sumo-qa: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/scaffold-sumo-qa-skill/SKILL.md

scaffold-sumo-qa-skill is a skill for Claude Code from sumithr/sumo-qa. It costs 138 tokens per session (1,219 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A scaffolding tool for creating a new QA sub-skill and its supporting catalogue and evaluation files. A sub-skill is a focused workflow for one type of QA request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding a new sumo-qa workflow, including its instructions, promptfoo evaluation configuration, and routing entry.
Why use it?
It keeps the files needed for a new QA workflow together and reduces manual setup work.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths.

This is sumithr/sumo-qa's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on sumo-qa itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything sumo-qa configures →

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

scaffold-sumo-qa-skill 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/scaffold.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

scaffold-sumo-qa-skill

Drives the four-step recipe for adding a new sumo-qa-<name> sub-skill so all the pieces land together. The deterministic file generation lives in scripts/scaffold.py; this document is the thin guide for gathering inputs and checking the surfaces the script cannot reach (the installed MCP server).

When to use

Trigger this skill whenever the user asks to add a new sumo-qa sub-skill — phrases like "scaffold a new skill", "add a sumo-qa-X skill", "I want a skill that handles Y for QA", or even just "let's start the routing for Z". The user invokes it explicitly with /scaffold-sumo-qa-skill; it doesn't auto-trigger.

Inputs

Gather these from the user up front. If they only give a partial set, ask for the rest in one round of questions — don't drip-feed.

  1. Skill name (without prefix) — kebab-case, descriptive of the user-intent the skill handles. The script prepends sumo-qa- automatically.
  2. One-line description — for the SKILL.md frontmatter description:. Convention across the estate: start with "Use when ..." so the trigger context is obvious.
  3. Approach tag — the kebab-case routing key that lands in knowledge/approaches.md. The user's sumo-qa-deciding-approach skill consults this catalogue when picking which sub-skill to route to.

Verify the surfaces the script can't reach

The script checks for collisions against the source tree (skills/, tests/evals/promptfoo/, knowledge/approaches.md). It can't check the installed MCP server, which serves a frozen-at-install-time view of the catalogues. Before invoking the script, call:

sumo_qa_load_approaches

through the MCP server and confirm the proposed approach tag isn't already shipped. The source tree may have unreleased entries the MCP doesn't yet see, and vice versa — checking both surfaces is what catches both classes of collision.

Run the script

python3 .claude/skills/scaffold-sumo-qa-skill/scripts/scaffold.py \
  --name <kebab-name> \
  --description "Use when <triggering context>." \
  --approach-tag <kebab-tag>

What ships with it

1 file 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.
