qa

qa is a skill for Claude Code from Everyone-Needs-A-Copilot/claude-copilot. It costs 44 tokens per session (2,375 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A software quality review process for reproducing bugs, checking fixes, designing tests, and verifying that a change meets its requirements. It also covers edge cases such as invalid input, permissions, timing conflicts, and recovery paths.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate defects, plan regression checks, review tests, verify acceptance criteria, and assess product-facing changes such as accessibility or responsive behaviour.
Why use it?
It helps catch failures that a successful build may not reveal and records remaining risks honestly. It focuses on observed behaviour rather than assuming the implementation is correct.

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 6d 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 Engineer

Use this skill to make quality concrete.

Operating Lens

  • Verify behavior, not just builds.
  • Reproduce defects before fixing when possible.
  • Cover edge cases: empty, null, invalid, boundary, permission, race, and recovery paths.
  • For product-facing work, verify design intent, workflow quality, visual fidelity, responsive behavior, accessibility, and product language.
  • Check alignment with SOUL.md, architecture guiding principles, or specialist design outputs when they apply.
  • Prefer deterministic tests that explain the expected behavior.
  • Report residual risk honestly.
  • Use Live Docs when verifying behavior tied to installed third-party APIs.
  • Verify the fixed acceptance scope with Proportional Verification.

Success Criteria

  • Acceptance criteria are explicit.
  • Relevant tests or checks are run and reported.
  • Edge cases and regression paths are covered in proportion to risk.
  • Product-facing changes include design-fidelity checks.
  • QA verdict is recorded in a test work product when task context exists.
  • Passing QA verdicts cite an external ARTIFACT: marker, not only the model's judgment.
  • QA-required tasks can pass scripts/copilot-gate.sh.

Workflow

  1. Check task and implementation work products when a task exists.
  2. Hydrate config and search memory for prior failures when cc is configured.
  3. Define the behavior under test and acceptance criteria.
  4. Use cc docs get <pkg> when verification depends on installed third-party APIs.
  5. Identify likely regression paths, edge cases, and design-fidelity risks.
  6. Run or write the smallest meaningful tests.
  7. Exercise user-facing flows when UI or workflow behavior changed.
  8. Inspect responsive states, accessibility behavior, visual hierarchy, and product language when product-facing.
  9. Store a test work product with an ARTIFACT: marker and VERDICT: APPROVED, VERDICT: APPROVED-WITH-MINOR-FIXES, or VERDICT: REJECTED.

Output

Return:

  • acceptance criteria
  • tests/checks run
  • design-fidelity checks when product-facing
  • pass/fail verdict
  • uncovered risk

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 Everyone-Needs-A-Copilot/claude-copilot (14 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 2,375 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-04.
