browser-qa

browser-qa is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HigorAlves/orc. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,977 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 5d 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 — 72 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 — Provision or attach the environment

Skip when --web <url> or --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.

The environment stays up after QA — the "QA partial → fix → re-run" loop attaches in seconds. Teardown belongs to /orc:cleanup. Then 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 1 — 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 (record the answer via orc-state decision set driver <v> --provenance asked — re-runs keep the same driver unless the user asks to switch):

> **⛔ Gate — browser driver**
>
> Web QA is ready to run against <appUrl>. Pick how to drive the browser.
  • agent-browser CLI (headless) — richest evidence: annotated screenshots, network HAR, request mocking for failure-state testing, and a WebM recording when ffmpeg is installed; runs isolated from your browsing. Best for thorough pre-PR gates and CI-like rigor.
  • Claude-in-Chrome extension (watch live) — the test runs in YOUR Chrome; you see every click as it happens, with your real sessions, cookies, and extensions, and the GIF recording needs no external tooling. Best when you want to visually follow the flow or the app needs an already-logged-in state.

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.
