qa-test-designer

qa-test-designer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from oumaimah-QA/QIOS. It costs 125 tokens per session (908 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for turning a user story, Jira ticket, acceptance criteria, or feature description into a structured software test plan. It identifies the feature, users, rules, data, risks, dependencies, and missing or unclear information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design risk-aware test plans and ready-to-run test cases for features, business rules, Jira work, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of overlooking important scenarios or silently guessing about incomplete requirements. It also helps decide which kinds of testing are needed.

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-test-designer 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 8d 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 Test Designer

Purpose

Transform a User Story, acceptance criteria, or feature description into a structured, complete, ready-to-execute test plan — with risk levels, flags, and coverage analysis.


Input Accepted

  • User Story format: As a [role] / I want [action] / So that [benefit]
  • Acceptance criteria (bullet points or Given/When/Then)
  • Jira ticket content (paste the full description)
  • Feature description in plain language
  • Epic or business requirement document excerpt

Analysis Process

Step 1 — Parse and Structure

Extract:

Feature      : What is being built?
Actor(s)     : Who uses it? Which roles?
Goal         : What outcome is expected?
Business Rules: Constraints, limits, conditions
Data         : Input fields, output fields, data types
Risks        : What can go wrong? What is the impact?
Dependencies : Other features, services, or data required

Flag immediately — do not assume:

[MISSING]    : Information needed to test but not provided
[AMBIGUOUS]  : Requirement that is unclear or contradictory
[ASSUMPTION] : What is being assumed to proceed

Step 2 — Coverage Strategy

Define which test types are needed:

Functional   → Core behavior: does it do what the spec says?
Boundary     → Min/max values, limits, thresholds
Negative     → Wrong input, missing data, broken flows
Integration  → Interaction with other components or services
Security     → Auth, permissions, data access
Performance  → Response time, throughput (flag if needed, mark as out of scope if not)

Step 3 — Generate Test Cases

Use the structure from ../../_shared/test-case-template.md.

Minimum per feature:

  • 1 happy path (P1)
  • 1 negative per business rule (P1)
  • 1 boundary per numeric/date field (P2)
  • 1 auth/permission check if applicable (P1 — CRITICAL)

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.
