testing-verification

testing-verification is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from thienanblog/awesome-ai-agent-skills. It costs 77 tokens per session (681 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A testing and verification guide for checking software behavior, test coverage, quality checks, browser tests, and visual comparisons.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan tests, design CI checks, verify browser behavior with Playwright, and compare screens visually.
Why use it?
It helps choose the smallest reliable check for a change and avoid adding unnecessary testing tools or fragile tests.

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

testing-verification 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 11d 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.

Testing Verification

Prefer project evidence over generic test advice, and verify behavior at the narrowest reliable level before broadening.

Run this skill in the main conversation. Do not spawn subagents, agent teams, or delegated parallel workers unless the user explicitly approves the proposed count and scope after being told that doing so can increase usage. Ask again before expanding an approved scope.

Operating Rules

  • Follow project instructions, existing test tools, naming conventions, and nearby tests.
  • Test public behavior and contracts at the narrowest reliable level; avoid implementation details unless the project expects them.
  • Do not add a new testing framework unless the project has no reasonable existing path and the benefit is clear.
  • Keep tests maintainable: small setup, clear assertions, stable fixtures, no hidden network or production dependencies.

Workflow

1. Discover And Scope

  • Identify test commands, CI jobs, nearby tests, browser tooling, fixtures, helpers, and source-of-truth behavior docs.
  • Read references/test-strategy.md, choose the lowest reliable level, and prioritize targeted checks before broader suites.
  • Use documented manual steps only when automation is unavailable or disproportionate.

2. Add Tests Or Checks

  • Reuse existing helpers and fixtures; keep each test focused on one coherent behavior or scenario.
  • Include edge cases that are business-relevant, not exhaustive noise.
  • For bug fixes, add a regression test that fails before the fix when practical.
  • For docs-only changes, verify links, examples, generated outputs, or commands when relevant.

3. Verify UI In A Browser

  • For interactive, exploratory, screenshot, or visual-comparison work, use the harness's built-in Browser when available and follow its instructions.
  • Use Playwright MCP only when built-in Browser is unavailable, and record why. If the user explicitly selected Browser, report the blocker and ask before substituting another surface.
  • Keep source-controlled Playwright E2E distinct: it provides repeatable regression and CI coverage and may complement, not replace, an interactive Browser pass.
  • Read references/ui-visual-verification.md for screenshot scope, before/after comparison, viewport consistency, and ambiguous-image handling.

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.
