test-audit-e0d2fe — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited test-audit-e0d2fe (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

TEST-flake-detection.Replace these placeholders: -[TEST_PATH]- primary location of test files (e.g.src/**/*.test.ts,tests/,spec/,Tests/,src/test/) -[COVERAGE_PATH]- location of coverage reports if non-standard (e.g.coverage/lcov.info,reports/coverage.xml) -[APP_SOURCE_PATH]- path to application source (for colocated-test detection) - e.g.src/,app/,lib/
Parse $ARGUMENTS for a target: or mode: token.
| Pattern | Meaning |
|---|---|
target:path:<dir> | Audit tests under a specific directory only (e.g. target:path:src/auth) |
target:file:<glob> | Audit files matching the glob (e.g. target:file:**/*.integration.test.ts) |
target:coverage:<path> | Force a specific coverage report path instead of auto-detection |
mode:all / no argument | Full audit - every discovered test file and auto-detected coverage report. |
STRICT PARSING: derive target ONLY from explicit text in $ARGUMENTS. Do NOT infer from conversation context, recent blocks, or memory.
Announce: Running test-audit - scope: [FULL | target: <resolved>] - stack: <pending detection>
Detect the primary stack in this priority order. First matching marker wins.
| Stack | Marker file(s) |
|---|---|
| node-ts | tsconfig.json + package.json |
| node-js | package.json (no tsconfig.json) |
| python | pyproject.toml or requirements.txt or setup.py |
| go | go.mod |
| rust | Cargo.toml |
| swift | Package.swift or *.xcodeproj / *.xcworkspace |
| kotlin | build.gradle.kts or build.gradle with kotlin( plugin |
| dotnet | *.csproj or *.sln |
| ruby | Gemfile |
| java | pom.xml or build.gradle (no Kotlin plugin) |
| generic | None of the above |
If stack is generic: run T1-T8 with generic patterns only, skip framework-specific coverage parsing, announce No known stack detected - running generic test-quality checks only.
Update announcement: Running test-audit - scope: [...] - stack: <detected>
Within the detected stack, identify the test framework. Parses package.json scripts, config files, and dependency declarations.

| python | (a) pytest in [tool.pytest.ini_options] of pyproject.toml or pytest.ini -> pytest (b) import unittest in any test file -> unittest (c) none -> unknown |
| go | Always testing (stdlib). Presence of testify in go.mod noted. |
| rust | Always cargo test. Tarpaulin presence in dev-dependencies noted. |
| swift | (a) import Testing in any test file -> swift-testing (b) import XCTest -> XCTest (c) both -> hybrid |

Glob by stack convention. Include both co-located and directory-based tests.

