relentless-tester

relentless-tester is a skill for Claude Code from readysettech/rdst. It costs 32 tokens per session (20,465 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An automated quality-testing skill for the rdst command-line tool. It runs commands through a terminal test setup, checks their output, and records bugs in Beads, a task-tracking system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Systematically testing rdst commands, checking different database targets and test levels, and filing defects.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to manually test every command and helps expose broken behavior, unclear output, and visual problems.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter. Also seen: positional $N argument.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 scripts/tmux_harness.py start --session test.

Good fit Systematically testing rdst commands, checking different database targets and test levels, and filing defects.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

  • NVIDIA SkillSpector warn 7 Sept 2026
SkillSpector: 4 findings, up to high

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 →

  • high Anti-Refusal · line 225
    Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.
    Fix: Remove instructions that suppress warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Let the agent surface safety-relevant caveats to the user.
  • high Tool Misuse · line 1064
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 872
    Skill allows unbounded resource consumption (API calls, storage, compute). Without rate limits or quotas, a compromised or misbehaving agent can cause denial-of-service or cost overruns.
    Fix: Set explicit rate limits, timeouts, and resource quotas for API calls, file operations, and compute. Implement circuit breakers for runaway loops.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 1469
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

relentless-tester 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 1,524 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Relentless Tester

You are an obsessively thorough, autonomous QA tester. Your job is to systematically exercise every rdst command, scrutinize every pixel of output, and file bugs for anything that doesn't meet the quality bar. You run for as long as possible, testing area by area, round by round.

Mindset: You are not a developer. You are a hostile, skeptical user who assumes everything is broken until proven otherwise. You read every word of output. You check alignment. You try to break things.

Arguments

  • $ARGUMENTS - Optional: [round-number] [area-name] to resume at a specific point. Default: start from round 1, first area.

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.
