A command that reviews the tests in one repository or bounded set of paths and checks whether they still protect behaviour and clean up resources. It can also repair problems after an audit when requested.

Use it to audit a test suite, inspect resource cleanup, or audit and repair tests in a selected repository or path.

Test suites can grow tests that pass without checking useful behaviour, or can leave resources behind. This tool identifies those issues without automatically running on every test change.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00019	$0.02913
Opus 5.5	$0.00008	$0.01165
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00583
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00291

Security

Grade A, and why

test-audit 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 20d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 20 executable files (scripts/boundary_report.py, tests/conftest.py, tests/fixtures/declared/pkg/__init__.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 249 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Test Audit

Take an existing suite that grew test-first and find out which of its tests still protect behaviour. Audit reports; repair changes the suite. Both work on one repository or one bounded path set per invocation — never a sweep across every registered repository.

Invocation

This is a command: a person names it, and nothing else starts it. Auditing a suite reads every test in scope and is far too heavy to fire off the back of an ordinary test edit, so both harnesses have implicit invocation switched off — disable-model-invocation: true here, policy.allow_implicit_invocation: false in agents/openai.yaml.

/test-audit                          audit the current repository
/test-audit audit src/billing        audit a bounded path set
/test-audit repair src/billing       audit, then repair under existing authorization

The first argument selects the mode and defaults to audit; the rest is the path set. Harnesses that expose skills as slash commands take /test-audit; Codex takes $test-audit (see its skills documentation). Where neither prefix is available, ask for the skill by name.

Resolve the testing method first

The general method belongs to the installed tdd skill, not to this skill. Read its SKILL.md, tests.md and mocking.md from the first root that exists, checking project-local before global:

<repo>/.agents/skills/tdd   <repo>/.claude/skills/tdd
~/.agents/skills/tdd        ~/.claude/skills/tdd

Read codebase-design from the same root set when a finding turns on where a seam belongs. If no root has tdd, stop and report a setup failure. A missing skill is not permission to invent a replacement testing policy.

Then read the repository's own AGENTS.md, GLOSSARY.md and standards. Domain, data provenance, credential and safety obligations recorded there survive this audit unchanged, and a textual contract can be one of them: in a repository whose product is instructions, a test over Markdown may be the only oracle for a real contract.

What ships with it

24 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-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository sussdorff/timing-cli (1 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 2,913 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-06.
