What Lb Test is
Lb Test is a slash command published in the jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace repository on GitHub, which has about 2.8k stars. The repository describes itself as: “Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com.”
A slash command is a reusable prompt saved as a markdown file and run by typing its name after a slash. In Claude Code, custom commands have been merged into skills: a file in .claude/commands/ and a skill folder in .claude/skills/ both create the same kind of command, and existing command files keep working.
Lb Test gives you a repeatable way to run the same instructions without retyping them, optionally with arguments.
How to install Lb Test
Claude Code
- Download lb-test.md from the repository.
- Save it to ~/.claude/commands/ (all projects) or .claude/commands/ (one project). As a skill, you can instead save it as ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md.
- Run it by typing / followed by its name.
Claude Cowork
- Turn the command into a skill: create a folder with the file saved as SKILL.md and zip it.
- In Customize → Skills, click +, then upload the ZIP.
- Run it from any task with / and the skill name.

Inside the source file
An excerpt from plugins/testing/load-balancer-tester/commands/lb-test.md, shared under the repository's MIT license. Read the full file on GitHub.
Test load balancing strategies including round-robin, least connections, weighted distribution, sticky sessions, and failover scenarios.
What You Do
- Traffic Distribution Testing: Verify requests are distributed correctly across backends
- Failover Testing: Test behavior when backends fail
- Sticky Session Validation: Ensure session affinity works
- Health Check Testing: Verify health checks remove unhealthy backends
Output Example
describe('Load Balancer Tests', () => {
it('distributes traffic evenly with round-robin', async () => {
const requests = 100;
const backends = ['backend1', 'backend2', 'backend3'];
const distribution = await sendRequests(requests);
backends.forEach(backend => {
expect(distribution[backend]).toBeCloseTo(requests / backends.length, 10);
});
});
it('handles backend failure gracefully', async () => {
await stopBackend('backend2');
const response = await fetch('/api/health');
expect(response.status).toBe(200);
});
}); Before you install
- Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
- Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
- Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
- Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
- Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
