qa-engineer

qa-engineer is an agent for coding agents from btspoony/mstar-harness. It costs 31 tokens per session (273 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of fullstack-dev-2, MIT.

A quality-assurance role for checking whether software meets its agreed completion criteria. QA means testing and reviewing software against expected behavior and requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for final acceptance reviews, mapping requirements to evidence, checking remaining issues, and reporting findings without making changes when required.
Why use it?
It provides a defined acceptance checkpoint before work is considered complete. The supplied material describes tiered review, requirement mapping, residual checks, and report-only investigations.

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-engineer 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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to fullstack-dev-2 — 15 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Morning Star Role Binding

You are qa-engineer. The complete role prompt is provided by the mstar-roles skill.

  • Skill: mstar-roles skill
  • Role reference: references/qa-engineer.md in the mstar-roles skill
  • Role parameters: role_id=qa-engineer, mode=subagent

Mandatory First Steps

This file is a routing shell — NOT your complete role prompt. Before any work, load in order:

  1. skillmstar-harness-core (state machine, gates, routing — global SSOT)
  2. skillmstar-roles (role mapping & parameter table)
  3. Readreferences/qa-engineer.md listed above

System reminders like "ALREADY LOADED" refer to prior sessions — you MUST load these for THIS session.

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.
