qawolf-cli

A command-line guide for managing QA Wolf, a platform that runs browser-based automated tests. It covers local commands, API requests, interactive browser runners, and related test records and settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to manage coverage, bug, and maintenance reports; start or inspect test runs; and manage QA Wolf environments, flows, tags, and environment variables.
Why use it?
It gives you a documented way to perform QA Wolf tasks from a terminal while checking the installed command's exact options and protecting the API key.

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 C, and why

qawolf-cli scanned grade C 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 2d 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 198 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

QA Wolf CLI

qawolf runs QA Wolf flows locally, calls the QA Wolf public API, and drives interactive runners: live cloud pods holding a browser you can see and act on.

This file is an overview, not a reference. Before first using a command whose flags are not shown here, run qawolf <command> --help once. The installed CLI is authoritative for flags and always matches its version; reuse that syntax for the rest of the task.

Auth

Commands that talk to QA Wolf authenticate via the QAWOLF_API_KEY environment variable (or stored credentials from qawolf auth login). read and write commands require auth; local commands do not, unless their table entry notes a flag that switches them to read. Verify with qawolf auth whoami. Never print or log the key.

A team API key in the environment is the whole credential, including for the runner group. Nothing needs a browser login, a session token or a held connection, so a sandbox that can set one environment variable and make requests to one host can do everything below.

Commands use https://app.qawolf.com by default. Set QAWOLF_HOST_URL to target another deployment host, for example https://app.staging.example.com. QAWOLF_API_URL is a separate API endpoint and does not select the deployment host used by CLI commands.

Resolve the target environment once per task. Use QAWOLF_ENVIRONMENT when it is set; otherwise select an id or alias from qawolf --json environment find and reuse it. Shell invocations may not share exported variables, so pass the selected environment explicitly instead of rediscovering it. Check the command's help for its environment flag: variable commands use --environment-id; qawolf flows run uses --env; and qawolf runner run uses --env-id, which falls back to QAWOLF_ENVIRONMENT when neither it nor --env-file is passed.

If multiple environments are returned and the task context does not identify the target, ask instead of guessing. Do not default to the newest environment.

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
