user-testing

A testing guide for AudioBash, an Electron desktop app for terminal use and audio recording. It checks launching, single-instance behavior, tabs, large pastes, and recovery after a forced quit.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after significant AudioBash changes to test fresh launches, prevent duplicate instances, create tabs, handle large pasted text, and recover after a crash or forced exit.
Why use it?
It helps reveal problems that ordinary code checks may miss when users interact with the desktop app, terminal, and recording features.

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

user-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.

AudioBash End-User Testing Skill

Testing AudioBash from the perspective of non-technical users, with focus on Electron, terminal emulation, and audio recording edge cases.


Quick Test Suite

Run these tests after any significant change:

# 1. Launch fresh build
pkill AudioBash 2>/dev/null
rm -f ~/Library/Application\ Support/audiobash/Singleton*
open "dist/mac-arm64/AudioBash.app"
sleep 4
pgrep AudioBash && echo "✅ Launch OK"

# 2. Multi-instance prevention
open "dist/mac-arm64/AudioBash.app"
open "dist/mac-arm64/AudioBash.app"
sleep 2
[ $(pgrep AudioBash | wc -l) -eq 5 ] && echo "✅ Single instance OK"

# 3. Tab creation
osascript -e 'tell application "AudioBash" to activate'
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "t" using command down'
sleep 1
[ $(pgrep zsh | wc -l) -ge 2 ] && echo "✅ Tab creation OK"

# 4. Large paste
python3 -c "print('A' * 50000)" | pbcopy
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "v" using command down'
sleep 2
pgrep AudioBash && echo "✅ Large paste OK"

# 5. Force quit recovery
pkill -9 AudioBash
sleep 1
open "dist/mac-arm64/AudioBash.app"
sleep 4
pgrep AudioBash && echo "✅ Force quit recovery OK"

# Cleanup
pkill AudioBash 2>/dev/null
echo "Tests complete"

# This is the #1 cause of launch failures
ls -la dist/mac-arm64/AudioBash.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/node-pty/prebuilds/darwin-arm64/spawn-helper
# Must show: -rwxr-xr-x (755)

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.

user-testing is a skill published in the GitHub repository jamditis/audiobash (5 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,138 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
