setup

setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TimothyHan/qa-buddy-skills. It costs 96 tokens per session (2,030 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A first-run setup wizard for QABuddy, a tool for planning and checking software work. It saves project preferences in a .qabuddy.json file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose Jira, specification documents, chat, or another context source, and to set solo or pull-request-based work modes.
Why use it?
It removes repeated configuration by recording where feature requirements come from and how the team works.

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 B, and why

setup scanned grade B 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 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 219 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/qa-setup: QABuddy Configuration

Configure QABuddy for this project. Creates .qabuddy.json at the project root with your preferences. All other skills read this config to adjust their behavior.

Constraints

  1. Never overwrite without asking. If .qabuddy.json exists, show current config first.
  2. Verify before saving. Show the full config and confirm before writing the file.
  3. One question at a time. Don't batch questions.

Phase 1: Check Existing Config

cat .qabuddy.json 2>/dev/null
  • If config exists: Show it and ask: "Want to reconfigure or keep current settings?"
    • (A) Reconfigure — proceed to Phase 2
    • (B) Keep — show summary and exit
  • If no config: Proceed to Phase 2

Phase 2: Context Source

Ask the SDT:

"How does your team provide feature context (epic details, acceptance criteria, specs)?"

  • (A) Jira (recommended if using Atlassian) — I'll query tickets via Atlassian MCP
  • (B) Specification documents — feature specs live as files in this repo (e.g., docs/, specs/)
  • (C) Chat — you'll paste or link context when needed
  • (D) Custom — describe your method

If Jira: Ask for the project key (e.g., "PROJ"). Verify Jira MCP connectivity:

# Check if atlassian MCP is configured
grep -r "atlassian" ~/.claude/settings.json .claude/settings.json .claude/settings.local.json 2>/dev/null

If MCP not found, warn but don't block — SDT can set it up later. Features and stories use Jira keys as KB identifiers (e.g., PROJ-123, PROJ-456).

If Spec, Chat, or Custom: Explain naming: "Since you're not using Jira, you'll name features and stories yourself when running skills. Use short, descriptive slugs (e.g., auth-system, login-page, pdf-export). These become directory names in the knowledge base: features-kb/features/auth-system/test-cases/login-page.md"

If Custom: Also ask for a brief description of the method (stored in config).

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.
