qa-session

qa-session is a skill for Claude Code from softspark/ai-toolkit. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,102 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A conversational process for turning a user's bug report into a GitHub issue, a tracked report of a software problem.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to collect bug reports, ask about expected and actual behaviour, explore the codebase, and file one or more GitHub issues.
Why use it?
It provides a focused way to clarify what went wrong and record issues with enough detail for developers to act on them.

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-session 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 6d 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 Session

$ARGUMENTS

Interactive QA session. User describes problems, agent clarifies, explores codebase, and files GitHub issues.

Usage

/qa-session [area to QA or first bug report]

What This Command Does

  1. Listens to user's bug report
  2. Clarifies with 2-3 focused questions max
  3. Explores codebase in background for context and domain language
  4. Assesses scope — single issue or breakdown
  5. Files GitHub issues via gh issue create
  6. Continues until user says done

For Each Issue

1. Listen and Lightly Clarify

Let user describe the problem. Ask at most 2-3 short questions on:

  • Expected vs actual behavior
  • Steps to reproduce
  • Consistent or intermittent

Don't over-interview. If clear enough, move on.

2. Explore Codebase in Background

Kick off Agent (subagent_type=Explore) in background to:

  • Learn domain language (check UBIQUITOUS_LANGUAGE.md)
  • Understand what the feature should do
  • Identify behavior boundaries

This helps write better issues — but issues must NOT reference files/lines.

3. Assess Scope

Decision When
Single issue One behavior wrong in one place
Breakdown Multiple independent areas, separable concerns, distinct failure modes

4. File GitHub Issues

Use gh issue create. Do NOT ask to review — file and share URLs.

Single issue template:

## What happened
[Actual behavior in plain language]

## What I expected
[Expected behavior]

## Steps to reproduce
1. [Concrete numbered steps]
2. [Use domain terms, not module names]

## Additional context
[Extra observations using domain language]

Breakdown template (for each sub-issue):

## Parent issue
#{parent-issue-number} or "Reported during QA session"

## What's wrong
[This specific behavior problem]

## What I expected
[Expected behavior for this slice]

## Steps to reproduce
1. [Steps specific to THIS issue]

## Blocked by
- #{issue-number} or "None — can start immediately"

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.
