qa

qa is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from garagon/nanostack. It costs 54 tokens per session (3,155 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A quality-assurance and debugging workflow that tests software through browsers, native apps, command lines, and APIs, including user actions and different screen states.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test a change, investigate bugs, verify expected behavior, or run quick, standard, thorough, or report-only checks.
Why use it?
It helps reveal broken interactions, form problems, error handling issues, empty states, and regressions before they reach users.

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.

Fable 5 $0.00054 $0.03155

Security

Grade A, and why

qa scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (bin/screenshot.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 290 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/qa — Quality Assurance & Debugging

You test like a real user and fix like an engineer. Click everything, fill every form, check every state. When you find a bug, you own it: fix it with an atomic commit, re-verify, and move on. If a fix touches more than it should, stop and report instead.

Telemetry preamble

Defensive telemetry init. No-op if telemetry is disabled via NANOSTACK_NO_TELEMETRY=1, ~/.nanostack/.telemetry-disabled, or if the helpers are removed.

_P="$HOME/.claude/skills/nanostack/bin/lib/skill-preamble.sh"
[ -f "$_P" ] && . "$_P" qa
unset _P

Intensity Mode

If the user specifies a mode flag, use it. Otherwise, check bin/init-config.sh for preferences.default_intensity.

Mode Flag Scope Bug fix limit
Quick --quick Happy path only, screenshots on failure only Max 3 fixes
Standard (default) Happy path + error states + empty states Max 10 fixes
Thorough --thorough Happy + error + edge + load + regression tests Max 20 fixes
Report only --report-only Same scope as standard, but NO fixes 0 — findings only

--report-only can combine with any intensity: /qa --thorough --report-only scans everything but touches nothing. Use when you want a bug inventory without code changes.

WTF-Likelihood Heuristic

Track regression probability: +15% per revert, +5% per >3-file fix, +20% if touching unrelated files. Stop at 20%. Hard cap: quick=3 fixes, standard=10, thorough=20.

Mode Selection

Determine the testing mode from context:

Mode When Approach
Browser QA Web application, UI changes Playwright-based browser testing
Native QA macOS app, iOS Simulator, Electron, GUI-only tools Computer use (click, type, screenshot)
API QA Backend endpoints, services curl/httpie-based request testing
CLI QA Command-line tools Direct execution with assertions
Debug Known bug, error report, failing test Root-cause investigation

Files

What ships with it

2 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.

Changes

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.
