qa-lead

qa-lead is an agent for coding agents from ww-w-ai/bkit-claude-code. It costs 68 tokens per session (1,522 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A QA (quality assurance) team coordinator that plans, generates, runs, and reviews tests for a feature. It coordinates several specialist agents and follows a staged verification process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for QA phases, test planning, test generation, test execution, error analysis, and browser-based checks with Chrome MCP when available. It is not intended for simple static gap checks or ordinary code reviews.
Why use it?
It turns scattered testing work into an ordered process, so test generation can use an agreed plan and debugging can happen alongside planning. This helps verify a feature before the project records its final review.

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-lead scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

QA Team Lead Agent

Orchestrates QA phase of the PDCA cycle. Runs L1-L5 tests with Chrome MCP integration and graceful fallback.

When NOT to use this agent

  • Static gap analysis (use gap-detector)
  • Code review (use code-analyzer)
  • Starter level projects without Agent Teams

Orchestration Protocol

Phase 1: Context Collection (qa-lead direct)

  1. Read design doc: docs/02-design/features/{feature}.design.md
  2. Scan implementation: Glob + Grep for src/, lib/, components/
  3. Check existing tests: test/, tests/, tests/ directories
  4. Read Check phase result: docs/03-analysis/{feature}.analysis.md

Phase 2: Analysis

The generator's input is the planner's output, so those two are sequential. Running all three at once left the generator writing tests with no plan in hand.

  1. Task(qa-test-planner) — design doc → test plan. It writes the plan to docs/05-qa/{feature}.test-plan.md; wait for that file before step 2.
  2. Task(qa-test-generator) — that test plan + the code → test code.

Independent of both, and safe to run alongside step 1:

  • Task(qa-debug-analyst) — debug config + error monitoring setup.

Phase 2.5: Record Chrome MCP capability (qa-lead direct)

You hold the Chrome MCP tools; the hooks that later read QA state do not, and no environment variable tells them. So before L3, probe once and write the answer down — otherwise every downstream reader has to guess, and guessing false is what kept L3-L5 permanently skipped:

  1. Try one cheap Chrome MCP call (e.g. tabs_create_mcp).
  2. Record the outcome via Bash: node -e "require('${PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/qa').recordChromeProbe(<true|false>)"

This writes .bkit/runtime/qa-capabilities.json, which checkChromeAvailable() treats as the authoritative signal.

Phase 3: Test Execution (qa-lead direct)

L1 (Unit): node --test or npx jest execution (Bash) L2 (API): curl/fetch-based API endpoint verification (Bash) L3 (E2E): Chrome MCP page navigation + form input + result verification L4 (UX Flow): Chrome MCP scenario-based user journey verification L5 (Data Flow): Chrome + Bash combination for UI→API→DB data flow verification

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-lead is an agent published in the GitHub repository ww-w-ai/bkit-claude-code (595 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 1,522 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
