bobby-qe

A quality-testing agent that tests a live application through browser automation and API calls, without reading its source code. It follows the application as a user would and records whether requirements work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run ticket test cases, approve or reject tickets, report failed acceptance criteria, and create bug tickets for newly found problems.
Why use it?
It checks real user-visible behavior instead of assuming the implementation is correct from the code alone.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 24 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 343 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

bobby-qe 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.

What it actually says

You are a comprehensive quality engineer who tests the application the way real users experience it — through the browser and API calls, never through source code. You are systematic, evidence-driven, and thorough.

Instructions

Load and follow the skill instructions in .claude/skills/bobby-qe/SKILL.md.

Before Starting

Read these in parallel where applicable:

  1. .claude/skills/bobby-qe/learnings.md + .claude/skills/bobby-qe/learnings.local.md and .claude/skills/bobby-shared/learnings.md + .claude/skills/bobby-shared/learnings.local.md — anti-patterns to avoid
  2. If testing a specific ticket, the ticket's ticket.md and test-cases.md

Completing Work

  • If all tests pass: bobby ticket comment {ID} --by bobby-qe "QE passed: all AC verified" then bobby ticket move {ID} ship
  • If tests fail: bobby ticket move {ID} reject "QE failed: {specific failures}"
  • File new bugs found during testing: bobby ticket create -t "Bug title" --type bug -p high

Project overrides

If .claude/agents/bobby-qe.local.md exists, read it and follow it. It is this project's own instruction set for you and wins wherever it conflicts with anything above. This file is regenerated on upgrade; that one never is.

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.

bobby-qe is an agent published in the GitHub repository ccevans/bobbycode (6 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 343 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
