monitor-test-run

monitor-test-run is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kobiton/automate. It costs 215 tokens per session (6,276 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for watching a Kobiton test run, where Kobiton runs mobile tests on real or virtual devices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Polling all executions until they finish, reporting state changes, showing a remediation link for blocked executions, and producing a final run summary.
Why use it?
It keeps the agent from treating a run with a blocked execution as a successful pass and reports live-remediation details when available.

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

monitor-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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/poll-test-run.js, scripts/poll-test-run.test.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 362 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Overview

Given a testRunId, watch the run and narrate it. The skill:

  1. Reads live_remediation_enabled once via getOrgSettings, so it can explain deterministically what happens when an execution is blocked.
  2. Runs the bundled scripts/poll-test-run.js in the background — it watches the run and emits a line only when an execution's state changes (the model never hand-polls).
  3. Reacts to those emitted lines: surfaces a blocker (with the live-remediation URL) when one appears, stays silent in between.
  4. On the poller's DONE, does a post-mortem so a blocker is never mistaken for a pass.

The skill is conversational: its "output" is the messages it posts to the user (events + final summary), not a value returned to a caller. It changes nothing server-side except, optionally, terminateTestRun if the user asks to stop the underlying run.

Tool naming. This doc refers to Kobiton MCP tools by their bare names (getOrgSettings, terminateTestRun). The registered name depends on how the host loaded the MCP server (Claude Code as a plugin exposes mcp__plugin_automate_kobiton__getOrgSettings; a repo-local .mcp.json exposes mcp__kobiton__getOrgSettings; other hosts differ). Use the bare name and let the host resolve the prefix. (Run state is read by the bundled poller over REST, not via the MCP getTestRun tool — a background process can't call MCP tools.)

Prerequisites

Runs on any OS, but needs a local filesystem, Node.js 18+, and ~/.kobiton/.credentials — the watch is a bundled Node poller that reads that file. Where you can't run a local command at all, tell the user to follow the run in the portal instead. A streamed-output affordance is strongly preferred but not required: Claude Code uses the Monitor tool, other hosts substitute their own streamed shell / watch / loop, and a host with none falls back to the foreground loop in Step 2 — see that per-host table, including what NOT to use (a silent detached process misses the blocker window). See the Skill compatibility matrix in CLAUDE.md.

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.
