qa-strategy

qa-strategy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pnakhat/qa-ai-repo. It costs 128 tokens per session (1,832 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-specific plan for testing software, based on the risks the team faces and the importance of each feature.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating a QA strategy, assessing an existing testing approach, planning tests, and deciding what testing to automate.
Why use it?
It replaces generic test checklists and arbitrary coverage targets with decisions tied to known risks, team capacity, and release needs.

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-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 11d 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 Strategy

Generate a QA strategy that fits this team — not a generic checklist. The strategy is only as good as its inputs, so always gather the intake first, then produce the strategy against a consistent template. Every recommendation traces back to a stated input and lands as a measurable gate, not an aspiration.

How to run

  1. Collect the intake. Ask the questions in intake.md. Ask them in batches (grouped by section), not all at once. If the user has already supplied some answers (in the prompt, a repo, a doc), pre-fill those and only ask what's missing or ambiguous. Do not invent answers — if something is unknown, mark it TBD and note the assumption you'll proceed with.
  2. Infer what you can from the codebase when available: languages, frameworks, existing test dirs, CI config, coverage — confirm rather than ask.
  3. Score risk. Rank features/flows by likelihood × impact using the rubric in reference.md. This drives where coverage goes.
  4. Write the strategy using strategy-template.md. Every recommendation must trace back to an input (e.g. "daily deploys → block merges on a fast smoke suite"). Tailor depth to team size and maturity.
  5. Make it actionable. End with a phased roadmap (Now / Next / Later) with concrete first steps, owners, and success metrics defined per reference.md — not aspirations.

Intake first — why it's non-negotiable

The single biggest failure mode is writing a generic strategy that ignores the team's reality. A strategy built without inputs is filler.

✅ Do ❌ Don't
Ask the intake.md questions in grouped batches Dump all 25 questions at once, or ask none
Pre-fill from the repo/CI config, then confirm Ask for facts the codebase already shows
Mark unknowns TBD + state the assumption Invent a stack, team size, or cadence
Proceed on terse answers; note what's missing Block on a full interview before offering value
Tie every recommendation to a specific input Recommend tools the team's stack can't use

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.
