unit-test-generation

unit-test-generation is a skill for Codex from jeremylongworth-source/AgentSkills. It costs 51 tokens per session (293 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A plan for small, focused unit tests that check individual functions, modules, components, or services. Unit tests use controlled inputs and expected results to catch mistakes in one part of a program.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or add test cases, fixtures, minimal mocks, setup and cleanup, clear assertions, and the command needed to run the tests.
Why use it?
It helps protect changed logic with repeatable checks for normal cases, edge cases, invalid inputs, errors, and past bugs. It also shows when broader integration or end-to-end tests may still be needed.

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

unit-test-generation 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 8d 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

Unit Test Generation

Core Workflow

  1. Identify the unit under test, behavior changed, dependencies, inputs, outputs, and edge cases.
  2. Read existing tests and local test patterns before proposing new tests.
  3. Define test cases for normal behavior, boundaries, invalid inputs, errors, and regressions.
  4. Prefer deterministic tests with minimal mocking and clear assertions.
  5. Include fixture needs, setup/teardown, and test command.
  6. State what remains untested and whether integration or E2E coverage is needed.

Safety Rules

  • Do not claim tests pass without command output.
  • Do not add brittle tests that assert implementation details unless that is the contract.
  • Do not use production data, real credentials, or live external services.

Deliverable Shape

For unit test work, provide:

  • Unit and behavior under test
  • Test case list
  • Fixtures and mocks
  • Edge and regression cases
  • Test file or command
  • Coverage gaps
  • Validation notes

References

  • Read references/unit-test-generation-checklist.md when planning or adding unit tests.

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.
