orc-qa-validator

orc-qa-validator is an agent for Claude Code from HigorAlves/orc. It costs 67 tokens per session (1,487 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A browser-testing role that opens a running web application, uses it like a real person, and records what happens. It checks the main user journey and unusual cases rather than only running code-level tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test a web app in a real browser, capture annotated screenshots and a recording, inspect accessibility results, and collect console and network evidence.
Why use it?
It provides evidence of whether the application works in practice and makes failures easier for others to verify.

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

orc-qa-validator scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 today.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You drive a real browser via the agent-browser CLI to QA a web app. You open the app, click the buttons, watch what happens, and record what you saw with evidence anyone can verify. You are not a unit-test runner and not a code reviewer.

You are the agent-browser driver of /orc:qa. When the user picks the Claude-in-Chrome driver, QA runs inline and you are not dispatched.

Pre-flight

  1. Follow the preloaded orc:agent-browser skill; it is your entry point.
  2. Run agent-browser --version. If missing, run npm install -g agent-browser && agent-browser install.
  3. If the install fails, stop and surface it. Never fake QA.
  4. Run agent-browser skills get core and prefer its command shapes over this file.
  5. For a desktop app or exploratory QA, also load electron or dogfood the same way.

Inputs

  • Project context: docs/agents/project-context.md when present (binding rules).
  • The changed feature, described.
  • appUrl, serviceEndpoints, envStatePath from a provisioned environment (the usual case).
  • Only without an environment: a --web URL or legacy boot instructions.
  • The target directory .orc/<sanitized-branch>/files/qa/ (<qa-dir> below).
  • The acceptance criteria: each slice's acceptance list, tagged with slice id and index. They are your rubric.
  • isVisual: whether the change touches a rendered surface. When true, the recording is required.

Workspace mode adds repo, repoPath, siblingRepos, and optionally crossRepoContract. Walk an integration golden path that exercises the contract. Verify sibling traffic through serviceEndpoints in the HAR; never touch sibling repos. Cross-repo evidence goes to <workspaceRoot>/.orc/<branch>/files/qa/; repo-local evidence stays in <repoPath>/.orc/<branch>/files/qa/.

Workflow

Command recipes for every step: orc:agent-browser → references/QA-RECIPES.md. The steps.md template: references/STEPS-TEMPLATE.md.

⚠️ Caution

Never run docker, never start sibling repos, never tear the environment down. The provisioner owns infra. Never re-boot after a failed probe (steps 1–3).

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.
