senior-manual-qa

senior-manual-qa is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sampleXbro/agentsmesh. It costs 59 tokens per session (2,482 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A manual quality-assurance process for TypeScript libraries and command-line tools. It uses risk-based planning, evidence collection, and reproducible defect reports.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create test plans, validate behavior, check release readiness, and report defects.
Why use it?
It helps uncover edge cases and release blockers while avoiding claims that are not backed by test evidence.

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

senior-manual-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 1mo 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.

Purpose

Senior Manual QA

Run this skill when a user asks to:

  • "test the library completely"
  • "create a test plan"
  • "validate all edge cases"
  • "do senior manual QA"
  • "check release readiness"

This skill is for QA execution and reporting. It does not require code changes.

Mandatory output: create a QA report markdown file in the repository.

Core Principles

  • Test behavior, not assumptions.
  • Prioritize business-critical flows first.
  • Record evidence for every pass/fail claim.
  • Keep tests deterministic and reproducible.
  • Use isolated temp workspaces for destructive scenarios.
  • Never claim completion while blockers remain.

Phase 1: Build the Test Plan

Create a concise plan before running commands.

Include:

  1. Scope (what is in/out).
  2. Entry criteria (buildable state, dependencies installed).
  3. Exit criteria (all required gates complete, blocker count).
  4. Risk areas and priority order.
  5. Test matrix (happy path, boundaries, invalid input, recovery, regression).
  6. Environment details (OS, shell, Node/package manager).

Phase 2: Baseline and Environment Checks

Capture baseline details:

  • Current git status (clean or dirty).
  • Node and package manager versions.
  • Install state (pnpm install only if needed).
  • Existing warnings that are known/non-blocking.

If a command mutates generated artifacts during tests, restore workspace state unless the user asked to keep changes.

Phase 3: Quality Gate Execution

Run gates in this order unless the user overrides:

  1. pnpm typecheck
  2. pnpm lint
  3. pnpm build
  4. pnpm test
  5. pnpm test:e2e (if available)
  6. pnpm test:coverage (if available)
  7. pnpm audit --audit-level=high

For each gate, record:

  • command
  • exit code
  • duration (if available)
  • key output lines

Phase 4: Manual Edge-Case Matrix (CLI + Library)

Use isolated temp directories for manual CLI cases. Validate both exit code and message clarity.

Minimum matrix:

  • Command discovery:
    • --help
    • --version
    • unknown command
  • Required input validation:
    • missing config
    • missing required args
    • invalid option value
  • Lifecycle flow:
    • init/setup
    • successful primary command flow
    • check/verify flow
  • Drift/conflict behavior:
    • modify canonical input and re-check
    • confirm conflict output is actionable
  • Install/import flow (if applicable):
    • happy path
    • no-op/sync with no manifest
    • invalid source path/format
  • Error resilience:
    • malformed file (YAML/JSON/markdown frontmatter)
    • unsupported target/feature

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.
