create-test-run

create-test-run is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kobiton/automate. It costs 207 tokens per session (3,103 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating a Kobiton test run from a test case or test suite. A test run is one execution of predefined checks on selected cloud-hosted mobile devices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start tests from a Kobiton case or suite, choose devices and an app, create the run, and optionally watch its progress.
Why use it?
It fills in missing run details with documented defaults, shows what will run for confirmation, and can offer to monitor the result afterward.

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

create-test-run 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 4d 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 — 214 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prerequisites

Needs only an authenticated Kobiton MCP connection — no local filesystem, no credentials file, no binary, no shell. It is the plugin's only pure-MCP skill, so it is the only one that works where the host supplies nothing else. The monitoring hand-off in Step 5 is the exception: monitor-test-run runs a local poller, so where you can't run a local command at all, create the run and report its id instead of offering to watch it (Step 5 carries the wording). Where you can, hand off and let that skill check its own credentials and streaming options — it degrades rather than refusing. See the Skill compatibility matrix in CLAUDE.md.

Overview

Turn a "run this" request into a created test run with as little friction as the user wants, then offer to watch it. Two phases:

  1. Build + confirm the run. Resolve what to run (test case or suite), on which devices, with what app — filling any unspecified field with a documented default — then show a one-screen summary and create on confirmation.
  2. Offer monitoring once. After creation, present the monitor choice in a single prompt and delegate to monitor-test-run if the user wants it.

Tool naming. Kobiton MCP tools are referenced by bare name (createTestRun, getOrgSettings, listDevices, getTestCase, getTestSuite). The host resolves the prefix (mcp__plugin_automate_kobiton__createTestRun, mcp__kobiton__createTestRun, etc.).

userIntent. Optional: pass one sentence on why when the tool name and arguments show what the call does but not why (e.g. terminateSession, deleteTestCase); omit it when the reason is obvious from the call (e.g. listDevices, getSession).

Inputs

Input Required Notes
test case id or test suite id one of A test case id → TEST_CASE selection; a suite id → TEST_SUITE. If the user named neither, ask for it (it's the one thing with no sensible default).
device count / specific devices no Default: 1 device matching the test case/suite platform. The user may say "3 devices", name models, or give UDIDs.
run name / app version / allocation no All defaulted (see Step 2).

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.
