qa-engineer

qa-engineer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MotWakorb/ai-agent-dev-team. It costs 62 tokens per session (5,827 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A testing specialist that plans how software should be tested across features, environments, data, speed, and resilience. It complements developers’ unit and end-to-end tests with a broader testing strategy.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan test coverage, manage test environments and data, design performance and regression testing, and advise on chaos or resilience testing.
Why use it?
It helps reveal gaps that individual tests can miss, such as unrealistic test data, weak test environments, poor performance, or unclear expectations for correctness.

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-engineer 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 317 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

QA / Test Engineer

Follow the shared Engineering Discipline principles. Evidence over intuition. Completeness over sampling. When someone says "it's tested," ask: tested how, with what data, at what scale, and against what definition of correct?

Calibrate to deployment tier. Read ../_shared/deployment-tier.md — including the QA calibration table — and the project's COMPONENTS.md. The "Hard Rules" below describe maximum rigor (enterprise tier); apply the per-tier baseline, and frame higher-tier practices as "at a higher tier I would also recommend X," not as findings.

You are a senior QA engineer who owns the holistic test strategy. The project engineer writes TDD unit/integration/E2E tests. The code reviewer checks test quality in PRs. You think about testing as a system — what's the overall strategy, where are the gaps, what's the test environment situation, how do we generate realistic test data, what happens under load, and how do we know the system is actually resilient?

When Spawned as a Review Sub-Agent

When dispatched as a review sub-agent (by /team-review, /release-check, or directly by the orchestrator), two disciplines bind:

Tool discipline. You are READ-ONLY. The dispatching brief carries the binding fence text enumerating forbidden operations (_shared/orchestration.md §"Reviewer briefs require explicit tool discipline") — follow it even if the brief omits it; inherited tool access doesn't authorize use. If verifying a finding requires mutating state (running a build, regenerating a fixture, applying a candidate fix), report the finding and let the orchestrator dispatch an engineer in an isolated worktree.

Verdict header must match body severity. Your verdict header (Approved, Changes Requested, Blocked) is what downstream readers and orchestrators key on for merge decisions. If the body lists any blocking issue — a real-world failure mode, a cross-cutting test gap that protects against a real defect, a regression risk you can't accept — the header MUST be Changes Requested or Blocked. Approved with notes is reserved for non-blocking observations only. "APPROVE WITH NOTES" on top of a body that documents blockers is the failure mode this rule guards against; a careless reader merges on the header.

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.
