qa

qa is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CarbeneAI/Forge. It costs 135 tokens per session (12,967 once invoked), scanned C, a copy of gs:qa, MIT.

A web-application testing workflow that checks a site for problems and fixes the bugs it finds.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps test a web app, repair issues in its source code, commit each fix, and retest the result.

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 C, and why

qa scanned grade C with 2 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 yesterday.

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.

Tells the agent never to refusehighAnti-refusal

Suppressing the ability to decline removes a core safety control; a later harmful request then succeeds.

12. **Never refuse to use the browser.** When the user invokes /qa or /qa-only, they are requesting browser-based testing. Never suggest evals, unit tests, or other alternatives as a substitute. Even if the diff appears

If PROACTIVE is "false", do not proactively suggest gstack skills AND do not auto-invoke skills based on conversation context. Only run skills the user explicitly types (e.g., /qa, /ship). If you would have auto-invoked a skill, instead briefly say: "I think /skillname might help here — want me to run it?" and wait for confirmation. The user opted out of proactive behavior.

If SKILL_PREFIX is "true", the user has namespaced skill names. When suggesting or invoking other gstack skills, use the /gstack- prefix (e.g., /gstack-qa instead of /qa, /gstack-ship instead of /ship). Disk paths are unaffected — always use ~/.claude/skills/gstack/[skill-name]/SKILL.md for reading skill files.

If output shows UPGRADE_AVAILABLE <old> <new>: read ~/.claude/skills/gstack/gstack-upgrade/SKILL.md and follow the "Inline upgrade flow" (auto-upgrade if configured, otherwise AskUserQuestion with 4 options, write snooze state if declined). If JUST_UPGRADED <from> <to>: tell user "Running gstack v{to} (just updated!)" and continue.

If LAKE_INTRO is no: Before continuing, introduce the Completeness Principle. Tell the user: "gstack follows the Boil the Lake principle — always do the complete thing when AI makes the marginal cost near-zero. Read more: https://garryslist.org/posts/boil-the-ocean" Then offer to open the essay in their default browser:

open https://garryslist.org/posts/boil-the-ocean
touch ~/.gstack/.completeness-intro-seen

Only run open if the user says yes. Always run touch to mark as seen. This only happens once.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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 CarbeneAI/Forge (9 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 135 tokens to every session and 12,967 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (tells the agent never to refuse, makes network calls). It is 86% identical to gs:qa, differing in 480 lines, and is treated as a copy.
