In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify interface changes, document test steps and assertions, and attach the results to a code review or tracker issue.
Why use it?
It replaces written claims about a user interface working with a video showing the tested behavior and its outcome.

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

evidence-driven-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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Evidence-Driven Testing

Record annotated screen-recording proof of UI behavior, then attach it to the PR and tracker issue.

Inputs

  • Test targets (required): The behaviors/flows to verify, phrased as testable statements.
  • PR / issue (optional): Where to post the evidence. If omitted, deliver to the requester only.

Instructions

1. Prepare the screen

  • Maximize the browser/app window; close popups, notifications, and extra panels.
  • Navigate to the starting state (logged in, correct page) BEFORE recording, unless setup itself is under test.

2. Start recording

  • Begin the screen recording before the first meaningful action.
  • Add a setup annotation describing the starting context, e.g. "Logged in, navigating to connectors page".

3. Annotate as you test

  • At each named test's start, add a test_start annotation in Jest style: It should execute the tool directly when permission is 'always'.
  • After each check, add an assertion annotation with result passed, failed, or untested.
  • Rules for assertions:
    • One assertion per meaningful state change — consolidate, don't annotate per UI label.
    • Use "Precondition: ..." assertions to establish starting state.
    • Keep under ~80 characters, high-signal.
    • If a test cannot run (missing prerequisite, expired auth window), mark it untested with the reason — never skip silently.

4. Stop and review

  • Stop recording after the final assertion.
  • Confirm the recording captured the key moments before sharing.

5. Post the evidence

  • Write a short report: what was tested, environment + exact commit, pass/fail per test, caveats.
  • Post the video + summary as a PR comment (embed in the PR description if it's your PR).
  • Attach the same video to the tracker issue (Linear/Jira) with a one-line result.
  • Send the report + recording to the requester.

Guardrails

  • Never record a half-covered or tiled window — maximize first.
  • When verifying a fix, show or reference the old failure alongside the new success.
  • Always state the exact commit/branch/deployment tested against.

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.
