test

test is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jamesgray-ai/handsonai-plugins. It costs 80 tokens per session (2,751 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided method for testing AI workflow building blocks and complete workflows against real situations. It scores the results and checks whether the workflow is ready to use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running test scenarios, evaluating output quality, diagnosing workflow problems, and deciding whether to deploy.
Why use it?
It helps find weak steps and trace poor results back to the part of the workflow that needs changing.

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 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 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.

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 Workflow

Structured testing and evaluation of AI workflow artifacts. Walk the user through running their workflow against real scenarios, scoring output quality, diagnosing issues back to specific building blocks, and deciding whether the workflow is ready for deployment.

Workflow

1. Load context

Registry entry: the workflow's registry entry is its Workflow concept node in the workspace's registry/ bundle — see indexing-registry/references/registry-bundle.md (in this plugin) for resolution, write rules, and your fields. If the workspace has no registry/SCHEMA.md, offer the scaffolding-registry skill first (it also migrates legacy workflow.yaml workspaces); do not write registry entries until the bundle exists.

Read the workflow's Workflow node (registry/workflows/<slug>.md) to locate the artifacts, then read the Design Spec and the Workflow Requirements it references (the requirements own the Acceptance Criteria, Example Scenarios, and Golden Examples). Resume orientation: if the user arrived via "continue my workflow" or with no stated workflow, check registry/workflows/ for existing Workflow nodes (if several, list them) and infer progress from which artifacts each node's # Artifacts section already links — "You've completed through Step [N] ([name]) — next is Step [N+1]" — and if Test isn't the next step, say so and route to the right skill. If no Workflow node exists yet but legacy flat files (outputs/[name]-*.md) do, use those paths. Verify both files exist before proceeding — if either is missing, stop and say which.

From these, identify:

  • The test scenarios (E1, E2, …) and what to look for in each output
  • The scoring dimensions from the Acceptance Criteria
  • Any Golden Examples — known-good outputs (or excerpts) attached to scenarios. These are the strongest evaluation tool you have: scoring becomes "compare against this reference" instead of "how does it feel?"

Introduce the vocabulary in plain language the first time you use it (most users are non-technical): a scenario (E1, E2…) is one realistic test input you'll run the workflow on; the eval suite is simply running the workflow across all those scenarios; a baseline is the saved scorecard from this round that you'll compare against later to catch quality slipping. Define each term in a sentence before using it — don't assume the user knows it.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository jamesgray-ai/handsonai-plugins (8 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 2,751 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
