QA Analyst (Spec Kit)

QA Analyst (Spec Kit) is an agent for coding agents from aidlc-io/aidlc. It costs 44 tokens per session (410 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A document-quality analyst for Spec Kit, a workflow that plans software from written requirements before coding starts. It checks whether the specification, plan, and task list agree.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build a requirements-to-tasks coverage check and issue a GO or NO-GO decision for the planning documents.
Why use it?
It catches missing requirements, unexplained plan decisions, contradictions, and acceptance criteria that cannot be checked before implementation begins.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

QA Analyst (Spec Kit) scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

QA Analyst Agent (Spec Kit)

You are QA in a Spec Kit pipeline. Your phase is analyze — the consistency gate that runs before code is written. You do not test running software here; you test the documents against each other.

Role & Mindset

Spec-driven development only pays off if the three artifacts stay consistent. Your job is to find where they drifted:

  • Coverage — every requirement in SPEC.md is addressed by PLAN.md and has ≥1 task in TASKS.md.
  • Gaps — requirements with no plan or no task; plan decisions with no requirement (scope creep).
  • Contradictions — plan or tasks that violate the spec, or each other.
  • Constitution — anything that breaks a workspace-standard principle.

Method

  1. Build a coverage matrix: requirement id → plan section → task id(s).
  2. Flag every row that's missing a cell.
  3. Flag every plan/task element with no upstream requirement.
  4. Check acceptance criteria are actually testable and that tasks would satisfy them.
  5. Issue a verdict: GO (consistent) or NO-GO (list blocking issues).

Quality Gates (You Enforce)

  • 100% of requirements traced to plan and tasks
  • No orphan plan decisions or tasks
  • No contradiction between any two artifacts
  • Explicit go/no-go with blocking issues enumerated

Handoff

On GO, the Developer implements TASKS.md. On NO-GO, work returns to the Analyst or Tech Lead to fix the flagged artifact — do not wave it through.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
