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

  1. Download lb-test.md from the repository.
  2. 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.
  3. Run it by typing / followed by its name.

Claude Cowork

  1. Turn the command into a skill: create a folder with the file saved as SKILL.md and zip it.
  2. In Customize → Skills, click +, then upload the ZIP.
  3. 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

  1. Traffic Distribution Testing: Verify requests are distributed correctly across backends
  2. Failover Testing: Test behavior when backends fail
  3. Sticky Session Validation: Ensure session affinity works
  4. 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.
