nw-quality-framework

nw-quality-framework is a skill for Claude Code from nWave-ai/nWave. It costs 23 tokens per session (2,942 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of quality gates for deciding whether code is ready to commit. It checks tests, formatting, static analysis, builds, acceptance criteria, test integrity, and other implementation conditions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate unit, integration, and acceptance tests, check builds and analysis, detect skipped tests, and review commit readiness.
Why use it?
It catches unfinished or unreliable changes before they enter version control and makes the release decision more consistent.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

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 →

  • high Tool Misuse · line 105
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.
  • medium Agent Snooping · line 223
    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

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

nw-quality-framework 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 1mo 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.

Quality Framework

Commit Readiness Gates (11)

All pass before committing:

  1. Active acceptance test passes (not skipped, not ignored)
  2. All unit tests pass
  3. All integration tests pass
  4. All other enabled tests pass
  5. Code formatting validation passes
  6. Static analysis passes
  7. Build validation passes (all projects)
  8. No test skips in execution (ignores OK during progressive implementation)
  9. Test count within behavior budget
  10. No mocks inside hexagon
  11. Business language in tests verified

Note: Reviewer approval (formerly Gate 12) and Testing Theater detection (formerly Gate 13) enforced at deliver-level Phase 4 (Adversarial Review via /nw-review), not per step.

Quality Gates by Category

  • Architecture: all layers touched | integration points validated | stack proven E2E | pipeline functional
  • Implementation: real functionality (not placeholders) | automated pipeline | happy path coverage | production patterns
  • Business Value: meaningful user value | testable AC | measurable success metrics
  • Real Data: golden masters present | edge cases tested | no silent errors | API assumptions documented
  • Test Integrity: every test falsifiable | behavioral assertions only | no circular verification | no mock-dominated tests | no assertion-free tests | no fixture theater (see below)

Testing Theater Pattern 8: Fixture Theater

Definition: Acceptance tests pass because test fixtures create the expected end-state directly, rather than exercising production code through the driving port. Tests verify the correct outcome from the WRONG source.

Detection: After GREEN phase, run git diff --name-only. If files_to_modify from the roadmap step have NO changes but tests flipped from RED to GREEN, this is Fixture Theater. The test fixtures are implementing the feature, not production code.

Litmus test: Delete the new production code (or revert production files to pre-GREEN state). If tests still pass, it's Fixture Theater.

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.
