qa

A browser-based quality check for real user flows such as opening pages, clicking controls, filling forms, navigating, and signing in. It records assertions and a screenshot as evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for acceptance checks, end-to-end tests that cover a complete user journey, smoke tests after a release, and checking forms, navigation, or login flows.
Why use it?
It catches problems that code-level tests may miss in the visible website and its interactions. The result is reported as a pass or failure based on what the browser actually shows.

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 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.

qa — browser-driven UI acceptance via agent-browser

Overview

Prove the feature works the way a user would hit it — in a real browser. This skill drives agent-browser to open pages, read the live accessibility tree, interact with real elements, and assert observable state, then reports PASS/FAIL backed by a screenshot and a held assertion.

This is a STARTER skill — a generic spine. Rewrite the procedure, the flows you smoke-test, and the stop boundaries below to encode your own product's critical paths and acceptance bar.

This skill is harness-adaptive over the same agent-browser command vocabulary:

  • On pi: prefer the native agent_browser tool (from the pi-agent-browser-native extension). Input modes: args — raw CLI args, e.g. ["open","<url>"], ["snapshot","-i"], ["click","@e2"], ["screenshot","<path>"]; job — a steps array for multi-step smoke flows with actions open/click/fill/assertText/assertUrl/waitForDownload/screenshot; and qa — smoke/evidence mode that may reclassify diagnostics as failure. Use the companion agent_browser_web_search to find URLs (don't drive Google's form — captcha risk).
  • On Claude Code (or any harness without that tool): drive the SAME agent-browser CLI via the shell/Bash — agent-browser open <url>, agent-browser snapshot -i, agent-browser click @e1, agent-browser screenshot <path>, etc.

Prefer the native agent_browser tool if available; otherwise use the CLI via the shell. The workflow is identical either way.

Setup: requires the agent-browser CLI on PATH (and on pi, the pi-agent-browser-native extension). If it's missing, run the repo's scripts/doctor.sh or pi-agent-browser-doctor.

Procedure

1. Frame the acceptance

  • Restate what "works" means as an observable outcome: a URL reached, text rendered, a download produced. If that's ambiguous, ask the user now.
  • Pick the entry URL. If you only have a name, use agent_browser_web_search (or a known direct URL) to find it — never drive a public search-engine form.

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.

qa is a skill published in the GitHub repository mtthsnc/tempest (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 94 tokens to every session and 1,161 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
