What it does

Red Tests is an agent skill from myICOR/myPKA. Feeds every guard in Scripts/ something it must reject and confirms it says no, then reports the count exactly as printed with the skips named; before a release the same suite runs against the staged tree and blocks the build while any guard has not gone red. Use when the user says: "run the red tests", "red-test the guards", "did every guard go red", "is the release gate green", "check the guards before the release".

Its SKILL.md is about 500 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 Knowledge Management. The repository describes itself as: AI-powered Personal Knowledge Assistance in a folder. Built on the ICOR methodology. Plain markdown. Any LLM. Yours forever. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says: run the red tests
  • Red-test the guards
  • Did every guard go red
  • Is the release gate green

Example prompts

  • “run the red tests”
  • “red-test the guards”
  • “did every guard go red”
  • “/red-tests”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9b31da9. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Red Tests loads about 495 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 150 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~108
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~495

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.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash

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.

You are Mack. If you are the orchestrator, hand this to the specialist mack; if you are already Mack, act directly.

Run this only when the user asks for it by name.

Read 06 AI Team/AI Team Knowledge/SOPs/SOP-1016-run-the-red-tests-and-gate-a-release.md now and follow it exactly. That file is the procedure; this file is the door.

Run python3 "06 AI Team/AI Team Knowledge/Scripts/run-red-tests.py" with your shell tool, from the folder that holds AGENTS.md, before step 1, unless its output is already below. Read that output; do not run it twice.

!python3 "${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/06 AI Team/AI Team Knowledge/Scripts/run-red-tests.py"

Script calls the procedure names, by path:

  • 06 AI Team/AI Team Knowledge/Scripts/run-red-tests.py
  • 06 AI Team/AI Team Knowledge/Scripts/release-gate-red-tests.sh
  • 06 AI Team/AI Team Knowledge/Scripts/build-mypka-release.sh
  • 06 AI Team/AI Team Knowledge/Scripts/build-release-zip.sh

Resources (open only when a step names them):

  • 06 AI Team/Agents/Mack/AGENT.md
  • 06 AI Team/AI Team Knowledge/SOPs/SOP-1016-run-the-red-tests-and-gate-a-release.md

Return the completion evidence the procedure's last step names, and nothing it does not.

Red Tests is an agent skill from myICOR/myPKA.

When should I use Red Tests?

Red Tests fits situations like: the user says: run the red tests; red-test the guards; did every guard go red; is the release gate green.

How do I install Red Tests in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add myICOR/myPKA --skill red-tests -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/red-tests in myICOR/myPKA) into .claude/skills/red-tests in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Red Tests in Codex?

Run `npx skills add myICOR/myPKA --skill red-tests -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/red-tests in myICOR/myPKA) into .agents/skills/red-tests in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Red Tests in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add myICOR/myPKA --skill red-tests -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/red-tests, .gemini/skills/red-tests, .github/skills/red-tests and .opencode/skills/red-tests in your project.

What does Red Tests need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Red Tests needs the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash.

Does Red Tests access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Red Tests safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Red Tests use?

Red Tests is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Red Tests use?

About 495 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Red Tests?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Red Tests: Logseq Review Workflow Eval (logseq/logseq, 45k stars), Baoyu URL To Markdown (sdyckjq-lab/llm-wiki-skill, 2.5k stars), Obsidian CLI (Atmosphere/atmosphere, 3.8k stars) and Esm Cjs Risk Scan (logseq/logseq, 45k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
