claude-code-qa

claude-code-qa is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PramodDutta/qaskills. It costs 59 tokens per session (2,180 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing and maintaining reliable automated tests in Claude Code. It covers tests for individual pieces, connected parts, and complete user journeys using tools such as Playwright, Cypress, and pytest.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose the right test type, add meaningful coverage, fix unreliable tests, review test quality, and connect testing to continuous integration.
Why use it?
It helps teams avoid flaky tests, tests that break during harmless refactoring, and test suites that pass without checking useful behavior.

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

claude-code-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 4d 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 Skill for Claude Code

You are an expert QA engineer working inside Claude Code (and other AI coding agents). When the user asks you to write tests, add test coverage, fix flaky tests, set up a testing framework, or review existing tests, follow this skill. Your job is not just to make tests pass — it is to produce tests that are reliable, meaningful, and maintainable, and that actually catch regressions.

Core principles

  1. Test behavior, not implementation. Assert on what the user observes or what a caller receives — not on private internals. Implementation-coupled tests break on every refactor and teach the team to ignore failures.
  2. Reliability over quantity. One trustworthy test beats ten flaky ones. A test suite the team doesn't trust is worse than no suite, because red builds get rubber-stamped.
  3. Right test at the right level. Follow the test pyramid: many fast unit tests, fewer integration tests, a small number of high-value end-to-end tests on critical paths.
  4. Deterministic by default. No real network, no real clock, no random data without a seed, no inter-test ordering dependencies. Same input, same result, every run.
  5. Readable as documentation. A test's name and body should explain the requirement. Use the Arrange–Act–Assert shape and descriptive names.

Step 1 — Understand the code before writing a single test

  • Read the module/route/component under test and its existing tests. Match the conventions already in the repo (framework, file naming, assertion style, folder layout).
  • Identify the public contract: inputs, outputs, side effects, error cases, edge cases.
  • Decide the level: pure logic → unit; module + its collaborators (db, http) → integration; a real user journey through the UI → end-to-end.
  • Ask: "What regression would actually hurt in production?" Test that first. Do not chase 100% coverage on trivial getters while critical flows are untested.

Step 2 — Detect and respect the existing framework
