check-tests

check-tests is a skill for Claude Code from nortonx/ai-tooling-free. It costs 21 tokens per session (1,219 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that examines branch changes and reports how well they are covered by tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check the test coverage of a branch or narrow the review to a particular existing file or module.
Why use it?
It shows where changed behavior lacks tests, helping developers decide what should be tested before merging.

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

check-tests 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Arguments

[<file-or-module>]

  • Optional. Narrows the scope to a specific file or module; default is the branch diff vs the resolved base branch (origin/HEAD, else main, else master).
  • If the value does not resolve to an existing file or directory, the skill stops and asks rather than silently falling back to the whole branch diff.
  • Examples: /check-tests, /check-tests src/auth.ts

Copilot CLI note: $ARGUMENTS does not substitute in skills; include the argument inline in your prompt.

Check Branch Tests

Analyze test coverage for this branch changes.

Scope

Diff between this branch and the base branch. Resolve the base branch in this order:

  1. If the user prompt names a branch explicitly, use it.
  2. Else git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD if it resolves.
  3. Else main if it exists locally, else master.
  4. If neither exists, stop and ask which branch to diff against.

If $ARGUMENTS is non-empty and resolves to an existing file or directory, narrow the scope to it. If $ARGUMENTS is a string that does not resolve to a real path, stop and ask; do not silently fall back to the whole branch diff.

Task

For each changed file in the diff:

  1. Identify functions/methods that were added or modified
  2. Check whether adequate tests exist for those changes
  3. Flag untested code paths, missing edge cases, and regression gaps
  4. Check if test format is consistent with other existing tests in the project
  5. AAA adherence: flag tests missing clear Arrange / Act / Assert separation or with multiple logical assertions crammed in
  6. FIRST compliance: flag tests that are slow, order-dependent, non-repeatable (unmocked time.now / random), or rely on print instead of assertions
  7. Flaky-test smells: sleep / setTimeout / timing waits, unmocked clock or randomness, shared mutable state between tests
  8. Mock placement: flag mocks of the SUT or its internal helpers: mocks belong at boundaries (network, filesystem, clock, randomness) only
  9. Behavior vs implementation: flag assertions on private methods / internal data structures; public-contract assertions only
  10. Near-duplicate tests: flag pairs that differ only by input: should be parameterised
  11. Name quality: flag vague names like test_1, works, happy; expect should_<expected>_when_<condition> or given_<state>_when_<action>_then_<outcome>

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.
