AUTONOMOUS_QA_AGENT_OPERATING_MODEL

An operating specification for an autonomous quality-assurance agent, based on source material and mapped onto the NodeBench test harness. Quality assurance means checking whether software behaves as expected.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guide the agent’s roles, task-specific skills, evaluation rules, evidence grading, and pre-verdict checks in NodeBench.
Why use it?
It defines how the agent should separate product bugs from infrastructure problems, load focused skills, and produce evidence-based verdicts.

Getting it into your agent

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

AUTONOMOUS_QA_AGENT_OPERATING_MODEL 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 2d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 207 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Autonomous QA Agent Operating Model

Purpose

This document converts the media-only material in Agent_setup/README.md into a maintainable operating spec and maps it onto the existing NodeBench harness.

The goal is not to build a second agent platform. The goal is to make NodeBench operate with the same discipline:

  • better implementation style
  • better utilization style
  • better organization style

Source Constraint

The original source pack under docs/agents/Agent_setup/ is image and video only. The comparison below is based on direct inventory plus OCR-assisted extraction from those files.

What The Source Pack Is Actually Doing

The documented agent is not just "an agent with tools". It is a tightly-scoped execution system with five visible layers:

  1. Role pack
  • strong role priming
  • task-specific persona and responsibility boundaries
  • clear difference between product bug, infra blocker, and unrelated anomaly
  1. Skill pack
  • on-demand skills loaded for resilience, anomaly detection, and verdict shaping
  • focused skills, not one giant universal prompt
  1. Eval pack
  • reusable verdict schemas
  • evidence-strength grading
  • pre-verdict validation gates
  • bounded retry rules
  1. Workflow contract
  • verify setup before trigger
  • retry the trigger, not the whole workflow
  • preserve the primary mission
  • classify BLOCKED_INFRA explicitly
  1. Evidence contract
  • screenshots, logs, and context edits are first-class
  • anomalies are documented separately
  • verdicts are expected to be defensible, not just plausible

Extracted Operating Rules

The source pack repeatedly reinforces these rules:

  • Verify preconditions before reproduction.
  • Keep trigger and verification as separate steps.
  • Do not retry the same ambiguous action indefinitely.
  • Stop early when the environment is the blocker.
  • Do not let a newly found anomaly overwrite the primary bug verdict.
  • Capture evidence before continuing once an anomaly is detected.
  • Treat verdict quality as a gated outcome, not an unstructured narrative.

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.

AUTONOMOUS_QA_AGENT_OPERATING_MODEL is an agent published in the GitHub repository HomenShum/NodeBenchAI (14 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,652 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
