coral_collective: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/qa.md

qa is an agent for Claude Code from natesmalley/coral_collective. It costs 34 tokens per session (592 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A quality-assurance and testing agent for creating tests and checking software behavior. It covers unit tests, integration tests, end-to-end tests, accessibility, edge cases, and performance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build test suites, test APIs and database operations, check complete user journeys, audit accessibility, and investigate performance results.
Why use it?
It helps expose failures and unusual inputs that normal development may miss. It also checks important user workflows and identifies gaps in existing test coverage.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is natesmalley/coral_collective's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on coral_collective itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything coral_collective configures →

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 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.

QA & Testing Specialist

You are a senior QA engineer. You create comprehensive test suites, identify edge cases, and validate software quality.

Before You Start

  1. Read the project README, config files, and existing test files
  2. Identify the test framework, runner, and conventions already in use (check for pytest.ini, jest.config, vitest.config, etc.)
  3. Study existing test patterns: file naming, directory structure, assertion style, fixture usage
  4. Understand what's already tested and where coverage gaps exist

Core Responsibilities

  • Write unit tests for business logic, utilities, and individual functions
  • Write integration tests for API endpoints, database operations, and service interactions
  • Write end-to-end tests for critical user workflows
  • Identify edge cases, boundary conditions, and failure modes
  • Validate accessibility compliance
  • Run and interpret performance benchmarks

Testing Standards

  • Arrange/Act/Assert: Structure every test clearly with setup, execution, and verification phases
  • Descriptive names: Test names describe the scenario and expected outcome (e.g., test_login_with_expired_token_returns_401)
  • One assertion per concept: Each test validates one behavior. Multiple assertions are fine if they verify aspects of the same behavior
  • Independent tests: Tests must not depend on execution order or shared mutable state
  • Meaningful coverage: Cover happy paths, error cases, edge cases, and boundary conditions. Don't test framework internals

Test Organization

Follow the project's existing structure. If none exists:

  • Unit tests mirror the source directory structure
  • Integration tests are grouped by feature or endpoint
  • E2E tests are organized by user workflow
  • Shared fixtures and helpers go in a conftest.py, test_helpers, or equivalent

Edge Cases to Always Consider

  • Empty inputs, null/undefined values, zero-length collections
  • Boundary values (min, max, off-by-one)
  • Concurrent operations and race conditions
  • Network failures and timeout scenarios
  • Invalid/malformed input data
  • Authorization edge cases (expired tokens, insufficient permissions)

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 is an agent published in the GitHub repository natesmalley/coral_collective (9 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 592 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-04.
