manual-test

manual-test is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jstoup111/ai-conductor. It costs 35 tokens per session (2,894 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A manual end-to-end testing helper that checks a running application through its API or browser. End-to-end testing means checking the behavior as a real user or external caller would experience it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after finishing a change to test user interfaces and API endpoints, or to skip those checks when the work has no user-facing or HTTP behavior.
Why use it?
Automated tests can pass while the complete application still fails, so this checks the actual running system and reports observed results.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter, but also agents/openai.yaml present.

Good fit Use it after finishing a change to test user interfaces and API endpoints, or to skip those checks when the work has no user-facing or HTTP behavior.

SkillSpector: 3 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Supply Chain · line 92
    Remote code is downloaded and executed. This bypasses code review and could introduce malicious code.
    Fix: Avoid downloading and executing remote scripts. Use trusted packages from PyPI/npm. If remote fetch is required, verify checksums and use HTTPS.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 23
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
  • medium Data Exfiltration · line 92
    Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
    Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.

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

manual-test 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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 268 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Validates that implemented stories actually work by exercising the running application. Automated tests verify code correctness; manual testing verifies the system works end-to-end as a user would experience it.

Correctness gate: a "story X passes" result is a claim. Per the /verify-claims protocol, a pass is verified — you actually observed the response/behavior — never assumed from the code or inferred from a green unit test. If a story was not actually exercised, do not claim it passed; report it as untested rather than presenting an assumption as a result.

Runs at SHIP as a member of the concurrent validation group — fanned out alongside /prd-audit and /architecture-review --as-built in daemon/auto runs. In interactive runs it stays in the configured SHIP sequence, with its post-step checkpoint unchanged.

Practices

0. Feature Type Check

Before starting manual testing, check the stories in .docs/stories/ for this feature:

  • If no stories reference HTTP endpoints, API routes, or user-facing UI, report SKIP: "Manual test skipped — feature has no endpoint/UI criteria (services, jobs, mailers, CI)."
  • Suggest console-based verification instead: rails console smoke test or script execution.
  • Display the skip reason to the user, then record it via the CLI — this is the sole way the step is marked done; there is no hand-written marker path:
    ai-conductor manual-test-record --skip --reason "<reason>" --pipeline-dir /abs/path/to/.pipeline
    
    Use the absolute worktree .pipeline path supplied in the step's system prompt (see the "Daemon mode" note under Step 5 for why it must be absolute, not relative).

1. Detect Project Type

Indicator Testing Method
API-only (no views) curl commands against running server
Full-stack (views exist) Browser automation via Chrome MCP or Capybara

For a full-stack project, verify that the already-configured browser driver and browser runtime are available and can launch before exercising browser criteria. Do not install browser packages, binaries, or system dependencies during manual-test/SHIP.

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.

manual-test is a skill published in the GitHub repository jstoup111/ai-conductor (7 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 2,894 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
