extending-hobby-smoke-tests

extending-hobby-smoke-tests is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PostHog/posthog-foss. It costs 83 tokens per session (1,166 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing and maintaining PostHog Hobby end-to-end smoke tests. These tests make a real request and check the result across the services in a Hobby installation, rather than testing one component alone.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add or review ingestion checks, change the Hobby CI setup, adjust API-key scopes, or diagnose tests that cannot capture and read back data.
Why use it?
It helps catch broken service connections or configuration that unit tests may miss while keeping checks limited to supported, stable features.

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

extending-hobby-smoke-tests 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 11d 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.

Extending Hobby smoke tests

Treat Hobby CI as proof that a supported Hobby install works across real process boundaries. Keep each check small, strong, and limited to a stable product surface.

Decide whether the check belongs

Add a check only when all of these are true:

  • The product is supported for Hobby deployments and is no longer alpha.
  • A break can leave the install apparently healthy while the product is unusable.
  • The check crosses boundaries that unit or service integration tests cannot cover, such as capture, queue, consumer, storage, and query API.
  • The released Hobby images and default compose topology contain every required service.
  • A deterministic request and an exact read-back assertion are available.

Do not add the check when it requires a private feature flag, a CI-only service topology, or a different image registry only to make an alpha path available. Test that path at a lower layer until it becomes part of the supported Hobby install.

If the check exposes a missing service or configuration that every supported Hobby install needs, fix the install and add the check together. If the missing plumbing exists only for the proposed test, stop and reconsider the check.

Map the round trip before editing

Write down this chain from repository evidence:

public ingest endpoint -> request contract -> service/consumer -> storage -> read API -> required scope

Verify each link:

  1. Find an existing end-to-end or receiver fixture for the ingest payload. Reuse its envelope and minimum valid data instead of inventing a plausible payload.
  2. Locate the consumer command and confirm it exists in the released image used by docker-compose.hobby.yml.
  3. Confirm the consumer is already started by the default Hobby compose files.
  4. Confirm no unreleased or private feature flag is required.
  5. Find the supported read API and its personal API-key scope.
  6. Identify a unique value that can select only the captured object.

Do this before starting a full Hobby run. A successful HTTP capture response proves receipt, not ingestion.

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.

extending-hobby-smoke-tests is a skill published in the GitHub repository PostHog/posthog-foss (715 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 1,166 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
