qa

qa is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JustineDevs/premortem. It costs 58 tokens per session (1,063 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of qa, Apache-2.0.

A conversational quality-assurance workflow for turning a user's description of a bug into a clear GitHub issue after checking the codebase for context.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reporting bugs, clarifying expected and actual behavior, gathering reproduction details, and filing user-focused issues.
Why use it?
It helps preserve what the user actually experienced while adding enough detail for the development team to investigate it.

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

QA Session

Run an interactive QA session. The user describes problems they're encountering. You clarify, explore the codebase for context, and file GitHub issues that are durable, user-focused, and use the project's domain language.

For each issue the user raises

1. Listen and lightly clarify

Let the user describe the problem in their own words. Ask at most 2-3 short clarifying questions focused on:

  • What they expected vs what actually happened
  • Steps to reproduce (if not obvious)
  • Whether it's consistent or intermittent

Do NOT over-interview. If the description is clear enough to file, move on.

2. Explore the codebase in the background

While talking to the user, kick off an Agent (subagent_type=Explore) in the background to understand the relevant area. The goal is NOT to find a fix — it's to:

  • Learn the domain language used in that area (check UBIQUITOUS_LANGUAGE.md)
  • Understand what the feature is supposed to do
  • Identify the user-facing behavior boundary

This context helps you write a better issue — but the issue itself should NOT reference specific files, line numbers, or internal implementation details.

3. Assess scope: single issue or breakdown?

Before filing, decide whether this is a single issue or needs to be broken down into multiple issues.

Break down when:

  • The fix spans multiple independent areas (e.g. "the form validation is wrong AND the success message is missing AND the redirect is broken")
  • There are clearly separable concerns that different people could work on in parallel
  • The user describes something that has multiple distinct failure modes or symptoms

Keep as a single issue when:

  • It's one behavior that's wrong in one place
  • The symptoms are all caused by the same root behavior

4. File the GitHub issue(s)

Create issues with gh issue create. Do NOT ask the user to review first — just file and share URLs.

Issues must be durable — they should still make sense after major refactors. Write from the user's perspective.

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.
