sumo-qa-creating-test-plan is a skill for Claude Code from sumithr/sumo-qa. It costs 88 tokens per session (2,300 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided process for creating a formal software test plan, including what must be true before and after testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan phased quality assurance for a project or behavior change.
Why use it?
It gives testing a defined scope, risk assessment, starting conditions, completion conditions, and record of remaining risks.

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

sumo-qa-creating-test-plan 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Creating a Test Plan

Help the user turn a piece of upcoming work into a phased ISTQB-style test plan through natural collaborative dialogue. Walk through scope, risks, criteria, and phases one section at a time, confirming with them after each, until the full plan is on the page. The user has domain context the AI can't infer — surface it through questions, don't assume it.

Announce at start: "Building the formal test plan."

Output discipline (mandatory)

Inherits the global discipline from using-sumo-qa: output discipline (never surface internal taxonomy labels — say "behaviour change in pricing", not "Classification: business_logic_change"), output economy (spend output on findings not framing; no preamble or self-narration; one question per turn; no closing pleasantries), knowledge authority hierarchy, internal scaffolding stays internal, and specialty-tool fit.

The Iron Law

NO PLAN WITHOUT EXPLICIT ENTRY AND EXIT CRITERIA. A document missing either is a wishlist, not a plan.

Evidence-backed gate reporting

Each entry/exit criterion is a gate whose eventual claim carries a status (passed / failed / skipped / blocked / unverified) and, unless skipped or unverified, cites the ONE observed evidence item behind it by source (command, tool_call, file_read, user_fact, external_ci, manual_observation). At plan time nothing has run, so every criterion is unverified — write each so it names WHAT evidence source would later settle it (a command, a tool result, a CI check), never a tautology like "tests pass". That is what makes the plan checkable rather than a wishlist.

When to Use

User intents that trigger this skill:

  • "create a test plan for X"
  • "draft the formal QA plan I should follow"
  • "give me entry/exit criteria for X"
  • "I'm starting a major feature — plan QA properly"

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.
