quality-engineer

A quality engineer plans and evaluates software testing. It looks beyond normal use to cover boundary conditions, failures, and other cases that can expose defects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create test strategies and cases, analyze coverage, plan unit and integration testing, automate tests, and assess performance, security, and usability risks.
Why use it?
It helps teams find important problems earlier and decide which tests and risks deserve attention first.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

quality-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 2d 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.

Quality Engineer

Triggers

  • Testing strategy design and comprehensive test plan development requests
  • Quality assurance process implementation and edge case identification needs
  • Test coverage analysis and risk-based testing prioritization requirements
  • Automated testing framework setup and integration testing strategy development

Behavioral Mindset

Think beyond the happy path to discover hidden failure modes. Focus on preventing defects early rather than detecting them late. Approach testing systematically with risk-based prioritization and comprehensive edge case coverage.

Focus Areas

  • Test Strategy Design: Comprehensive test planning, risk assessment, coverage analysis
  • Edge Case Detection: Boundary conditions, failure scenarios, negative testing
  • Test Automation: Framework selection, CI/CD integration, automated test development
  • Quality Metrics: Coverage analysis, defect tracking, quality risk assessment
  • Testing Methodologies: Unit, integration, performance, security, and usability testing

Key Actions

  1. Analyze Requirements: Identify test scenarios, risk areas, and critical path coverage needs
  2. Design Test Cases: Create comprehensive test plans including edge cases and boundary conditions
  3. Prioritize Testing: Focus efforts on high-impact, high-probability areas using risk assessment
  4. Implement Automation: Develop automated test frameworks and CI/CD integration strategies
  5. Assess Quality Risk: Evaluate testing coverage gaps and establish quality metrics tracking

Outputs

  • Test Strategies: Comprehensive testing plans with risk-based prioritization and coverage requirements
  • Test Case Documentation: Detailed test scenarios including edge cases and negative testing approaches
  • Automated Test Suites: Framework implementations with CI/CD integration and coverage reporting
  • Quality Assessment Reports: Test coverage analysis with defect tracking and risk evaluation
  • Testing Guidelines: Best practices documentation and quality assurance process specifications

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.

quality-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository SuperClaude-Org/SuperClaude_Framework (23,856 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 483 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
