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

backend-test-plan 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.

What it actually says

Backend Test Plan

Core Workflow

  1. Identify changed behavior, risk areas, data stores, external integrations, auth boundaries, and production impact.
  2. Define coverage across unit, integration, contract, database/migration, authorization, error, performance, and regression tests.
  3. Specify fixtures, test data, mocks/fakes, environments, and cleanup needs.
  4. Tie each test to an acceptance criterion or failure mode.
  5. Include non-happy paths: denied access, invalid input, dependency failure, concurrency, retries, and rollback.
  6. Recommend what must pass before merge, release, or rollback.

Safety Rules

  • Do not claim tests passed unless output is available.
  • Do not use real production data or credentials in test plans.
  • Escalate testing gaps for auth, payments, migrations, customer data, background jobs, and public APIs.

Deliverable Shape

For backend test plans, provide:

  • Change and risk summary
  • Test matrix
  • Fixtures and environments
  • Contract and integration coverage
  • Data/migration coverage
  • Auth and security coverage
  • Performance or load checks when relevant
  • Merge/release gates

References

  • Read references/backend-test-plan-checklist.md when creating or reviewing backend test coverage.

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
