browser-qa

browser-qa is a skill for Claude Code from HigorAlves/orc. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,323 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A standard procedure for checking web changes in a browser, including starting or connecting to a test environment, driving the browser, and collecting evidence. It supports headless browser testing and live Chrome testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to open pages, interact with web interfaces, validate changes, and capture screenshots or other QA evidence during a development workflow.
Why use it?
It gives web checks a consistent setup and validation process instead of leaving each change to ad hoc manual testing. It also records evidence for QA results and follow-up fixes.

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

browser-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Browser QA

The single source of truth for driving browser QA — /orc:qa and /orc:flow both execute this protocol instead of restating it. Inputs from the caller: the feature description, the state dir, --driver/--web/--no-env flags when given, and (workspace mode) the web-surface repo + siblings.

Step 0 — Resolve the target

Invoke orc:qa-targets: --target / --web / settled decision / the Target gate. Result: a target name (plus a --base-url override when one applies) and guard. The resolved JSON is never produced here — the engine resolves it inline in the command that consumes it (orc:qa-targets iron rule). Remote target ⇒ probe; unreachable ⇒ 🛑 Escalation — target unreachable, stop.

Step 1 — Provision or attach the environment (local target only)

Skip for remote targets and under --no-env. Check orc-docker-env is-ready $(orc-docker-env state-path "$ORC_STATE_DIR" <sanitized-branch>):

  • ready → attach; echo the reuse line (project, appUrl, "reused").
  • otherwise → dispatch orc-env-provisioner via Task (repoPath = the worktree; workspace mode adds repos[], webSurfaceRepo, plan path). On fallback: re-print the agent's ⚠️ callout and continue. On failed: re-print the 🛑 callout and AskUserQuestion — retry / retry --fresh / continue with --no-env legacy boot / abort QA.

Record <appUrl> as the --base-url override for the local target (the engine resolves inline). The environment stays up after QA — the "QA partial → fix → re-run" loop attaches in seconds. Teardown belongs to /orc:cleanup. Init ${ORC_STATE_DIR}/<sanitized-branch>/files/qa/; in workspace mode, cross-repo integration evidence goes there while per-repo QA stays at <repoPath>/.orc/<branch>/files/qa/.

Step 1b — Choose the driver

If --driver was passed or the session has a settled driver decision, use it silently. Otherwise print the Gate headline, then AskUserQuestion (re-runs keep the same driver unless the user asks to switch):

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.

browser-qa is a skill published in the GitHub repository HigorAlves/orc (7 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 1,323 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 2026-08-31.
