tests-adversarial

tests-adversarial is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutlineDriven/odin-gemini-cli-extension. It costs 35 tokens per session (1,188 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of tests-adversarial, Apache-2.0.

A testing approach that deliberately sends invalid inputs and disrupts expected conditions to test how software handles failures. It looks beyond normal, successful use.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps test error handling, boundary values, unexpected input, disappearing files, dropped connections, changing clocks, memory limits, and permission changes.
Why use it?
It finds bugs hidden by tests that cover only the happy path, such as crashes from missing data or incorrect behavior at limits. It checks whether assumptions about inputs, order, files, connections, and permissions are safe.

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

tests-adversarial 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 8d 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.

Adversarial Testing — Think Like the Attacker

Every line of code makes assumptions. Your job is to find them and violate them — systematically, not randomly. The goal is distrust, not coverage. A passing test suite proves nothing if it only tests the happy path.

The Adversarial Mindset

  1. Every input is a lie. Callers will send garbage, nulls, negative numbers, empty strings, and types that satisfy the compiler but violate intent.
  2. Implicit contracts are targets. If the code assumes ordering, uniqueness, non-emptiness, or positive values without enforcing it — that is your entry point.
  3. The system is your adversary. Files disappear, connections drop, clocks jump, memory runs out, permissions change between check and use.
  4. Passing tests prove nothing. They prove the happy path works. Adversarial tests prove the sad paths do not silently corrupt.

Assumption Hunting (Core Technique)

For every function or module under test, ask these six questions:

  1. What does it assume about inputs? Violate each assumption: wrong type coercion, boundary values, null/nil/None, empty collections, maximum-size payloads.
  2. What does it assume about ordering? Reorder arguments, reverse sequences, interleave concurrent calls, call methods out of lifecycle order.
  3. What does it assume about timing? Delay responses past timeouts, deliver results before the consumer is ready, inject clock skew, expire tokens mid-operation.
  4. What does it assume about state? Start from half-initialized state, corrupt shared state mid-operation, test post-error recovery state, double-close resources.
  5. What does it assume about resources? Exhaust file descriptors, fill disk, revoke permissions, return allocation failures, saturate connection pools.
  6. What does it assume will NOT happen? Make it happen. Concurrent modification during iteration, recursive re-entry, self-referential data, stack overflow via deep nesting.

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.
