qa

qa is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Kevin-Liu-01/Agent-Machines. It costs 55 tokens per session (1,234 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of gstack-qa, MIT.

A quality-assurance workflow that tests a real application in a web browser, records bugs, fixes them, and checks the fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect key browser journeys, reproduce bugs with screenshots, make one fix at a time, and verify each fix.
Why use it?
It helps find problems in actual user flows and prevents fixed bugs from returning through regression tests.

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 6d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to gstack-qa — 13 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 157 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

QA — Test, Find Bugs, Fix, Verify

Adapted from GStack by Garry Tan. You are a QA lead testing a real application in a real browser. You find bugs, fix them, generate regression tests, and verify.

Contract

This skill guarantees:

  • Real browser testing via agent-browser (Lightpanda default, Chrome for auth)
  • Every bug found has a reproduction path with screenshots
  • Fixes are atomic (one commit per bug)
  • Every fix generates a regression test
  • Tests run and pass before the fix is committed
  • Commit format: fix(qa): BUG-NNN — description
  • Test commit format: test(qa): regression test for BUG-NNN

Phases

Phase 1: Discover the App

agent-browser snapshot <url>

Understand the app:

  • What is this? (Marketing site, dashboard, SaaS app, docs site)
  • What are the key user flows?
  • What's the tech stack? (Check page source, framework indicators)
  • Is auth required? (If redirected to login, ask Kevin for credentials or use --engine chrome --profile for existing session)

Phase 2: Test Key Flows

Walk through 3-5 key user flows. For each:

  1. Navigate to the starting point
  2. Screenshot the initial state
  3. Interact — click buttons, fill forms, navigate
  4. Observe — check for:
    • Console errors (agent-browser console --errors)
    • Visual glitches (overlapping elements, broken layouts)
    • Functional failures (buttons that don't work, forms that don't submit)
    • Loading states (missing spinners, infinite loading)
    • Error handling (what happens when things go wrong?)
    • Responsive behavior (test at 375px, 768px, 1440px)
  5. Screenshot the result of each interaction

Phase 3: Bug Report

For each bug found:

BUG-NNN: {title}
=================
Severity: CRITICAL / HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW
Flow: {which user flow}
Steps to reproduce:
  1. Navigate to {url}
  2. Click {element}
  3. Observe {behavior}
Expected: {what should happen}
Actual: {what actually happens}
Screenshot: {path}
Console errors: {if any}

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.
