ui-test-auditor

ui-test-auditor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pnakhat/qa-ai-repo. It costs 150 tokens per session (1,801 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for reviewing browser-based end-to-end tests and deciding whether each belongs in the UI, API, or unit-test layer. Unit tests check small pieces of logic, while API tests check application behavior without a browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
It detects Playwright, WebdriverIO, and Selenium tests in several languages, counts the test layers, classifies individual tests, and names a target API endpoint or unit for moved coverage.
Why use it?
It helps reduce slow, fragile browser tests while keeping the coverage they provide.

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

ui-test-auditor 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.

UI Test Overuse Auditor

Browser tests are the slowest, flakiest, most expensive tests to run and maintain. Teams overuse them — verifying business rules, validation, permissions, and data variations through the UI when a fast API or unit test would prove the same thing. This skill audits the suite and reclassifies each test: keep-as-UI, demote-to-API, or demote-to-unit. See detection-signals.md for framework/language markers and the exact rubric, and reference.md for concrete before/after conversions and copy-pasteable ripgrep inventory commands.

How to run the audit

  1. Locate the UI tests regardless of framework/language. Detect Playwright, WebdriverIO, and Selenium/WebDriver by their imports/APIs (see detection-signals.md). Count files and test cases; note the framework+language.
  2. Establish the shape. Compare UI test count against API/unit test counts. A healthy suite has a handful of UI journeys, not hundreds. Flag inversion.
  3. Classify each UI test by what it actually verifies (read the assertions, not the title):
    • Keep-as-UI — the behavior only manifests in the browser: rendering, client-side interaction, navigation/routing, form UX, visual, accessibility, or a genuine critical end-to-end journey.
    • Demote-to-API — business rules, validation messages, permission/authz, error codes, pagination/filtering/sorting, calculations, data transformations — anything asserted on data/state, reachable via an HTTP call.
    • Demote-to-unit — pure logic with no I/O.
  4. Find the repetition. The biggest win: N UI tests that differ only by input data (each retyping a form to check a different validation/branch). Collapse them into one parameterized API test plus one UI happy-path smoke.
  5. Flag UI-driven setup. Logging in, seeding data, or navigating through the UI just to reach a state = move to programmatic/API setup or fixtures; it's not what the test verifies.
  6. Report with audit-report-template.md: inventory, overuse findings ranked by cost saved, per-test recommendation with reasoning, the target counts, and a migration plan.

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.
