plan-tests

plan-tests is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from igmarin/rails-agent-skills. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,276 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Rails testing guide for choosing the first specification for a change. TDD, or test-driven development, means using tests to define and check behaviour while building software.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps select request, model, service, job, system, engine, or bug-reproduction specs as the first failing test for a Rails change.
Why use it?
It prevents tests from being placed at the wrong boundary, such as testing a multi-step workflow only through a low-level model test.

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

plan-tests 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 9d 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.

Plan Tests

Quick Reference

Change type First spec Path Why
API contract, params, status code, JSON shape Request spec spec/requests/ Proves the real HTTP contract
Domain rule on a cohesive record or value object Model spec spec/models/ Fast feedback on domain behavior
Multi-step orchestration across collaborators Service spec spec/services/ Focuses on the workflow boundary
Enqueue/run/retry/discard behavior Job spec spec/jobs/ Captures async semantics directly
Critical Turbo/Stimulus or browser-visible flow System spec spec/system/ Use only when browser interaction is the real risk
Engine routing, generators, host integration Engine spec spec/requests/ or engine path Normal app specs miss engine wiring — see test-engine
Bug fix Reproduction spec Where the bug is observed Proves the fix and prevents regression

HARD-GATE

CHECKPOINT: Test Design Review

1. Present: Show the failing spec(s) written
2. Ask:
   - Does this test cover the right behavior?
   - Is the boundary correct (request vs service vs model)?
   - Are the most important edge cases represented?
   - Is the failure reason correct (feature missing, not setup error)?
3. Confirm: Only proceed to implementation once test design is approved.

Core Process

Start at the highest-value boundary that proves the behavior with the least unnecessary setup.

Steps

  1. Name the behavior: State the user-visible outcome or invariant to prove.
  2. Locate the boundary: Decide where the behavior is observed first — HTTP request, service entry point, model rule, job execution, engine integration, or external adapter. Use the Quick Reference table to map the change type to the right spec type.
  3. Write one failing example: Keep it minimal; one example is enough to open the gate. List additional cases as follow-up coverage.
  4. Suggest the path: Name the likely spec path using normal Rails conventions (e.g. spec/requests/..., spec/services/..., spec/jobs/..., spec/models/...).
  5. Run and validate: Confirm the failure is because the behavior is missing, not because the setup is broken.
  6. Hand off: Continue with the skill that fits the slice — write-tests for general spec writing, test-service for service-layer coverage, or test-engine for engine integration.

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.
