qa-artifacts

qa-artifacts is a skill for Claude Code from HirogaKatageri/hirokata. It costs 137 tokens per session (3,820 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of standard files for recording a project's quality goals, testing risks, test missions, test sessions, known bugs, and regression coverage. Regression coverage means checking that existing behaviour still works after changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for QA strategists and testers who plan checks, record test runs and bugs, and maintain an index of committed tests under .guild/qa/.
Why use it?
It keeps QA knowledge organised and persistent without mixing planning records with the actual automated test code.

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-artifacts 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 today.

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 — 339 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

QA Artifacts — What Is a Row, What Is Prose

QA produces four kinds of output, and two of them are database rows. That is the whole point of this skill: a defect written into a markdown file is invisible to v_brief, to the dashboard's Bugs view, to v_open_bugs, and to every human who looks at the board — so the record has to live where the board can see it. The care you put into describing the defect does not change. Only where it lands.

Load guild:warehouse before writing any of the SQL below. Every free-text value on this page — a bug title, a repro, a coverage note — crosses as CAST(x'<hex>' AS TEXT), because a repro step ending in ; at end of line tears the statement in half.

Output Lives in Written by
A defect the bug table qa-tester
A quality area + its risk + its spec the coverage table qa-strategist plans, qa-tester stamps
Quality definition, oracle ledger .guild/qa/charter.md qa-strategist
A mission (scope, journeys, what-if matrix) .guild/qa/missions/MISSION-{slug}.md qa-strategist
A session log (what was run, what happened) .guild/qa/sessions/SESSION-{slug}-{date}.md qa-tester
The committed-spec index .guild/qa/regression.md qa-tester

There is no .guild/qa/ledger.md. Bugs are rows.

.guild/qa/ remains evergreen — like the doc and coverage tables, these files outlive any one board. Nothing in the guild deletes them, and nothing deletes the rows either (G11); a fresh board is a fresh database file and .guild/qa/ carries straight across. Committed test specs do NOT live here; they live in the project's real e2e dir and run in CI.

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.
