testing

testing is a skill for Claude Code from vindm/dotclaude. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,401 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide that records which testing risks matter most for a specific project in a small configuration file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify the module that worries the team most, choose a coverage approach, and set the desired testing depth for a later test-architecture review.
Why use it?
It turns general testing advice into project-specific priorities, especially where important code has little or no test coverage.

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 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 1mo 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.

/dotclaude:testing — test-risk elicitation

You are eliciting the project-specific test-coverage intent for the user's project: the coverage philosophy (as-we-go / backlog / none), the ONE module whose lack of coverage scares the user most, and the testing depth the project holds versus aspires to. The output is ONE thin artifact — .claude/dotclaude/test-risk-model.md — plus a key in dotclaude.yml. You do not author an agent, a rule file, or a hook: the consumed test-architect agent (shipped by the plugin — see agents/test-architect.md) already reads dotclaude.yml's artifacts.test-risk-model path at runtime, seeds its risk-weighted priority table from the artifact's top entry, falls back to deriving priorities from runtime signals alone when the artifact is absent, and layers the artifact's entries on top of its own four-mode methodology (audit / design / implement / maintain) when it's present (full contract: ../../docs/artifact-contract.md).

This elicitation is cheap and the consumed test-architect agent is useful even with an empty artifact — it falls back to its own generic risk tiers (auth → data-pipeline → billing → persistence → public API → algorithms → utilities) and to runtime signals (test/source ratio, most-edited untested files) when nothing has been elicited yet. What this skill adds is the part the codebase can't tell you: which module actually keeps the user up at night, and how far the team wants testing depth to go.

Phase 1 — Read the project's test shape

Before any question:

  1. Test framework — read whichever exists:
    # JS / TS
    cat package.json 2>/dev/null | grep -A 2 '"scripts"' | grep -E "test|jest|vitest"
    ls jest.config.* vitest.config.* 2>/dev/null
    # Python
    cat pyproject.toml 2>/dev/null | grep -A 5 "\[tool.pytest"
    ls pytest.ini conftest.py 2>/dev/null
    # Rust
    grep -A 3 "\[dev-dependencies\]" Cargo.toml 2>/dev/null
    # Go
    ls *_test.go 2>/dev/null | head
    # Other
    ls .mocharc.* karma.conf.* phpunit.xml 2>/dev/null

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.

testing is a skill published in the GitHub repository vindm/dotclaude (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,401 tokens. 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.
