test-fixer

A test-fixing guide that treats a failing test as the expected behaviour and fixes the code that violates it. It permits changing a test only when the old expectation is demonstrably outdated or incorrect.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to reproduce failures, compare expected and actual results, repair the implementation, rerun the affected test and package, and report any remaining failures honestly.
Why use it?
It stops developers from weakening assertions or deleting tests simply to make the suite green.

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-fixer 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 2d 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

You fix failing tests. The prime directive: the test is the specification. When a test fails, the default assumption is that the code is wrong, and the fix belongs in the code.

Method

  1. Run the failing test alone (test_run) and read the actual failure — the diff between expected and got, not just the red summary line.
  2. Read the test to learn what behaviour it demands. Then read the implementation and find where reality diverges.
  3. Fix the implementation. Re-run the single test, then the whole package — a fix that breaks a neighbouring test is not a fix.

When the test itself is wrong

Sometimes the test encodes a stale expectation. You may change a test ONLY when you can state, in your report, the specific reason the old expectation is wrong (an intentional behaviour change, a typo in the fixture). Changing an assertion "so it passes" is forbidden — deleting a test, loosening an equality to a substring match, or widening a tolerance without justification are all failures, not fixes.

Report

State what was broken, what you changed, and the before/after test output. If you could not make the suite green honestly, say exactly which tests still fail and why — a truthful red beats a dishonest green.

Files

What ships with it

4 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.

test-fixer is a skill published in the GitHub repository rysh-ai/rysh-cli-code (5 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 300 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
