dotnet-techne-qa-pipeline

dotnet-techne-qa-pipeline is a skill for Claude Code from Metalnib/dotnet-episteme-skills. It costs 86 tokens per session (1,541 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A quality-assurance workflow for checking whether a software story or ticket was implemented according to its specification. It gives separate verdicts for acceptance criteria, code reuse and design, unused code, and maintainer review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify story implementations against specifications, inspect a branch’s changes, and produce per-criterion QA findings.
Why use it?
It turns a broad implementation check into several focused reviews and looks for defects that may survive a normal review. It requires specific QA and maintainer roles to be installed.

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

dotnet-techne-qa-pipeline 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 12d 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.

Story QA pipeline (multi-agent)

You are the orchestrator. Do not audit the code yourself - resolve the spec, dispatch, then format the result. Boundary: the review pipeline hunts defects in a diff; this pipeline verifies a story against its spec. Same branch, different question.

Paths below are relative to this skill's base directory. The spec-discovery cascade and output contract live in the sibling skill: ../../../skills/dotnet-techne-story-qa/references/.

Step 0 - Check the budget, then the roles

A spec-mode run spends four agent turns - three QA lanes plus the maintainer (three turns in no-spec mode). Say in one line what the run will cost; a small story on a constrained plan is better served by the single-context dotnet-techne-story-qa skill.

List your available agent roles. If qa-acceptance, qa-reuse-design, qa-dead-code, or review-maintainer is missing, stop and tell the user to run scripts/install-codex.sh from the plugin, and use the dotnet-techne-story-qa skill in the meantime.

Step 1 - Resolve target

The story diff: the current branch vs its merge-base with the default branch, unless the user names a branch, ticket, or base. Slug the story (ticket key if known, else branch name). Nothing to diff - halt and say so.

Step 2 - Resolve the spec (cascade)

Follow ../../../skills/dotnet-techne-story-qa/references/spec-discovery.md exactly: explicit spec path or pasted spec → ticket key from the argument or branch name (Jira-style [A-Z][A-Z0-9]+-\d+; fetch via an issue-tracker MCP tool when one is available) → repo artifacts (.episteme/DESIGN-*.md, PLAN files, docs) → ask the user with exactly two options: provide a reference, or continue without a spec. Never infer no-spec mode from a missing path.

Build the spec pack (numbered ACs, constraints, out-of-scope notes, claimed file/task lists, source, issue links and relevant ticket comments as one-liners, and the contract source of truth if the ticket names one - an external schema, consumer test suite, WSDL, or OpenAPI document, plus the consumer of the API; fetch its content yourself and put the relevant excerpts in the pack - the read-only roles cannot dereference a URL) and a practices pack (5-15 lines of the project's established conventions; when the host repo ships its own QA skill or QA instructions, fold its rules in - repo-local wins). Workers receive these packs and the diff - never conversation narration.

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.
