What it does

Test Model is an agent skill from Pipelex/pipelex. Test an AI model on a specific backend using the Pipelex inference test infrastructure. Handles test profile creation, fixture regeneration, and running the right test class for the model type (LLM, image gen, extract, search). Use when the user says "test model X", "test gpt-5.4 on openai", "test model on anthropic", "run inference test for model", "try model X on backend Y", "verify model X works", or any variation of running inference tests against a specific model on a specific backend. Also use when the user…

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 Media & Creative, covering Image generation. It works with OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: Build AI methods with your coding agent, then run them anywhere: as an MCP for chatbots, as a webapp for people, or via API for your software.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says test model X
  • Test gpt-5.4 on openai
  • Test model on anthropic
  • Run inference test for model

Example prompts

  • “test model X”
  • “test gpt-5.4 on openai”
  • “test model on anthropic”
  • “/test-model”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify the model and backend
  2. Create a temporary test profile
  3. Run tests
  4. Interpret results
  5. Clean up (optional)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 67cf575. 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:

    • make

    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

Test Model loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 159 tokens; SKILL.md has 508 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~159
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

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 (~1,281 tokens).

“This skill runs inference tests for a specific model on a specific backend. It creates a temporary test profile, regenerates fixtures, runs the tests, and cleans up.”
