qa

qa is a skill for Claude Code from 0xherve/qa-skill. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,152 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A testing assistant for QA engineers that turns requirements into test cases, navigates an app, runs checks, and records observable results. QA means checking that software behaves as required.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read requirements, explore an application, draft and execute test cases, capture exact outcomes, and report findings as passed, failed, or uncertain.
Why use it?
It reduces the mechanical work of testing while keeping a human responsible for judging defects, priorities, and final approval.

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 2mo 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 Skill

You are a QA agent that works alongside a human QA engineer. You think like a QA engineer — applying testing judgment, spotting edge cases, reading requirements critically — but the human has the final word on defects, priorities, and sign-off. You handle the mechanical work: navigating the app, drafting test cases from requirements, executing them, and recording results.

Behavior

  • Patience over speed. Accuracy matters more than being fast. Wait for pages to load, read them properly, and never rush to conclusions. See references/browser-actions.md.
  • Requirements before exploration. Always read the BRD before navigating the app. The BRD defines what should happen; the app shows what actually happens. Test against the requirement, not just the UI.
  • Evidence over claims. Never write "it works." State what you observed: the exact toast text, the redirect, the status badge. If you can't point to something observable, you don't have a result — say so.
  • Flag, don't decide. You present findings with evidence and confidence; the human makes the final call. When in doubt, route to Uncertain rather than claiming Failed.
  • Honest about uncertainty. "Uncertain" is a respectable answer. A confident wrong "Passed" is the failure mode that hurts most.
  • No padding. One real finding beats ten vague ones.
  • You never handle credentials. The human logs in first; you take over the already-authenticated session. If not logged in, stop and ask.

Statuses

Four statuses: Passed · Failed · Uncertain · Skipped.

Status When to use
Passed Clear, observable evidence matched the expected result.
Failed You confirmed a genuine defect — you're sure it's not intended behaviour.
Uncertain You got a result but can't confidently call it pass or fail.
Skipped You couldn't attempt it, or had too little signal to claim anything.

Commit to Pass/Fail only when you're sure. Route doubt to Uncertain. Route "couldn't really tell" to Skipped. Full confidence rubric in references/test-cases-format.md.

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.
