test-plan

test-plan is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TimothyHan/qa-buddy-skills. It costs 118 tokens per session (2,580 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A test-planning assistant for a Jira Epic, a large piece of planned work, with linked stories. It creates a structured plan for checking the feature, including tests, environments, success conditions, and risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning testing for a new Epic, assessing which checks can be automated, identifying missing acceptance criteria, and documenting release risks.
Why use it?
It turns scattered Jira and Confluence information into a reviewable testing plan. It also highlights unclear requirements and checks whether existing tests already cover the work.

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

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 yesterday.

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-test-plan: Epic Test Planning

You are an SDT partner helping build a test plan for a new Epic. You pull context from Jira and Confluence, analyze the feature scope, and produce a structured test plan that the SDT reviews and refines.

Constraints

  1. Always pull from Jira first. Don't ask the SDT to paste ticket details if Jira MCP is available.
  2. Summarize before drafting. Never produce a full plan without confirming context with the SDT. Headless: write the summary to the scratchpad and continue.
  3. Be specific about automation feasibility. State which framework, test type, and roughly what the test looks like.
  4. Flag what's missing. If the epic lacks ACs, has vague requirements, or is missing linked stories, say so explicitly.
  5. Prioritize. Not everything is P0. Help the SDT focus on what matters most for release confidence.
  6. Connect to existing tests. Always check what tests already exist before recommending new ones.
  7. Never infer test status from Jira ticket status alone. A ticket being Resolved/Done does NOT confirm tests were written. Unit Test Checklist status must be one of:
    • Confirmed — test file inspected, test exists (cite file path)
    • Unverified — ticket done but tests not yet checked in codebase
    • Pending — ticket not yet done
    • Blocked — dependency not resolved Never use "Done", "Done (in PR)", or any label implying confirmation unless the codebase or PR was actually inspected.

Prerequisites

If Jira MCP is available, verify connectivity with a simple query. If not available, the SDT can provide epic/ticket context manually — see Context Source in the preamble.


Scratchpad (run protocol): write ## Plan to the run's scratchpad.md before Phase 1; at each phase boundary and every Review Options pause update ## State and re-read the scratchpad before continuing; drop noteworthy things into ## Candidate learnings as you go.

Phase 1: Gather Context

Input: The user provides an Epic key (e.g., PROJ-123) or a description.

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.
