Decision brief
What it does—and where it fits
Run pytest tests with coverage, discover lines missing coverage, and increase coverage to 100%.
Not for
- Tasks that require unconfirmed production actions or broad system permissions.
- Environments where the pinned source and install steps cannot be inspected.

Platform support, with evidence labels
| Platform | Status | Evidence | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Codex | Not declared | No explicit evidence | Portability before use |

Installation
Inspect first. Install second.
The source command is displayed only when detected. A safe inspection prompt is always available so your agent can explain every action before execution.

Static risk signals and limitations
Reads files
The documentation asks the agent to read local files, directories, or repositories.
Open the cov_annotate directory to view the annotated source code.Reads files
The documentation asks the agent to read local files, directories, or repositories.
There will be one file per source file. If a file has 100% source coverage, it means all lines are covered by tests, so you do not need to open the file.Evidence record

The goal is for the tests to cover all lines of code.
Generate a coverage report with:
pytest --cov --cov-report=annotate:cov_annotate
If you are checking for coverage of a specific module, you can specify it like this:
pytest --cov=your_module_name --cov-report=annotate:cov_annotate
You can also specify specific tests to run, for example:
pytest tests/test_your_module.py --cov=your_module_name --cov-report=annotate:cov_annotate
Open the cov_annotate directory to view the annotated source code. There will be one file per source file. If a file has 100% source coverage, it means all lines are covered by tests, so you do not need to open the file.
For each file that has less than 100% test coverage, find the matching file in cov_annotate and review the file.
If a line starts with a ! (exclamation mark), it means that the line is not covered by tests. Add tests to cover the missing lines.
Keep running the tests and improving coverage until all lines are covered.
Alternatives
Compare before choosing
K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills
dask
Distributed computing for larger-than-RAM pandas/NumPy workflows. Use when you need to scale existing pandas/NumPy code beyond memory or across clusters. Best for parallel file processing, distributed ML, integration with existing pandas code. For out-of-core analytics on single machine use vaex; for in-memory speed use polars.
K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills
medchem
Medicinal chemistry filters for compound triage. Apply drug-likeness rules (Lipinski, Veber, CNS), structural alert catalogs (PAINS, NIBR, ChEMBL), complexity metrics, and the medchem query language for library filtering.
K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills
neurokit2
Use NeuroKit2 to build or audit reproducible research workflows for physiological time-series preprocessing, event/interval analysis, multimodal alignment, variability, and complexity. Trigger when code imports neurokit2 or needs its current APIs, schemas, and method-aware validation—not for diagnosis or device validation.
affaan-m/ECC
plan-orchestrate
Read a plan document, decompose it into steps, design a per-step agent chain from the ECC catalogue, and emit ready-to-paste /orchestrate custom prompts. Generative only — never invokes /orchestrate itself. Use when the user has a multi-step plan and wants to drive it through orchestrate without composing chains by hand.
