test-strategy

test-strategy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from petrkindlmann/qa-skills. It costs 150 tokens per session (5,824 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A template for a multi-quarter quality-assurance plan, covering different kinds of tests, risk priorities, release conditions, quality measures, tools, and a delivery timeline.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan unit, integration, and end-to-end testing for a product, choose tools, scale continuous integration, and define quality goals over several quarters.
Why use it?
It turns testing concerns into a planned programme with clear priorities and checkpoints instead of an unstructured list of possible tests.

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

test-strategy 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 10d 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.

Discovery Questions

Before writing a single line of strategy, gather context. Check .agents/qa-project-context.md first — if it exists, use it as the foundation and skip questions already answered there.

Product & Business Context

  • What is the product? (SaaS, e-commerce, API platform, mobile app, content site)
  • Who are the users? (consumers, enterprise, internal, developers)
  • What are the business-critical flows? (signup, checkout, payment, data export)
  • What is the release cadence? (continuous, weekly, bi-weekly, quarterly)
  • What compliance requirements exist? (SOC2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, EU AI Act)

Current Testing State

  • What test levels exist today, and the current count at each level?
  • What frameworks and tools are in use?
  • Current code coverage, and the target if any?
  • How long does the CI pipeline take end-to-end?
  • What is the current flakiness rate?

Pain Points & Goals

  • Biggest quality pain points? (regressions, slow feedback, flaky tests, gaps)
  • What broke in the last 3 releases? What escaped to production?
  • What does "good enough quality" look like for this team?
  • Appetite for investment in test infrastructure?

Team & Constraints

  • Team size and composition (devs, QA, SDET, manual testers)
  • Skill levels with automation tools
  • Budget constraints for tooling
  • Timeline pressure — is there a deadline driving this strategy?

Calibrate to team maturity (set team_maturity in .agents/qa-project-context.md):

  • startup — Minimal pyramid: unit tests + a handful of critical E2E paths. Skip contract testing and formal metrics until CI runs reliably. Phase 1 under 4 weeks.
  • growing — Full pyramid with defined coverage targets, flakiness thresholds, and CI quality gates. Add risk-based prioritization.
  • established — SLA-backed quality gates, multi-environment coverage, advanced tooling (contract testing, chaos, observability), and formal review cadence.

Changes

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.
