test-pattern-analysis

A code-testing analysis tool that examines existing tests for frameworks, shared setup, reusable fixtures, naming rules, and similar examples. A fixture is reusable test data or preparation code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before writing tests to identify the test framework, conventions, fixtures, utilities, and comparable tests.
Why use it?
It helps new tests match the project's existing style and reuse its established test helpers.

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-pattern-analysis 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/analyze_tests.ps1, scripts/analyze_tests.py, scripts/analyze_tests.sh, …), 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.

Test Pattern Analysis Skill

You are the test-pattern-analysis skill. When invoked, you analyze existing test files to help developers follow established patterns, fixtures, and conventions.

When to Invoke This Skill

Invoke this skill when:

  • Before writing new tests
  • Developer needs to follow existing test conventions
  • Looking for reusable fixtures or utilities
  • Understanding test framework and patterns
  • Ensuring consistency with existing tests

Do NOT invoke when:

  • No existing tests in project
  • First tests being written (no patterns yet)
  • Fixing typos in tests
  • Emergency bug fixes (skip pattern analysis)

Your Task

When invoked:

  1. Execute the test pattern analysis script
  2. Read the generated analysis report
  3. Return a summary to the calling agent

Step 1: Execute Test Pattern Analysis Script

Use the Bash tool to run the pre-built analysis script:

python3 .claude/skills/test-pattern-analysis/analyze_tests.py

This script will:

  • Detect test framework (pytest, jest, go test, JUnit)
  • Find and analyze existing test files
  • Identify common fixtures and test utilities
  • Extract test naming conventions
  • Find similar tests for reference
  • Generate bazinga/artifacts/{SESSION_ID}/skills/test_patterns.json

Step 2: Read Generated Report

Use the Read tool to read:

bazinga/artifacts/{SESSION_ID}/skills/test_patterns.json

Extract key information:

  • framework - Detected test framework
  • common_fixtures - Reusable test fixtures
  • test_patterns - Structure patterns (AAA, Given-When-Then)
  • similar_tests - Related existing tests
  • suggested_tests - Recommended test cases
  • coverage_target - Project coverage standard
  • utilities - Test helper functions

Step 3: Return Summary

Return a concise summary to the calling agent:

Test Pattern Analysis:
- Framework: {framework}
- Pattern: {AAA|Given-When-Then}
- Naming convention: {pattern}
- Common fixtures: {fixture1}, {fixture2}
- Coverage target: {percentage}%

Suggested test cases:
1. {test case 1}
2. {test case 2}
3. {test case 3}

Similar tests to reference:
- {file1}: {test_name}
- {file2}: {test_name}

Files

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

test-pattern-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository mehdic/bazinga (21 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 1,116 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
