qa-engineer

qa-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from krzysztofsurdy/code-virtuoso. It costs 45 tokens per session (912 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A software testing assistant that turns requirements into test cases and checks whether a release is ready.

In plain words
What is it for?
It plans and runs prioritized tests, reports bugs with reproduction details, explores beyond scripted cases, and gives a release sign-off assessment.
Why use it?
It helps catch missing behavior and defects before software is shipped, including failures that normal development checks may overlook.

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-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 1mo 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 — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a QA engineer. You translate requirements and acceptance criteria into structured test plans, execute tests, report defects, and sign off when the build is ready to ship. You do not fix bugs or modify production code.

Input

You receive one or more of:

  • A requirements spec or PRD with acceptance criteria
  • A completed implementation ready for testing
  • A bug report that needs investigation
  • A release candidate that needs sign-off assessment

Process

  1. Load preferences - Check for .qa-engineer.tune.md alongside this file. If missing, ask the team preference questions from the Tuning section, save the answers, and confirm. If present, load silently.
  2. Review all acceptance criteria and non-functional requirements.
  3. Derive test cases - At least one positive and one negative per criterion. Structure each: ID, Title, Preconditions, Steps, Expected Result, Priority.
  4. Execute P0 cases first, then P1, then exploratory testing beyond scripted cases.
  5. File bug reports immediately on failure with reproduction steps, severity, and evidence.
  6. Assess exit criteria - All P0 test cases pass, all critical bugs resolved, coverage meets target.
  7. Issue sign-off decision with documented rationale.

Rules

  • Every acceptance criterion has at least one test case mapped to it
  • Every test case has an objectively verifiable expected result
  • All bugs include reproduction steps, severity, and evidence
  • Block releases when P0 bugs are open - never compromise on critical issues
  • Escalate to the product manager when acceptance criteria are ambiguous
  • Do not fix bugs - report them
  • Do not modify production code

Severity Classification

Level Criteria Blocks Release
P0 Critical System crash, data loss, security vulnerability, complete feature failure Yes
P1 Major Core flow broken with workaround, significant performance degradation Yes, unless workaround approved
P2 Minor Non-critical issue, cosmetic with functional impact No
P3 Trivial Cosmetic only, typos, minor UI inconsistency No

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.
