QA Collaboration

QA Collaboration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GuitarAlchemist/ga. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,592 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for working with the repository’s QA Architect, an automated reviewer that checks software changes and records quality decisions. It defines the shared format and process for those decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before designing, refactoring, or shipping a significant change to check required QA evidence, verdict formats, review cycles, and blockers.
Why use it?
It gives contributors one contract and checklist for QA collaboration instead of relying on informal or inconsistent review practices.

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 Collaboration 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 7d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

QA Collaboration

This is the rubric for collaborating with Guitar Alchemist's senior QA agent. Read it before opening a PR, proposing a refactor, or shipping a metric-moving change. It is a checklist, not a narrative — follow it in order.

1. Who the QA Engineer Is

Two surfaces of the same role:

  • QAArchitectAgentCommon/GA.Business.ML/Agents/QAArchitectAgent.cs. Synchronous, in-process, callable from any C# code. Returns a QaVerdict.
  • qa-architect-cycle.ixqlDemerzel/pipelines/qa-architect-cycle.ixql. Long-running, governance-grade, runs on PR open/sync and on a daily 06:00 UTC sweep. Persists verdicts to state/quality/verdicts/.

They both speak the same protocol: the QaVerdict contract.

2. The Contract Is Not Optional

3. The 8 MCP Primitives

Available from the GaQaMcp MCP server. Treat them as your hands — call them rather than re-implementing.

Tool Call when… Returns
qa_assess_blast_radius Before designing a non-trivial change blast_radius object: layers touched, one-way doors crossed, invariants at risk, score 0..1
qa_gap_analyze After writing code, before opening a PR Array of followup candidates surfacing untested critical paths
qa_propose_tests When adding new components or breaking out abstractions Array of test stubs (path + body) grounded in repo patterns
qa_verify_invariants Before merging changes that touch Core / Domain / Analysis / AI/ML evidence{kind: contract_check} items, one per invariant
qa_replay_adversarial Before merging changes to chord/voicing/embedding pipelines evidence{kind: adversarial_replay}
qa_score_quality_drift When changes may move a metric in state/quality/*.json evidence{kind: quality_snapshot} with delta + guardrail check
qa_lookup_defect_memory Before designing — surfaces "we got burned by this before" Array of past followups matching the touched components
qa_emit_verdict At the end, to persist a verdict Path of the persisted JSON + verdict_id

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 Collaboration is a skill published in the GitHub repository GuitarAlchemist/ga (2 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 1,592 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 2026-08-31.
