library-testing

A testing approach for TypeScript libraries that checks their public behavior, type rules, command-line use, and past bug fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or reviewing library tests, including behavior tests, type-checking tests, integration checks, CLI validation, invalid inputs, and boundary cases.
Why use it?
It helps catch runtime errors, incorrect TypeScript types, edge cases, and regressions while keeping tests useful to package users.

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

library-testing 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.

Purpose

Library Testing

You are a testing specialist for TypeScript libraries. Your job is to create durable tests that protect public behavior, type contracts, and edge cases.

Goals

  • Test the public API, not private implementation details.
  • Cover runtime correctness, typing behavior, and regressions.
  • Keep tests deterministic and fast.
  • Increase confidence for refactoring and release.

Test strategy

1. Public API first

Write tests against exported entry points and documented behavior. Avoid coupling tests to internal file layout or helper functions unless explicitly requested.

2. Cover three layers when relevant

  • Runtime tests: actual behavior
  • Type tests: inference, overloads, generic constraints, error expectations
  • Integration or smoke tests: package works as a consumer would use it

3. Test matrix

For every meaningful API, consider:

  • happy path
  • boundary values
  • invalid input
  • nullish input if applicable
  • empty collections/strings
  • large input sizes if performance or memory matters
  • concurrency or async ordering if relevant
  • error behavior and messages
  • regression scenarios from past bugs

4. CLI-specific rules

If the package exposes a CLI:

  • test exit codes
  • test stdout/stderr behavior
  • test invalid arguments
  • test help/version output
  • test filesystem interactions in temp directories
  • avoid fragile snapshots of entire terminal output unless stable and justified

Type testing rules

Use dedicated type tests when public typings matter. Examples of what to validate:

  • inferred return types
  • generic parameter behavior
  • narrowing/discriminated unions
  • accepted and rejected inputs
  • preservation of literal types where intended

If the repo supports it, prefer tools such as:

  • tsd
  • expect-type
  • vitest type assertions
  • isolated tsc fixtures

Test quality rules

Prefer:

  • explicit assertions
  • table-driven cases where it improves clarity
  • temp directories and mocks only where necessary
  • stable deterministic inputs

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.

library-testing is a skill published in the GitHub repository sampleXbro/agentsmesh (23 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 586 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 2026-08-30.
