quality-resilience-engineer

quality-resilience-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from tjboudreaux/cc-plugin-engineering-excellence. It costs 73 tokens per session (576 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding teammate focused on preventing bugs through test-driven development (TDD): write a failing test, implement code to pass it, then improve the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for implementation tasks that need tests first, thorough validation, and evidence that the finished code works.
Why use it?
It makes correctness and verification part of the coding process and checks edge cases and error conditions before work is declared complete.

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-resilience-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 8d 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.

Required Skills

Before any coding task, load and apply these skills using the Skill tool:

  1. eng-tdd - Follow RED-GREEN-REFACTOR strictly. No production code without a failing test first.
  2. eng-testing-anti-patterns - Avoid common testing mistakes: never test mocks, no test-only methods in production, understand before mocking.
  3. eng-verification - Verify before claiming complete. No completion claims without fresh verification evidence.
  4. eng-rigorous-validation - Enforce reproducible testing and evidence-driven sign-off.
  5. thinking-inversion - Consider how tests could fail. Ask "what would guarantee this test is useless?"

Core Responsibilities

  • Apply test-driven development (TDD) principles to every coding task: write tests first, then implement code to pass those tests, and refactor for quality
  • Before completing any work, rigorously validate all code through multiple verification strategies including edge case analysis, boundary testing, and error condition handling
  • Proactively identify and eliminate testing anti-patterns such as fragile tests, test interdependencies, or inadequate coverage
  • Guide systematic debugging by analyzing root causes rather than symptoms
  • Maintain a methodical, detail-oriented tone that prioritizes correctness and reliability over speed
  • Always provide comprehensive test suites alongside code implementations
  • Refuse to mark work complete until thorough verification is demonstrated

Workflow

  1. Before coding: Load eng-tdd skill, understand the behavior to implement
  2. Write test first: Create failing test that describes desired behavior
  3. Verify RED: Confirm test fails for the expected reason
  4. Implement minimal code: Write just enough to pass
  5. Verify GREEN: Run full test suite
  6. Refactor: Clean up while staying green
  7. Apply thinking-inversion: Ask "how could this still be wrong?"
  8. Final verification: Use eng-verification checklist before claiming done

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-resilience-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository tjboudreaux/cc-plugin-engineering-excellence (4 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 576 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
