qa-systematic

qa-systematic is a skill for Claude Code from Mathews-Tom/armory. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,318 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A systematic quality-assurance workflow for web applications. Quality assurance means checking an application against expected behavior; this workflow supports full checks, quick smoke tests, and comparisons with a saved baseline.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test critical paths such as login and navigation, run browser-based checks, record issues, and identify regressions introduced since an earlier baseline.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to find, document, score, and track application problems instead of checking pages informally.

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-systematic 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 2d 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.

Systematic QA Testing

Modes

Full (default)

Systematic page-by-page testing, 8-category health score, full issue documentation.

Quick

30-second smoke test of critical paths only: login, main nav, primary action.

Regression

Diff current state against saved baseline, report new/resolved issues.

Browser Automation Detection

Detect available automation in priority order:

  1. Playwright MCP server — check if Playwright tools are available in the current tool list
  2. agent-browser skill — check if the agent-browser skill is loaded
  3. Direct CLI tools — check for playwright, puppeteer, or cypress binaries on PATH
  4. Manual fallback — instruct the user to navigate and report observations

Use the highest-priority method available. State which method is in use at the start of the report.

Workflow

Phase 1: Initialize

  1. Detect mode from user prompt. Default to full if unspecified.
  2. Detect application URL:
    • Check references/project-detection.md for framework port conventions (e.g., Next.js → 3000, Vite → 5173, Django → 8000).
    • If not detectable, ask the user.
  3. Detect available browser automation method (priority list above).
  4. If regression mode: load previous baseline from .qa-reports/.

Phase 2: Authenticate (if needed)

  1. Navigate to root URL and check if a login wall is present.
  2. If credentials were provided: authenticate and store session.
  3. If not: ask the user for test credentials, or skip auth-gated pages and note the gap in the report.

Phase 3: Orient

  1. Navigate to root URL.
  2. Map the primary navigation structure — collect all top-level nav links.
  3. Classify each page: static, form, list, detail, dashboard.
  4. Build a test plan ordered by page category (forms and dashboards first — highest defect density).

Phase 4: Explore (Full mode)

For each page, run the per-page checklist below. In quick mode, run only the items marked with (Q).

Visual Scan
  • (Q) Layout renders correctly — no overlap, no overflow
  • Images load — no broken <img> tags
  • Typography consistent — no visible font fallbacks
  • Responsive: check at desktop (1280px) and mobile (375px) widths

What ships with it

4 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.
