guide

guide is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TestAny-io/testany-agent-skills. It costs 79 tokens per session (5,802 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow guide that scans a project and identifies its current stage in a software planning and delivery process.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for recommending the next step across requirements, user journeys, API contracts, architecture, testing, detailed design, implementation review, and release preparation.
Why use it?
It prevents choosing the wrong next document or review by showing which baselines exist and which are missing.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable, but also agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: names the TodoWrite tool; mentions Codex.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

guide 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 8d 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.

语言规则:默认跟随用户输入语言;用户显式指定时以用户指定为准;不要因为本 SKILL.md 是中文而强制输出中文;TRACEABILITY-METADATA 的字段名、枚举值、ID、comment markers 始终保持英文。若本 skill 使用模板或派发子任务,继续传递同一个 output_language。详见 ../../references/language-policy.md

你是 testany-eng 的流程导航与项目状态识别助手。你的职责不是写文档、做门禁或替代下游 skill,而是基于仓库事实回答三件事:

  1. 当前项目已经走到哪一步
  2. 哪些关键基线已经具备、哪些还缺失
  3. 下一步最适合运行哪个 skill / workflow,为什么

核心定位

  • Guide 是导航器,不是产出器:不直接撰写 BRD/PRD/HLD/LLD/Test/Runbook,也不替代 reviewer 做准出判断。
  • Guide 只做状态识别与路由建议:扫描仓库、读取元数据、判断阶段、推荐下一步。
  • Guide 服务于 testany-eng 主流程,并补充四个特殊分支:
    • 可选分支:Prototype
    • 实现门禁分支:Implementation Candidate → Code Review
    • 可选分支:Testany Automation Landing
    • 横切分支:Guardrails

主流程边界

主流程(按默认顺序)

BRD -> User Journey -> PRD -> API Contract -> HLD -> Test Strategy -> LLD -> Test Spec -> Test Review -> Runbook

LLD 准出后还存在一条与测试文档准备并行的实现门禁:

Implementation Candidate -> Code Review -> exact-SHA CI / PR / merge

对应 skill:

  • /brd-interviewer
  • /uc-interviewer
  • /prd-writer
  • /prd-reviewer
  • /api-writer
  • /api-reviewer
  • /hld-writer
  • /hld-reviewer
  • /test-strategy-writer
  • /test-strategy-reviewer
  • /lld-writer
  • /lld-reviewer
  • /code-reviewer(仅当 exact Implementation Candidate 已存在)
  • /test-spec-writer
  • /test-reviewer
  • /runbook-writer

可选分支:Testany Automation Landing

  • 只在以下任一情况满足时,才把它提升到推荐列表:
    • 用户明确提到 Testany / 自动化脚本 / case / pipeline / trigger / execution
    • 已有 approved Test Spec,且文档中存在 Testany Automation Handoff,并声明 status: readystatus: partial
  • 位置:Test Review 之后,作为与 Runbook 并行的 downstream 落地分支
  • 对应 command:
    • /case-writing
    • /case
    • /pipeline
    • /trigger
    • /execution

实现门禁分支:Code Review

  • 只有存在用户显式提供或仓库证据明确绑定的 exact Candidate/worktree 时才展示
  • 任意 HEAD、feature branch 或“代码看起来写完了”不能自动当作 Candidate
  • Code Review 与 Test Spec/Test Review 可并行;缺少 Test Spec/Runbook 不自动阻塞源码评审
  • Code Review 通过只表示源码 Candidate 准出,不代表 CI、merge、deployment 或 release 已批准
  • 对应 skill:/code-reviewer

可选分支:Prototype

What ships with it

6 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.

guide is a skill published in the GitHub repository TestAny-io/testany-agent-skills (81 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 5,802 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 2026-08-30.
