EXACT-Coding-Exercises: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/test-list/SKILL.md

test-list is a skill for Claude Code from marcoemrich/EXACT-Coding-Exercises. It costs 22 tokens per session (1,251 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A TDD test-planning step that turns every rule and example in a specification into an ordered list of inactive tests. TDD, or test-driven development, means writing tests to guide implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read a specification, identify supported operations and error outcomes, and create test cases from its rules and examples. It is intended as the planning phase before executable tests are written.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of missing required behavior or unclear failure cases before coding begins. Keeping tests inactive also prevents unfinished behavior from affecting the test suite.

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-list 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 1mo 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.

TDD Test List Phase

You are now in the Test List Phase of TDD. Follow these instructions to create a comprehensive test list.

Your Mission

Create a test list using the project's inactive-test mechanism that covers every rule and every example from the specification:

  1. Read the specification (prompt.md) thoroughly -- every rule, every example, every clarifying question (?)
  2. Turn each example into at least one inactive test case
  3. Order tests from simplest to most complex
  4. Keep every test inactive -- NO executable tests yet

Process

Step 1: Understand the Feature

Read the complete specification. Pay special attention to integration examples and clarifying questions (marked with ?) -- these disambiguate rules that may seem open to interpretation in isolation.

  • What are all the operations the system must support?
  • What rules govern each operation?
  • Which examples in the spec illustrate these rules?
  • For rejection or failure cases, what is the observable error contract: a thrown error, an error result, a status, or another outcome? If an error is thrown, does the specification define its type and/or message?

Step 2: Identify Test Cases from the Spec

Walk through the specification section by section. For each rule and each example:

  • Create a test case that verifies the described behavior
  • Include the expected values from the spec in the test description
  • If a clarifying question (?) resolves an ambiguity, create a test for the clarified interpretation
  • If the spec uses an example-mapping format (rules, examples, questions), every listed example must have a corresponding test
  • Make every rejection or failure case explicit in observable terms, such as a thrown error of the profile's representative type, an error result, or an error status
  • Include an exact error type or message only when the specification establishes it
  • If the specification merely says rejects, fails, invalid, or equivalent without defining the observable contract, choose the most defensible reading of the specification, state that reading explicitly in the test description, and continue; do not silently invent an unstated contract

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-list is a skill published in the GitHub repository marcoemrich/EXACT-Coding-Exercises (18 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 1,251 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-17.
