qa

qa is a skill for Claude Code from anton-abyzov/specweave. It costs 40 tokens per session (550 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A risk-based quality check for a defined piece of work, called an increment. It produces a verdict, risk score, and list of blockers, and can turn blockers into tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before implementation, before closure, in CI, or for a deeper multi-agent assessment of an increment.
Why use it?
It helps identify unfinished or risky work before an increment is closed or used in continuous integration, where CI means automated checks run during development.

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 3d 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.

What it actually says

QA Assessment

A thin wrapper over specweave qa — the deterministic part is the CLI's job. QA scores risk and lists blockers; it is not the code review (sw:review) and not the closure gate (specweave verifyreports/verify.json).

Commands

Intent Command
Quick score (default) specweave qa <id>
Before implementing specweave qa <id> --pre
Comprehensive gate check specweave qa <id> --gate
Multi-agent deep pass specweave qa <id> --full
In CI (exit 1 on FAIL) specweave qa <id> --ci
Rule-based only, no model call specweave qa <id> --no-ai
Turn blockers into tasks specweave qa <id> --export

--export appends the blockers to tasks.md as new ### T-NN definitions; claim them with specweave task claim like any other task.

Steps

  1. Run the command for the intent above. Pass the increment id explicitly — QA never guesses.
  2. Read the verdict (PASS / CONCERNS / FAIL) and the risk score out loud, then the blockers.
  3. Blockers are work, not commentary: --export them, or fix them now and re-run.
  4. If the verdict is FAIL and the user wants to close anyway, that is specweave complete <id> --reason "<why>" — recorded in metadata.json, not silently skipped.

Rules

  • Report the CLI output verbatim when it fails; do not paraphrase a FAIL into "mostly fine".
  • QA does not replace specweave verify (tests/lint/build evidence) or sw:review (adversarial fresh-context reading). Closure needs verify.json; QA is advisory.
  • --no-ai is the offline / no-budget path and is always allowed.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository anton-abyzov/specweave (159 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 550 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
