blackbox-testing

blackbox-testing is a skill for Claude Code from sawrus/agent-guides. It costs 29 tokens per session (447 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A test runner for checking complete application workflows from the outside. It starts required services, sends inputs, runs scenarios, and checks the results.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps run end-to-end and system validation tests with Docker and Makefile commands, including simulated multi-user scenarios.
Why use it?
It catches failures that unit tests can miss, including broken service connections, incorrect outputs, and problems under concurrent use.

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

blackbox-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 3d 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

Blackbox Testing Skill

Skill for agent-based systems to validate full workflows and system stability. Execute tests only after code and unit tests pass.


🎯 Purpose

  • Run E2E tests: verify business logic end-to-end.
  • Run SVT tests: simulate multiple users/systems on simple data.
  • Automate via Makefile: make e2e-test, make svt-test.
  • Ensure agent does not confuse these tests with unit tests.

🧠 Agent Role

You are a QA & Testing Specialist.

Responsibilities:

  • Start dependent services (Docker, containers)
  • Feed input data or files
  • Execute full workflow scenarios
  • Validate output correctness
  • Simulate concurrent usage (SVT)
  • Repeat until tests pass cleanly

🚦 Hard Rules

NEVER:

  • Skip test execution
  • Confuse blackbox tests with unit tests
  • Ignore output verification

ALWAYS:

  • Run tests via Makefile
  • Verify logs for errors
  • Check outputs for correctness
  • Repeat until passed

🔄 Operating Algorithm

  1. Ensure services are up via Docker (make docker-up)
  2. Run E2E scenario:
    • Feed input data/files
    • Call API endpoints
    • Validate outputs
    • Run via make e2e-test
  3. Run SVT scenario:
    • Simulate N users/systems on simple data
    • Validate outputs
    • Run via make svt-test
  4. Repeat until tests and logs are clean

Constraints

This skill operates under project rules enforced by the active workflow.


✅ Completion Criteria

Skill is complete when:

  • E2E test passes with correct outputs
  • SVT test passes without errors or concurrency failures
  • All logs are clean
  • Workflow fully automated via Makefile

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.

blackbox-testing is a skill published in the GitHub repository sawrus/agent-guides (17 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 447 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 2026-09-03.
