t3code: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/test-t3-app/SKILL.md

test-t3-app is a skill for Codex from pingdotgg/t3code. It costs 48 tokens per session (437 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for running and testing the T3 Code web app in an isolated development environment. T3 Code is the application this workflow targets, and isolated means the test uses separate files and settings from other work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting the web app, pairing a browser with it, testing authentication, managing development servers across sessions, and inspecting or preparing its local SQLite database.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of tests affecting shared development data and covers sign-in pairing, local servers, and test-state recovery.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is pingdotgg/t3code's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on t3code itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything t3code configures →

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.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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-t3-app 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.

What it actually says

Test T3 web and desktop

Use T3's built-in Browser panel for verification. If its tools are absent or the panel reports unavailable, explain the blocker and stop verification. Do not install or switch to another automation system. For native mobile testing, use test-t3-mobile.

Start the app

Reuse this task's healthy dev server. Otherwise run vp run dev from the repository root and retain its terminal session. Use the worktree's ignored .t3 state and read the actual ports and pairing URL from the dev-runner output. Never run against ~/.t3/userdata or set VITE_HTTP_URL or VITE_WS_URL.

Test with meaningful project and thread data. Read references/sqlite-fixtures.md only when inspecting or seeding SQLite. Stop the test server before direct fixture writes.

Use the Browser panel

Call preview_status, then preview_open if the Browser panel is closed. Navigate to the complete startup pairing URL once with preview_navigate, then use preview_snapshot and T3's interaction tools. If the token was consumed or expired, run node apps/server/src/bin.ts pair for a fresh one. Keep using the same tab.

Verify and retain

Exercise the affected flow and capture the state that proves it works. Keep the server, state, and panel available while the user inspects or iterates. An assistant turn ending is not teardown. Stop only processes you started, using retained terminal sessions or captured PIDs.

When sharing is requested, start with vp run dev --share and give the user a fresh complete pairing URL that you have not consumed. Keep other credentials out of screenshots, commits, and replies.

Files

What ships with it

2 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.
