test-coverage

test-coverage is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShiplightAI/agent-skills. It costs 90 tokens per session (2,350 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A test-planning and test-running workflow for a feature, specification, code module, pull request, or ticket. It creates Markdown records describing what was tested and what happened.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for choosing suitable tests, getting tests written, running them, and recording the results in test-spec.md and test-report.md.
Why use it?
It helps turn broad testing work into a clear list of behaviors to check, while keeping a factual record of tests that passed, failed, or could not run.

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-coverage 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 209 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Test Coverage

Test-creation workflow for one feature, spec, module, PR, or ticket at a time. Use after a feature is implemented (or alongside it, or after a PR) to decide what needs testing, choose the right testing strategy, drive the producers to write comprehensive tests, run them, and record the result.

It produces human-readable Markdown (test-spec.md, test-report.md) and test code via the producers. The report records facts — what was tested, by what test type, and what passed — not a graded confidence verdict.

What This Skill Owns

  • specs/<feature>/test-spec.md — the durable "testing what" contract: the behaviors, invariants, risks, and the declared priority of each.
  • specs/<feature>/test-report.md — the session record: what was tested, by what test type, what ran, and what passed, failed, or was blocked.
  • Repo-root TESTING.md (optional) — project testing-strategy notes (preferred modalities, gate/posture by priority, context labels). Standalone-safe: a baked-in default applies when absent.

Two Layers

  1. Testing what — the behaviors, properties, requirements, and invariants that must be verified to trust the feature, each carrying a declared priority (P0–P3).
  2. Testing how — the evidence used to verify them: unit, contract, integration, e2e, agent, manual, telemetry, static, smoke, script.

Comprehensive testing is not test count. Optimize for justified confidence per unit of cost (author + run + maintain), stability, latency, and diagnostic value. Buy sufficient confidence at the lowest cost, spending the scarce expensive-test budget (e2e, agent) where priority is highest.

Priority Is A Declared Fact

Each testing-what item carries a priority (P0–P3) read from an upstream dev artifact — the PRD, the feature breakdown, or the spec — never invented here. Priority is the effort lever: P0 gets the strongest posture, P3 the lightest. Per-behavior priority defaults to the feature's declared P-level; record a finer level in test-spec.md only when the spec or owner declares one. If nothing upstream declares a priority, mark it UNKNOWN and surface it for the owner rather than guessing — a guessed priority is not a fact.

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-coverage is a skill published in the GitHub repository ShiplightAI/agent-skills (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 2,350 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
