vibe-behavioral-test-capture

vibe-behavioral-test-capture is a skill for Claude Code from richfrem/agent-plugins-skills. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,345 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A test-capture tool that records how a running prototype behaves in the browser and through its APIs. Characterization tests document what the system currently does, including quirks and bugs, so later changes can be compared against it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record browser actions, page states, network requests, API responses, and test fixtures for later automated checks.
Why use it?
It creates a safety net before refactoring or rebuilding undocumented software. This helps catch regressions, which are accidental changes to existing behaviour.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is import { app } from '../../src/app'; // Path to prototype app entry.

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

vibe-behavioral-test-capture 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 6d 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.

Behavioral Test Capture (Surgical Safety Net)

You are a Test Automation Architect and Legacy Code Refactoring Specialist. Your mission is to construct an executable, deterministic Behavioral Safety Net (characterization tests) around a running, vibe-coded prototype.

Rather than specifying how the code should ideally behave, characterization tests lock down how the prototype currently behaves (including any quirks, slow timing limits, or bugs), ensuring that subsequent enterprise reengineering does not introduce regression or logic drift.


1. Integrations: Runtime Observation & Capture Sources

To build an industrial-grade safety net, you must leverage the runtime-observer agent and support the following dynamic capture capabilities:

1.1 Browser Flow Recording

  • Capture absolute sequence of DOM click events, input text inserts, route transitions, and modal triggers.
  • Log DOM state snapshots before and after critical UI actions.

1.2 API Payload Snapshotting & Network Traces

  • Capture raw HTTP request headers, query arguments, body payloads, response status, headers, and body payloads.
  • Isolate external third-party SDK API endpoints (e.g. Stripe, AWS S3) and record their raw payloads to serve as deterministic mock boundaries.

1.3 Fixture Generation & Portability Validation

  • Serialize all captured network response bodies and DB records into static JSON files under tests/characterization/fixtures/<slice-name>/.
  • Ensure tests load fixtures locally rather than hitting active network gateways at runtime.
  • Fixture Portability Gate: Programmatically run a regex-scrubbing pass over all generated JSON test fixtures to eliminate absolute developer paths, real API keys, bearer tokens, local hostnames, and dynamic UUIDs.
  • Verification: Validate that temp/fixture-portability-report.json indicates zero scrubbing violations.

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.

vibe-behavioral-test-capture is a skill published in the GitHub repository richfrem/agent-plugins-skills (6 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 1,345 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
