test-deep

test-deep is a skill for Claude Code from sd0xdev/sd0x-harness. It costs 77 tokens per session (2,252 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A context-aware test runner that selects relevant tests, runs them in stages, and investigates failures. Test triage means sorting failures to identify their likely causes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose tests based on code changes, analyze failed tests, and apply safe automatic fixers without committing changes.
Why use it?
It avoids running unrelated tests when possible and helps developers understand which failures matter and what may have caused them.

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-deep 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.

Test Deep — Context-Aware Test Orchestration

Supplementary Agent

When test failures occur, dispatch background triage:

Agent({ description: "Analyze test failure root cause and suggest fixes", subagent_type: "verify-app", prompt: Analyze the following test failure: <failure output> Identify root cause and suggest minimal fix. })

Trigger

  • Keywords: context-aware testing, smart test, test orchestration, test triage, test failure analysis, test deep, run relevant tests

When NOT to Use

Scenario Alternative
Writing new tests /post-dev-test
Reviewing test coverage /codex-test-review
Generating unit tests /codex-test-gen
Full manual test run /verify
Code review /codex-review-fast

Prohibited Actions

❌ git add | git commit | git push — per @rules/git-workflow.md

This skill runs tests and may apply safe fixers, but does not commit. To commit, the user must invoke /smart-commit --execute separately.

What ships with it

3 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-deep is a skill published in the GitHub repository sd0xdev/sd0x-harness (188 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 2,252 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
