qa-issue-spec

Instructions for turning a software issue or feature request into a complete quality-assurance package. QA means checking that software behaves correctly and continues to work after changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to prepare test scenarios, functional specifications, acceptance criteria, Gherkin cases, regression coverage, risks, test data, and open questions before implementation or testing.
Why use it?
They ensure the issue is researched against the repository and linked context, while separating confirmed facts, inferences, and unknowns instead of silently inventing rules.

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-issue-spec 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 yesterday.

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

QA Issue Spec

Produce a complete, execution-ready QA package for a single issue.

Treat the issue as the source of truth, then enrich it with repository evidence and linked context. Read the issue title, body, comments, linked files, related code, existing tests, flags, migrations, schemas, and nearby modules before drafting the output.

Do not stop at a short checklist. Deliver a full package that a QA engineer, developer, or product manager can use immediately.

Operating principles

  • Distinguish clearly between:
    • explicit facts from the issue or codebase
    • inferred behavior based on context
    • unknowns that need confirmation
  • Do not invent product rules silently. When a rule is missing, state the assumption.
  • Prefer risk-based coverage over exhaustive noise.
  • Favor concrete system behavior over generic QA advice.
  • Reuse repository terminology exactly as found in the issue and codebase.
  • When existing tests already cover part of the behavior, call that out and avoid duplicating them blindly.

Workflow

Follow this sequence.

1. Understand the issue

Fetch completo obrigatório — comandos (GitLab default):

# 1. Body completo + metadata (labels, milestone, assignees, state, dates, web_url)
glab issue view <N> --output json

# 2. Todos os comentários/notas (decisões, feedback, mudanças de scope)
glab issue view <N> --comments

# 3. MRs já vinculados à issue (contexto de implementação existente)
glab api "projects/:id/issues/<N>/related_merge_requests" 2>/dev/null || true

# 4. Issues relacionadas (parent, blocker, linked — entender fronteiras)
glab api "projects/:id/issues/<N>/links" 2>/dev/null || true

Exceção web/your-github-project (GitHub):

gh issue view <N> --json number,title,body,state,labels,milestone,assignees,url,comments
gh api "repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/<N>/timeline" --jq '.[] | select(.event=="cross-referenced")' 2>/dev/null || true

Campos obrigatórios a consumir:

Campo Uso no QA package
description (body) Requisitos, AC, user stories, contexto
notes / comments Decisões de scope, feedback, esclarecimentos
labels Prioridade (determina p0/p1/p2), tipo (bug vs feature), área
milestone Ciclo de entrega, timeline
assignees Contacto para open questions
related MRs Implementação já feita (ajustar QA ao que existe)
linked issues Parent/blocker — entender scope e fronteiras
source_plan Se presente no body, ler plano para contexto completo

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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-issue-spec is a skill published in the GitHub repository Joaonic/agentkit (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 2,804 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
