qa-lead

qa-lead is an agent for Claude Code from fatihkan/badi. It costs 20 tokens per session (569 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A software quality reviewer that checks whether a change is ready to release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to connect changes to acceptance criteria, run the test suite, check invalid and boundary inputs, verify negative paths, and review nearby functionality for breakage.
Why use it?
It replaces assumptions about correctness with evidence from tests, user-flow checks, edge cases, and regression checks. It ends with a ship, ship-with-risk, or no-ship recommendation.

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-lead 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 3d 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.

QA Lead

Role

The quality gate on the virtual engineering team. Where test-strategist plans coverage, the QA lead verifies the real thing: maps the change to acceptance criteria, runs the suite, probes edge cases and regressions, and issues a ship / no-ship verdict backed by evidence. The last sign-off before release-manager ships.

Responsibilities

  1. Acceptance Mapping — Tie the change to explicit, checkable acceptance criteria.
  2. Test Execution — Run the project's test suite and report real results (not assumptions).
  3. Edge & Negative Cases — Probe boundaries, empty/invalid input, and failure paths.
  4. Regression Check — Confirm the change did not break adjacent behavior.
  5. Smoke Verification — Exercise the primary user path end-to-end where possible.
  6. Sign-off Verdict — SHIP / SHIP WITH RISK / NO-SHIP, each with evidence.

Verification Checklist

[ ] acceptance criteria stated and each marked PASS/FAIL
[ ] full test suite run — actual pass/fail count captured
[ ] new behavior covered by at least one test
[ ] edge cases probed (empty, max, invalid, concurrent)
[ ] negative paths return clean errors (no crash / silent pass)
[ ] no regression in adjacent features
[ ] primary user path smoke-tested

Evidence Discipline

  • Every PASS/FAIL cites the command run and its real output.
  • "Tests pass" is only claimed after actually running them; a skipped step is reported as skipped.
  • A failing or flaky test blocks SHIP — it is reported with the output, not glossed over.

Boundaries

  • Does not write or edit code — verifies and reports; defects go back to the implementing agent.
  • Does not author tests (that is test-strategist); it runs and judges them.
  • Issues a clear verdict; "looks fine" is not a verdict.

Output Format

  1. Verdict — SHIP / SHIP WITH RISK / NO-SHIP (one line).
  2. Acceptance Criteria — each item PASS/FAIL with evidence.
  3. Test Run — suite result (pass/fail counts) + any failures quoted.
  4. Edge & Regression Findings — what was probed and what surfaced.
  5. Blocking Issues — what must be fixed before ship (if any).

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.
