Run mutation tests with cargo-mutants to verify test quality.

  • Development work in your project
  • Calls cargo

What it does

Mutation Test is an agent skill from nwiizo/ccswarm. Run mutation tests with cargo-mutants to verify test quality. Reports caught, missed, and timed-out mutants.

Its SKILL.md is about 190 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. The repository describes itself as: Multi-agent orchestration system using Claude Code with Git worktree isolation and specialized AI agents for collaborative development. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/mutation-test”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cec7fe. 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:

    • cargo

    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

Mutation Test loads about 189 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 21 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~189

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.

[crate-name]

Run mutation tests on the specified crate (default: ccswarm):

bash
# Install if needed
cargo mutants --version || cargo install cargo-mutants

# List mutants
cargo mutants --list -p $ARGUMENTS | head -50

# Run mutation tests
cargo mutants -p ${1:-ccswarm} --timeout 120 -j 4

# Report results
echo "=== Caught ===" && wc -l mutants.out/caught.txt
echo "=== Missed ===" && cat mutants.out/missed.txt
echo "=== Timeout ===" && wc -l mutants.out/timeout.txt

Focus on missed mutants in business logic - these indicate insufficient test coverage.
