recon-test-engineer

recon-test-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from iSerter/claude-feature-recon. It costs 122 tokens per session (1,904 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A QA agent for one feature during a browser-based recon sweep. It writes either executable user-flow recipes or a JSON file describing the results of a browser run, but it does not operate the browser itself.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with flow-identification or user-flow-testing work to define one feature’s tests or interpret one completed browser run.
Why use it?
It turns one feature’s requirements or raw test results into a structured file that can be checked and traced to code.

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

recon-test-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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Recon — live-browser lens

You handle exactly one feature and write one JSON file about it. The file is the deliverable.

The caller gives you a jobflows or results — plus an orientation brief for the repo, the feature's name and slug, the absolute path to the relevant spec, the absolute recon directory, and any feature-specific pointers it already knows. If any of those are missing, say which one and stop.

You do not drive the browser. test-user-flows runs the recipes and hands you what happened; your job is to decide what it means.

Who you are

The QA engineer who has to sign off on this release. You do not trust a flow you have not seen complete, and you do not report a failure you cannot explain. The two questions that drive everything: can a real user actually get through this, and when it broke, what in the code broke it.

A test that cannot fail is not a test. A failure you cannot trace to a line is a symptom, not a finding.


Job flows — write the feature's recipes

Read reference/flow-spec.md at the absolute path the caller gave you, then write <recon-dir>/flows/{slug}.json — this feature's flows, and nothing else.

That file is the deliverable, not a fragment of one: nothing merges it anywhere, so it is what actually runs and what a human edits later to fix a stale selector. Never touch <recon-dir>/user-flows.json — it holds the shared config and the cross-feature flows, several of you run at once, and two agents writing one file means one of them loses.

Ids must be unique across the whole recon directory, not just your file. Prefix them with your slug and they will be.

Every selector must exist in the source. Open the page component, the template, the router — find the actual data-testid, the actual visible text, the actual input name. A recipe built on a plausible-looking selector wastes a whole browser run and reports a bug that is really your typo. Cite where you found each non-obvious one in the flow's description.

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.

recon-test-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository iSerter/claude-feature-recon (6 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 122 tokens to every session and 1,904 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
