What it does
Smoke Test is an agent skill from inbrainfun/inbrain. Post-restart smoke tests + auto-fix for inbrain and OpenClaw environments. Tests critical services, auto-fixes known issues, extensible via user-defined test scripts in ~/.inbrain/smoke-tests.d/.sh.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Testing & QA, covering QA and bug reports. It works with Zod.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve QA and bug reports
Example prompts
- “/smoke-test”
Requirements
- Node.js
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Test first — never fix without confirming broken
- Re-test after fix — verify the fix worked
- Timeout everything — timeout N on any command that could hang
- Use helpers — pass(), fail(), fixed(), skip()
- Idempotent fixes — safe to run repeatedly
- Skip gracefully — skip() when a prerequisite is missing, don't fail
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5231990. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
bashnpmredis-cli
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Smoke Test loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 508 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:43
| 7 | Embedding API key | — (check .env) | - NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:119
| `INBRAIN_DATABASE_URL` | (from .env) | Database connection URL |
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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 508 words (~1,294 tokens).
- name
- smoke-test
- triggers
- smoke test, run smoke tests, container restart check, health check, did the restart break anything, did the container restart break anything
- tools
- exec, read
