What it does

Maintain Tests is an agent skill from videojs/video.js. Gate and audit test value. Use when writing, reviewing, or pruning tests or test-only seams.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/campaign.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Video.js v10 - open source media player framework for HTML and React.

When your agent uses it

  • Test-only seams

Example prompts

  • “/maintain-tests”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. What observable behavior, invariant, or independent contract does it protect?
  2. What credible regression makes it fail?
  3. Why does existing coverage not already catch that failure? Each contract has one primary owner at the strongest boundary. Runtime-neutral…
  4. Does it need a production seam (export, flag, wrapper, injection hook) that no production caller needs? If yes, move the test to the real…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 50f59a2. 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:

    • pnpm
    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm and git, 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

Maintain Tests loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,203 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.7k

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 1,203 words (~2,165 tokens).

“Three modes, one value bar. Optimize for confidence, not deletion count.”
