A workflow for creating repeatable manual testing playbooks with scenarios, evidence requirements, and pass-or-fail criteria.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan manual validation for skills, systems, command-line tools, tool interfaces, or multi-agent workflows.
Why use it?
It turns informal checklists into tests that another person or agent can reproduce and evaluate consistently.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

sk-create-manual-testing-playbook 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/tests/validate-playbook-package.test.cjs, scripts/validate-playbook-package.cjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Manual Testing Playbook Creation

create-manual-testing-playbook is the manual-validation package workflow for the sk-doc family. It authors manual-testing-playbook/ packages for skills and systems that need reproducible operator-facing scenarios, evidence capture, release-readiness review, and realistic orchestration or multi-agent execution planning.

Core principle: keep shared rules in the root playbook, keep execution truth in per-feature files, and make every scenario deterministic enough that another operator can reproduce the verdict.


1. WHEN TO USE

Activation Triggers

Use this workflow when the request involves:

  • /create:manual-testing-playbook.
  • Creating manual-testing-playbook/manual-testing-playbook.md.
  • Building one-file-per-feature manual test scenarios.
  • Designing deterministic prompts, command sequences, expected signals, evidence, pass/fail criteria, and failure triage.
  • Planning manual validation across multiple operators, agents, CLIs, MCP tools, or runtime surfaces.
  • Converting an ad hoc release checklist into a reusable evidence-driven playbook package.
  • Aligning a manual testing playbook with a feature catalog.

Keyword triggers: manual testing playbook, /create:manual-testing-playbook, testing playbook, playbook system, deterministic scenario, evidence collection, operator validation, multi-agent execution, release readiness.

Strong signals that a playbook is warranted:

  • 5+ distinct features need manual validation.
  • Release decisions depend on structured evidence.
  • Realistic orchestration behavior matters.
  • Multiple operators or agents will execute the same scenarios.
  • Automated tests cover internals but not operator-visible behavior.

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.
