (2,576 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 2,852 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
