What it does

Durable Test Collateral is an agent skill from asgeirtj/system_prompts_leaks. Load the body before the first implementation edit for a bug fix or behavior change, or when the user or governing specification makes reusable tests a deliverable. It keeps the smallest focused test with the delivered project and updates coverage when behavior changes. Do not load for greenfield work unless reusable tests are explicitly required, behavior-preserving refactors, verification-only work, plan/review/explanation/documentation/formatting/generated-output-only work, explicit no-change or no-tool work…

Its SKILL.md is about 690 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Debugging and Refactoring. The repository describes itself as: Documented system prompts from Anthropic - Claude Fable 5.1, Opus 5.5, Claude Design, Claude Code. OpenAI - ChatGPT GPT-6-Astra, Codex. Google - Gemini 3.8 Flash, 3.1 Pro… The licence is CC0-1.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Governing specification makes reusable tests a deliverable
  • Tasks that involve Debugging
  • Tasks that involve Refactoring

Example prompts

  • “/durable-test-collateral”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e31ec21. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Durable Test Collateral loads about 687 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 144 tokens; SKILL.md has 341 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~144
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~687

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Durable Test Collateral

Verification is part of the delivered project when it can prevent the same behavior from breaking again. Use the project's existing framework and conventions.

Keep the check with the project

For a bug fix or behavior change, add or update the smallest maintained test in the repository's normal test layout that exercises the changed behavior. If a specification makes a reusable suite or test category a deliverable, implement that suite instead of treating it as private verification.

An inline interpreter command, heredoc, scratch script, temporary-directory test, demo, or manual probe may help diagnose the problem, but it does not replace the maintained test. Keep a useful self-authored test unless the user explicitly asks for a disposable probe.

Do not add a new test framework solely to satisfy this skill. If the repository has no maintained harness and the request does not require one, disclose when durable coverage would be disproportionate or infeasible and use the narrowest honest verification instead.

On a later turn, update the maintained test even when the old suite remains green and the user does not repeat the test request. Cover the new behavior, not merely an unrelated cleanup in the test file.

Prove the maintained check

Observe the authentic failure before the implementation change when it is safe and runnable. Then make the smallest implementation change and run the focused maintained test after the final relevant source or test edit.

Do not weaken or delete a real failing test to obtain green. Fix the product, or explain why the test's expectation is wrong before changing that expectation. Do not repeat an unchanged check solely to collect evidence.

Run a broad or full suite only when the user, a repository gate, or proportionate risk requires it. A focused regression test comes first; broad proof does not substitute for missing focused coverage.

If the real runner is unavailable but the focused test can still be authored honestly, leave the focused test in the repository and say it was not run. Do not fabricate a passing result.
