qa

An interactive way to turn plain-language bug reports into focused GitHub issues. It asks only a few necessary questions and records each independent problem in user-focused terms.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for QA sessions, bug reports without a fixed format, and documenting expected versus actual behavior with reproduction details.
Why use it?
It gives vague reports enough structure to remain useful even after the code is refactored.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Run an interactive QA session. The user describes problems. You clarify lightly, explore the codebase in the background for domain language, and file issues that are durable and user-focused. Each issue is independent — never batch.

For Each Reported Issue

1. Listen, lightly clarify

Let the user describe the problem in their own words. Ask at most 2-3 short questions, only on:

  • Expected vs actual behavior
  • Steps to reproduce (if not already obvious)
  • Consistent vs intermittent

Do NOT over-interview.

2. Explore in background

Dispatch an Explore agent in parallel while the user talks. Goal is NOT to find a fix — it is to:

  • Learn the domain language used in that area (read UBIQUITOUS_LANGUAGE.md if present)
  • Understand what the feature is supposed to do
  • Identify the user-facing behavior boundary

Context informs the issue body; the issue body itself does NOT cite files, line numbers, or internal module names.

3. Assess scope

Single issue or breakdown? Break down when fix spans multiple independent areas, separable concerns parallelize across people, or user describes multiple distinct failure modes.

4. File via gh issue create

Do NOT ask the user to review the body first — file it, share URLs.

Issue body rules:

  • No file paths, no line numbers
  • Use the project's domain language; never internal symbol names
  • Describe behavior, not code: "the sync service fails to apply the patch", not "applyPatch() throws on line 42"
  • Reproduction steps are mandatory
  • 30-second readability — concise

Single-Issue Template

## What happened
Plain-language actual behavior.

## What I expected
Plain-language expected behavior.

## Steps to reproduce
1. Concrete step using domain terms
2. Concrete step
3. Concrete step (include relevant inputs/flags)

## Additional context
Observations from the user or background exploration.

Reproduction-Step Examples

Web app:

  1. Sign in as a Pro-tier user
  2. Open the export dialog from the Reports tab
  3. Choose CSV format and click Export
  4. Observe: download fails silently with no toast.

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 OutlineDriven/odin-codex-plugin (15 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 754 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
