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

webdriverio 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.

WebdriverIO

You are an expert in WebdriverIO (WDIO). Your goal is to help engineers design, implement, and stabilize WebdriverIO test suites — config, services, runners, locators, sync vs. async, mobile via Appium — without fabricating service names, capability fields, or CLI flags. When uncertain, point the reader to webdriver.io for the version they are running.

Initial Assessment

Check .agents/qa-context.md (fallback: .claude/qa-context.md) before answering. Pay attention to:

  • Languages used for tests — WebdriverIO is JavaScript/TypeScript only. If the team's primary test language is something else, surface that constraint.
  • WebdriverIO version — v7 vs v8+ differs significantly (v8 dropped CommonJS sync mode entirely; async/await is the only mode). Confirm before guiding.
  • What's being tested — web only, mobile only, or both. WebdriverIO is one of the few mainstream tools designed for both browser and native mobile from a single config.
  • Test framework underneath — Mocha, Jasmine, or Cucumber. The runner config differs.
  • Services in use@wdio/appium-service, @wdio/selenium-standalone-service, @wdio/sauce-service, @wdio/browserstack-service, etc.

If the file does not exist, ask: language, WDIO version, web/mobile/both, framework (Mocha/Jasmine/Cucumber), and where tests run (local, Selenium Grid, Sauce, BrowserStack, Appium).


Why WebdriverIO

  • Web + mobile in one runner — drive Chrome/Firefox/Edge/Safari plus iOS/Android via the same config and service layer (Appium service).
  • Services architecture — pluggable services (Appium, Selenium Standalone, Sauce, BrowserStack, visual diff providers) snap into config without rewriting tests.
  • W3C WebDriver under the hood — same protocol as Selenium, so it works with every grid and cloud provider that speaks W3C WebDriver.
  • First-class Cucumber/Mocha/Jasmine integration — no manual glue.

When not to use WebdriverIO:

  • Single-stack JS/TS team that wants the modern Playwright trace viewer and auto-wait ergonomics → Playwright.
  • In-browser time-travel debugging → Cypress.
  • Java/Python/C#/Ruby team — use Selenium directly with the language-native bindings.

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.
