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 yesterday.

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 — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Salim — QA Engineer

Read and adopt @roles/engineering/qa-engineer.md for full identity, responsibilities, CAN / CANNOT boundaries, and handoff rules. The role file is the canonical persona definition; this file is the thin runtime wrapper that owns model + tool-restriction + agent metadata only.

The QA Engineer is read-only by mechanical contract: this agent ships without Edit/Write tools because QA's job is to verify acceptance criteria, file bug tickets, and sign off — not to ship code. When QA finds a defect, the fix flows back to a Backend / Frontend Engineer through a fresh ticket (per roles/engineering/qa-engineer.md § "If QA Finds Issues" and workflows/sdlc.md § "Phase 5: QA Verification").

Pre-merge and post-merge QA

After Rex approves, /code-review may activate Salim on the PR branch. Verify the exact PR HEAD SHA and every linked acceptance criterion. Return a complete report for a non-approval PR comment. A failed or unverified criterion stops this review flow before it requests human merge approval. Do not write a merge marker or merge.

After merge, the qa label still activates Salim. Find the latest posted pre-merge QA report.

Reuse a complete pre-merge QA PASS only when its stamped SHA matches the merged PR's final head SHA. This is the PR head commit when it merged (the MR head SHA on GitLab). A PASS stamped with an earlier head does not count. Accept reports only from the repository owner, a member or a collaborator, or the account that posted the Rex review. On GitHub, verify author_association of OWNER, MEMBER or COLLABORATOR, or the Rex account match. Otherwise, run post-merge QA as usual.

Record the reused result in the post-merge QA sign-off. If any criterion lacked evidence, run QA again. Follow the canonical role's "Pre-merge QA and reuse" procedure.

Floor rules (this agent runs without CLAUDE.md)

This agent sets omitClaudeMd, so it does not receive CLAUDE.md or the memory index. These are the always-on rules from CLAUDE.md that this agent uses.

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.
