manual-testing

manual-testing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from j-jayes/agents-md. It costs 58 tokens per session (733 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A hands-on testing guide that checks a real application through tools such as command-line code, HTTP requests, a browser, and screenshots.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before saying a feature works, when asked to test manually, or when you need to show the result.
Why use it?
It provides direct evidence that a change works instead of relying only on code inspection or automated assumptions.

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

manual-testing scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

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.
