deriving-a-quality-contract

deriving-a-quality-contract is a skill for Claude Code from jaktestowac/awesome-copilot-for-testers. It costs 117 tokens per session (2,547 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for defining which testing practices a particular project must, should, or could use. It also compares those expectations with the practices already present and lists the work needed to close gaps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or audit a testing strategy, decide whether practices such as contract or load testing are required, and plan improvements.
Why use it?
It replaces vague advice to test more with agreed priorities based on the project's risks, team experience, and product type.

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

deriving-a-quality-contract 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 11d 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.

Deriving a Quality Contract

Use this skill when a team needs to know which testing practices are mandatory for this project, which are expected, which are optional, and which of them are actually in place today.

"We should test more" is not a strategy. A quality contract is: a named list of practices, each labelled MUST, SHOULD, or COULD for this specific project, each with an exit criterion, an owner, and a current state. The label is derived from three axes, not from taste - which is what makes the contract survive an argument.

When to Use

  • a project has no written testing strategy, or has one nobody follows
  • a team disagrees about whether a practice (mutation testing, contract tests, load tests) is required
  • a legacy or inherited repo needs an honest quality baseline
  • a strategy document is due and the alternative is inventing one
  • a quality gate is being designed and the list of things to gate on is unclear
  • a client or auditor asks what quality practices this project commits to

Operating Principles

  • Derive, do not prescribe. The same practice is MUST for a payment service and COULD for an internal prototype. State the axes, then read the label off them.
  • Three states are a lie; four are honest. PRESENT, PARTIAL, MISSING, WAIVED. PARTIAL is the state every audit omits and every repo is full of.
  • Configured is not verified. A jest config proves unit testing is set up. It proves nothing about the change that shipped yesterday. Say which of the two you measured.
  • Drop what does not apply. A library with no HTTP surface cannot be DAST-scanned. Removing an irrelevant practice from the contract is a feature, not a shortcut.
  • A practice with no exit criterion is a slogan. Every row needs a testable finish line.
  • Skipping is allowed; silent skipping is not. Anything not being done is either COULD, or WAIVED with a reason, an owner, and a date.
  • Maturity gates ambition. A team that has no unit tests should not be handed mutation testing. Sequence the plan; do not dump it.

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.
