reporting

A Ginkgo testing and reporting skill. Ginkgo is a Go testing framework; this skill explains console output, machine-readable reports, and attaching extra data to test results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to control test verbosity, show stack traces, create JSON or JUnit reports, format output for GitHub Actions, and add report entries.
Why use it?
It makes failing tests easier to inspect locally or in continuous integration, where automated systems run tests and need structured results.

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

reporting 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 3d 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.

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.

Reporting and profiling

How to produce reports and feed data into them. To read a failing report as an agent (the jq failure-diagnosis workflow), see ginkgo:debugging-failures. Docs: https://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/#generating-machine-readable-reports and https://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/#attaching-data-to-reports.

Console output

Flag Effect
--succinct Minimal (default when running multiple suites).
(none) Normal — detail only for failed specs (default, single suite).
-v Full timeline for every spec; streams live in series.
-vv -v plus node > Enter/< Exit events and every failure (not just the primary).
--trace Full stack trace on every failure, not just panics.
--no-color / GINKGO_NO_COLOR=TRUE Disable color.
--github-output Format console output for GitHub Actions.

In parallel (-p), -v/-vv timelines can't stream — the streams would interleave, so Ginkgo emits each spec's full timeline after that spec completes. → CI flags in ginkgo:ci.

Machine-readable reports

ginkgo -r --json-report=report.json --output-dir=./.reports
  • --json-report is native and richest — an array of types.Report, each with SpecReports[] of types.SpecReport (godoc); build tooling against the types package.
  • --junit-report=x.xml, --teamcity-report=x, --gojson-report=x.go.json exist for external CI but lose Ginkgo metadata — use them to feed a system, not to diagnose. (JUnit maps a Label("owner:XYZ") to the Owner attribute.)
  • --output-dir=DIR collects all files in one place; under -r all suites merge into one report file. --keep-separate-reports writes one PACKAGE_report.json per package instead.
  • Every machine-readable report embeds the full -vv timeline regardless of console verbosity. Run the suite quiet and mine the file — you don't need -vv on the console to get rich detail in the report.

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.

reporting is a skill published in the GitHub repository onsi/ginkgo (9,046 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 124 tokens to every session and 1,631 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
