wf-qa-gate

wf-qa-gate is a skill for Claude Code from ParkerM2/create-claude-workflow. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,084 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A quality-control step for multi-agent development work. It waits for coding agents to finish, sends their changes to QA agents for review, merges passing work, and tracks progress through waves, or groups of tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a wave of tasks has been assigned. It coordinates coder completion messages, QA verdicts, rebasing, merging, and moving to the next wave only after all tasks pass.
Why use it?
It keeps unfinished or failed tasks from being treated as complete. It also provides recovery instructions when a coding agent stops responding.

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 B, and why

wf-qa-gate scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

WF: QA Gate

Gate Check

cat .claude/.workflow-state/wave-<currentWave>-spawned.json

Determine currentWave from setup-complete.json. If spawn stamp missing: STOP — "Wave not spawned. Run Step 4a (wf-spawn) first."

Load agent IDs, task list, TICKET, TEAM_LEADER_NAME, workPrefix, worktreeDir, featureBranch from state files.


Your Task

Wait for coder completions, coordinate QA, and merge each passing task. Do not move to the next wave until ALL tasks in this wave are merged.


Checklist

1. Wait for Coder Completions

Wait for each coder-task-<N> to SendMessage with completion. When a coder reports done:

  1. Note which task completed and which files changed
  2. Notify QA: SendMessage(to: "qa-task-<N>", message: "Code ready. Files: <list>.")

RECOVERY: If a coder goes silent for >5 minutes, send one nudge. If no response after 2 minutes, check TaskOutput. If crashed, spawn a replacement on the same worktree with the same task file.

2. Handle QA Verdict

On PASS:

  1. Emit: /claude-workflow:track qa.passed "Task #<N>" --task <N>
  2. Rebase and merge:
    git -C <worktreePath> rebase <featureBranch>
    git checkout <featureBranch>
    git merge --no-ff <workbranch> -m "Merge <taskSlug>: <summary>"
    
  3. Emit: /claude-workflow:track branch.merged "<taskSlug> to feature"
  4. Cleanup:
    git worktree remove <worktreePath>
    git branch -d <workbranch>
    
  5. Shut down both agents:
    SendMessage(to: "coder-task-<N>", message: {"type": "shutdown_request"})
    SendMessage(to: "qa-task-<N>", message: {"type": "shutdown_request"})
    
  6. Update task file: status"complete"

On FAIL (round < 3):

  1. Emit: /claude-workflow:track qa.failed "Task #<N>, round <R>" --task <N>
  2. Forward to coder: SendMessage(to: "coder-task-<N>", message: "QA FAIL round <R>. Issues: <list>")
  3. Wait for coder to fix and message back
  4. Shut down previous QA agent
  5. Spawn NEW QA: name: "qa-task-<N>-r<round>" with same template
  6. Wait for new verdict. Increment round. Repeat from step 1.

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.

wf-qa-gate is a skill published in the GitHub repository ParkerM2/create-claude-workflow (4 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 1,084 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