Announce: Discovered N test files across K layers.
If N == 0: output No test files found. Skipping static checks. Coverage reports still parsed if available. and continue to Step 4.
Auto-detect coverage report formats. Honor target:coverage:<path> if provided.
Search paths: coverage/lcov.info, coverage/lcov-report/, lcov.info, reports/lcov.info.
Parse by scanning lines:
SF:<file> starts a file block.LF:<n> = lines found, LH:<n> = lines hit. File coverage = LH / LF * 100.BRF:<n> = branches found, BRH:<n> = branches hit.end_of_record terminates the file block.Report: total line %, total branch %, files < 50% (top 10 by SLOC), files at 0% (top 10).
Search paths: coverage/coverage-summary.json, coverage/coverage-final.json.
Parse JSON. For coverage-summary.json: read the total key (lines.pct, branches.pct, functions.pct, statements.pct). For coverage-final.json: aggregate per-file s (statements) / b (branches) / f (functions).
Report: line %, branch %, function %, statement %.
Search paths: coverage.xml, cobertura.xml, coverage/cobertura-coverage.xml, build/reports/cobertura/coverage.xml.
Parse XML: <coverage line-rate="0.873" branch-rate="0.712"> at root. Per-package and per-class rates in child elements.
Report: line %, branch %, top uncovered classes.
coverage.outSearch paths: coverage.out, cover.out, .coverage/coverage.out.
Parse format: mode: <mode>\n<file>:<start>,<end> <stmts> <count>. Total % = stmts_hit / stmts_total. Use Bash with go tool cover -func=<file> if go is on PATH for a cleaner summary.
Search paths: tarpaulin-report.json, target/tarpaulin/report.json.
Parse JSON: files[].coverage percentages, aggregate weighted by file SLOC.
If *.xcresult directory exists AND xcrun is on PATH: run xcrun xccov view --report --json <file>.xcresult and parse JSON output. Skip gracefully if xcrun is unavailable (CI or Linux).
## Coverage (source: <format>)
- Total lines: <X>%
- Branches: <Y>% (if available)
- Functions: <Z>% (if available)
- Files below 50%: <N>
- Files at 0%: <N>No coverage report detected. Pass target:coverage:<path> or run <test-command> with coverage flag to generate one. - no severity, just a note.Classify each test file discovered in Step 3:
| ID | Layer | Path / content heuristic |
|---|---|---|
| P1 | Unit | Colocated *.test.* / *.spec.* next to source, or under tests/unit/**, __tests__/**, test/unit/**, spec/unit/**, src/test/**/unit/**. Default bucket if nothing else matches. |
| P2 | Integration | Path contains integration/, or filename matches *.integration.test.* / *.integration.spec.* / *_integration_test.*. |
| P3 | E2E | Path contains e2e/, end-to-end/, uat/, system/, or filename matches *.e2e.*. File imports @playwright/test, cypress, detox, selenium, webdriverio, appium, or (python) playwright, splinter. |
Compute N_unit / N_integration / N_e2e and their percentages of total.
Verdicts (target pyramid: ~70/20/10):
| Condition | Severity | Note |
|---|---|---|
N_e2e > 30% | Medium | Inverted pyramid - E2E-heavy suite is slow and brittle |
N_integration > 50% | Medium | Middle-heavy - consider splitting into unit vs E2E |
N_unit == 0 AND total > 0 | High | No unit tests - every change goes through slow layers |
| Only one layer present | Medium | Narrow coverage - regressions in untested layers will slip through |
| Within 50-85% unit / 10-35% integration / 2-20% E2E | OK | Report as balanced |
Report:
## Pyramid
- Unit: <N> (<P>%)

- Verdict: [balanced | inverted | middle-heavy | narrow | unit-absent]Run per stack. Read ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/PATTERNS.md for stack-specific grep patterns for all checks below. Checks without a matching pattern produce N/A - skipped for <stack>, not false positives.
.only / fit / fdescribe committedCritical. Focused tests in committed code break CI: suite passes locally but skips everything except the focused case. Grep for focused-test markers using patterns from PATTERNS.md → T1.
Report each match with FILE:LINE. If ≥ 2 files have matches, escalate to T8.
Medium per match; High if skipped tests > 10% of suite. Grep for skip markers using patterns from PATTERNS.md → T2.
Report: count and top 10 with file:line.
.todo placeholdersLow. Placeholder tests that never fail. Flag when count grows; not actionable per instance. See PATTERNS.md → T3.
Report: count only.
High. Empty tests always pass and create false confidence. Grep for empty test body patterns from PATTERNS.md → T4 (multiline regex - use multiline: true where supported).
Report: each match with file:line.
High. Test that runs code paths without verifying outcomes.
Heuristic: within a detected test body, grep for at least one of the stack's assertion patterns from PATTERNS.md → T5. Flag any test body that lacks all of its framework's patterns.
Report: each match with file:line. Expect some false positives (helper-only tests, integration setup) - mark findings as probable when the body is very short or wraps another function.
Medium. Sleep-based waits are the primary source of flaky tests. Grep for sleep/delay patterns (numeric sleep ≥ 500ms) using PATTERNS.md → T6.
Report: each match with file:line and duration.
Low. Doesn't affect correctness but adds noise. Grep test files for debug output patterns from PATTERNS.md → T7.
Report: count only. Do not list individually unless count > 20.
.only across files (broken CI)Critical. Derived from T1: if ≥ 2 distinct files contain T1 matches, the CI gate is broken in a non-obvious way (each file contributes a focused case, so several cases run but most are skipped).
Report: one aggregate finding with the list of affected files.
