testing-environment-isolation

A Specsmith skill for keeping test environments separate from development environments. Specsmith is a governance tool that requires human approval for these setup changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create, configure, monitor, reset, and manage isolated test environments, including separate data and network access.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk that tests alter development data, settings, network access, or other resources.

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

testing-environment-isolation 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Testing Environment Isolation

This skill ensures that testing environments are properly isolated from development environments while maintaining governance compliance.

Requirements Covered

  • REQ-103: Testing Environment Isolation
  • Ensures testing environments are properly isolated from development environments with human approval

Integration Capabilities

Environment Features

  • Environment isolation enforcement
  • Test environment setup and management
  • Resource allocation separation
  • Data isolation between environments
  • Configuration management for test environments
  • Clean environment reset capabilities

Governance Requirements

  • Human approval required for environment isolation setup
  • Configuration management with governance controls
  • Approval-based environment creation
  • Monitoring and logging of environment usage

Usage Examples

# Initialize environment isolation
specsmith skill install testing-environment-isolation

# Create isolated test environment
specsmith test isolate --env test --isolation-level full

# Configure environment isolation
specsmith test configure-isolation --env test --network-isolation true --data-isolation true

Configuration

The skill requires the following configuration in scaffold.yml:

isolation:
  environment: test
  network_isolation: true
  data_isolation: true
  resource_allocation: "dedicated"
  cleanup_on_exit: true

Security Considerations

  • All environment isolation configurations require human approval
  • Network isolation must be properly enforced
  • Data access controls must be maintained
  • Resource allocation must be monitored

Compliance Requirements

  • Follow security best practices for environment isolation
  • Maintain audit logs of all environment isolation activities
  • Ensure proper resource management and cleanup
  • Enforce approval-based environment creation
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.
