Kiln: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/qa/SKILL.md

qa is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Kiln-AI/Kiln. It costs 91 tokens per session (3,349 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

A broad quality-assurance process that uses multiple agents and real browsers to test a branch or pull request. A pull request is a proposed code change awaiting review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for end-to-end testing, QA passes, manual tests, or bug-bash sessions across a branch or pull request.
Why use it?
It divides testing into separate areas and produces one severity-ranked report, making wider manual testing easier to organize.

Which agent this was written for is unclear — body not stored (licence); the path alone says nothing. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is Kiln-AI/Kiln's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on Kiln itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything Kiln configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/user/Kiln/....

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 C, and why

qa scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

The source is not reproduced here

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

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.
