test-development

test-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pingdotgg/t3code. It costs 42 tokens per session (210 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for adding or changing automated tests with Vitest and Tstyche. Vitest checks runtime behaviour, while Tstyche checks TypeScript type behaviour such as inference and assignability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing code that needs runtime tests, TypeScript type tests, or both.
Why use it?
It helps ensure that code changes have focused test coverage and that both runtime behaviour and public type contracts remain correct.

About the project

T3 Code is an app for controlling AI coding agents running on a user's computer through mobile, web, and desktop interfaces. Developers use it to work remotely with supported agents such as Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Grok Build, OpenCode, and Antigravity. The catalogue add-ons support the T3 Code workflow.

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-development 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

Choose branches from the task's acceptance criteria before editing:

  • Runtime behavior: The intended result is observable when code executes. Read runtime.md.
  • Compiler behavior: The intended result is TypeScript accepting, rejecting, or inferring a consumer expression in a particular way. Read types.md.

An exported signature alone is validated by pnpm check; it enters the compiler branch only when its inference, assignability, rejection, overload selection, or displayed type is part of the task. Some changes require both branches because they independently change runtime and compiler behavior.

The task is complete when each intended behavior in scope has the relevant focused coverage, targeted tests pass, and applicable root checks pass or are reported as not runnable.

Files

What ships with it

3 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.
