What it does

Check Coverage is an agent skill from ldayton/Dippy. Ensure comprehensive test coverage for a CLI handler. Use when adding a new command or auditing existing handler coverage.

Its SKILL.md is about 400 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 Test coverage. The repository describes itself as: 🐤 Less permission fatigue, more momentum. Dippy knows what’s safe to run and keeps Claude on track when plans change. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2edad4a. 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:
- just
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

Check Coverage loads about 403 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 142 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~403

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.

name: check-coverage
description: Ensure comprehensive test coverage for a CLI handler. Use when adding a new command or auditing existing handler coverage.
argument-hint: <tool>
disable-model-invocation: true

Ensure the handler and tests for $ARGUMENTS provide comprehensive coverage.

1. Gather Documentation

Find documentation for the tool (need at least one source):

tldr:

ls ~/source/tldr/pages/*/$ARGUMENTS*.md
cat ~/source/tldr/pages/*/$ARGUMENTS.md

Local CLI:

$ARGUMENTS --help
man $ARGUMENTS

Stop if neither source exists.

2. Explore Subcommands

For tools with subcommands, recursively explore:

$ARGUMENTS <subcommand> --help
$ARGUMENTS help <subcommand>

Build a mental model of:

All subcommands and their actions
Which operations are read-only (safe) vs mutate state (unsafe)
Global flags that affect parsing
Edge cases

3. Review Existing Tests

Read tests/cli/test_$ARGUMENTS.py and check for:

Coverage of all subcommands
Both safe and unsafe variants of each action
Global flag handling
Edge cases from the docs

4. Add Missing Tests

Add aspirational test cases for anything missing. Follow existing format:

python

TESTS = [
    # --- Subcommand group ---
    ("$ARGUMENTS <subcommand> <safe-action>", True),
    ("$ARGUMENTS <subcommand> <unsafe-action>", False),
]

5. Iterate Until Tests Pass

just test

For each failure, determine if the test expectation is correct:

If yes, update src/dippy/cli/$ARGUMENTS.py
If no, fix the test

6. Verify

just check MUST pass before you're done.
