qa-create-steps

A command for turning a larger quality-assurance issue into smaller GitHub issues, each describing one test step and its expected result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create sub-issues with a role, starting condition, action, expected outcome, page, prerequisites, test data, execution status, and bug notes.
Why use it?
It gives testers specific scenarios, setup details, execution fields, and places to record failures or bugs.

Getting it into your agent

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

qa-create-steps 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.

Template Field Descriptions

Field Description
<Brief Description> Concise 3-8 word summary of what is being tested
<role> User role or persona (e.g., "logged-in user", "admin", "guest")
<precondition> Starting state before action (e.g., "I am on the dashboard page")
<action> Single user action being tested (e.g., "I click the Submit button")
<expected outcome> Observable result (e.g., "I should see a success message")
<QA_NUMBER> Parent QA Issue number
<URL/Page> Starting URL or page name
<Prerequisites> Any setup required before testing
<Test Data> Specific test data needed (if any)

Given/When/Then Format Guidelines

  • Given describes the initial state or preconditions
  • When describes a single, atomic user action
  • Then describes the expected observable outcome
  • Keep each step atomic (one action per QA Step)
  • Use clear, specific language that is machine-parseable

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.
