test-manual

test-manual is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from knowhowlab/agent-testkit. It costs 89 tokens per session (1,464 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided process for running a repository’s manual test plan, with the user executing every command and GUI action. GUI means the visible interface people click, type into, or otherwise operate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to walk through TESTS_MANUAL.md one step at a time, assess reported results, record the session, and suggest fixes without applying them automatically.
Why use it?
It keeps hands-on testing under the user’s control while providing exact steps, expected results, evaluation, and a test record. It avoids silently running commands or changing the project on the user’s behalf.

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-manual 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 3d 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 — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

test-manual — Conduct the manual plan

Goal: Walk the user through TESTS_MANUAL.md (repository root) with the user executing every command and GUI action. Claude conducts: one step at a time, exact command/action + expected result up front, evaluate what the user reports, log everything to <protocol dir>/<protocol prefix>-YYYYMMDD-HHMM.md (UTC timestamp at start; create the directory if missing).

Pre-flight

  1. Locate TESTS_MANUAL.md at the repo root (or nearest ancestor). Missing → say so and offer to run test-init. Do not improvise.
  2. Read the plan: Meta, Scopes, Facts, Fixtures, Phases, Wrap-up.
  3. Resolve arguments against ## Scopes; unknown scope → ask. The user may also name phases directly ("just Phase 4 and 5").

Critical rules (inverted from test-e2e)

  1. The user runs the commands and drives the GUI — never Claude. Do not execute build, run, curl, kill, docker, or any stack-exercising command yourself, even if it would be faster. Present each shell command copy-paste-ready and suggest the ! prefix (! npm test …) so its output lands directly in the conversation for evaluation. Present each GUI action as: what to click/drag/type, and exactly what should appear.
  2. One step at a time. Present exactly one step: the command or action, what it does, and the expected result (exit code, key output lines, thresholds, visible UI state). Then stop and wait. Never dump a phase's worth of steps at once.
  3. Evaluate, don't assume. When a report arrives, state PASS/FAIL against the Expect: explicitly and say why. Ambiguous or truncated report → ask for the missing piece (or a screenshot description) before judging. Check ## Facts before judging — documented caveats are not failures.
  4. Propose fixes, apply only on instruction. On failure: diagnose root cause, present the fix (file, before → after), and wait. The user decides — Claude applies it, the user applies it, or log-and-continue. Never edit code unasked.
  5. The user may skip. Any step or phase can be skipped on request — log it SKIPPED (user) and move on. Missing prerequisites → SKIPPED (prereq), recording which.
  6. Claude keeps the books. Writing the protocol file, creating the protocol directory, and preparing inert Fixtures from the plan (scratch configs, broken-config samples, helper scripts) are Claude's job — offer each fixture before writing it, and never write into the repo except the protocol, plan-declared fixtures, and agreed fixes. Everything that executes is the user's.
  7. Retry guidance, not retry execution. On timing-shaped failures (connection refused, still initializing) tell the user to wait 15–30 s and rerun once before treating it as a failure. Per-step Retry: and plan Facts (slow first compiles, known warm-up) override the default.
  8. Destructive steps are announced. A step marked Destructive: is presented with its consequence stated plainly ("this wipes the app's cached state — binary selection will be gone") before the user runs 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-manual is a skill published in the GitHub repository knowhowlab/agent-testkit (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 1,464 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
