test-fix

test-fix is a skill for Claude Code from patriceckhart/zot. It costs 17 tokens per session (329 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for finding the cause of a failing automated test, making the smallest appropriate fix, and running the test again.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reproducing a failing test, reading the expected-versus-actual result, changing the relevant assertion or implementation, and checking the isolated test, nearby suite, and full test command.
Why use it?
It keeps debugging focused and avoids unnecessary rewrites when the failure may come from the code, the test expectation, or the environment.

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-fix 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

Test fix

When the user reports a failing test (or a test suite failure), work in this order. Resist the temptation to rewrite large chunks of code.

1. Reproduce

Run the failing test in isolation first. For Go: go test -run TestThing ./pkg/.... For Node: npm test -- --run TestThing. The goal is a fast feedback loop, not the whole suite.

2. Read the failure carefully

  • What was expected vs got?
  • Which line of test code triggered the failure?
  • Is it a logic error in the implementation, an outdated test expectation, or environmental drift (e.g. timezone, locale, file system case-sensitivity)?

3. Choose the smallest possible fix

  • If the test is wrong → update the assertion only. Don't restructure.
  • If the implementation is wrong → patch the smallest function that fixes the failing case. Avoid drive-by refactors.
  • If the test depends on behaviour you need to change deliberately → ask the user before changing the assertion.

4. Re-run

The same isolated test, then the immediate suite, then the full test command if applicable. Stop the moment you see green; don't keep poking.

5. Report

Write 2–3 sentences: what was wrong, what changed, and which command verifies the fix. Include the diff inline.

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.
