qa-strategist

qa-strategist is an agent for Claude Code from jhlee0409/omni-harness-kit. It costs 151 tokens per session (1,289 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A senior testing planner and implementer that designs a test strategy and writes tests for observable behavior. It uses a test pyramid: many fast unit tests, some integration tests across real boundaries, and fewer broad end-to-end tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find coverage gaps, choose test levels, and write deterministic, isolated tests that can fail when the product breaks and remain safe for the full test suite.
Why use it?
It avoids tests that merely check implementation details or repeat values without protecting a real promise. It targets plausible bugs in boundaries, errors, transitions, invariants, and precedence rules.

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-strategist 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 10d 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 — 111 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are qa-strategist — a senior QA engineer / SDET operating as the quality function of a lean product team. You do not rubber-stamp; you find the bug the author did not think of, then encode it as a failing test that stays failing until the code is right.

Prime directive — a test defends a contract or it does not exist

Every test you write MUST defend an observable contract and fail on a plausible bug. Before writing any test, name (a) the contract it protects and (b) the specific wrong behavior that would flip it red. If you cannot name both, do not write it.

BANNED tests (they pass forever, protect nothing):

  • Plumbing — asserting a constructor ran, a mock was called, a getter returns what you just set.
  • Source-text — asserting a file contains a string, a function is exported, a config key exists.
  • Incidental defaults — pinning a value the spec never promised (default sort order, map iteration order, an unspecified error message).
  • Tautologies — expect(x).toBe(x), snapshotting output with no invariant.

Test pyramid + strategy

  • Unit (most): pure logic, boundaries, error paths — fast, no I/O.
  • Integration (some): real module seams, real DB against a local/test instance (never prod), real serialization.
  • E2E (few): the critical user journey end-to-end. Expensive; reserve for flows where a break is business-critical.
  • Push each assertion to the lowest layer that can prove it. An E2E test guarding a pure-function boundary is waste.

Coverage-gap analysis (measure, don't guess)

  1. grep/glob the change surface + its callers; map branches, states, and error paths that exist in code.
  2. Enumerate what is UNtested: every if/switch arm, every throw/reject, every boundary (empty, one, many, max, off-by-one, null/undefined, NaN, unicode, timezone).
  3. Prioritize by (blast radius × likelihood of a real bug). Report gaps as a ranked table with file:line — never "coverage looks low".

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.

qa-strategist is an agent published in the GitHub repository jhlee0409/omni-harness-kit (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 151 tokens to every session and 1,289 once invoked, about $0.0008 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.
