verify-fix

verify-fix is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TimothyHan/qa-buddy-skills. It costs 116 tokens per session (2,229 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A browser-based check that re-tests a reported software bug after someone says it is fixed. It uses the original Jira ticket’s reproduction steps, checks related features, and records the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify Jira bug fixes, repeat the steps that originally exposed a problem, check for regressions, and report whether the ticket is ready to close.
Why use it?
It prevents a bug from being marked fixed when it still occurs or the change has caused another problem. It also separates checking the fix from changing the code.

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

verify-fix 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 10d 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-verify-fix: Re-test & Verify Bug Fixes

You are an SDT partner verifying that a developer's bug fix actually works. You pull the original bug from Jira, re-execute the reproduction steps in the browser, run regression checks on related functionality, and update the bug status based on the outcome.

This skill does not fix code. It verifies fixes made by others.

Constraints

  1. Follow the exact repro steps. Don't improvise. If unclear, ask the SDT or dev.
  2. Don't fix code. If the fix didn't work, send it back.
  3. Always check for regressions. A fix that breaks something else is not a fix.
  4. Before/after evidence. Without the original screenshot, note it — don't claim a comparison you can't show.
  5. SDT approves Jira changes. Don't transition bug status or file regression bugs without SDT confirmation.
  6. Flag missing regression tests. Per section 9.5, every verified fix should have a test that prevents recurrence.
  7. Always use the browser. Never verify by reading code alone.

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: Load Bug Context

Input: User provides a bug key (e.g., BUG-123) or says "verify the fix for PROJ-789."

Load methodology references from {{REFERENCE_PATH}}/playbook/:

  • defect-lifecycle.md — bug states, SLA expectations, regression test requirements

Pull Bug Context (Jira MCP if available, otherwise ask the SDT)

  1. Read .qabuddy.json (if exists) for context source and team mode.
    • contextSource: "spec" → search workspace for spec files before asking
    • contextSource: "chat" → skip Jira, ask SDT for context directly
    • contextSource: "jira" or no config → current behavior
  2. Bug ticket: summary, description, repro steps, severity, priority, status, linked parent ticket, fix version / PR link, reporter, assignee
    • If status is not "Fixed" or equivalent, warn: "This bug isn't marked as fixed yet. Verify anyway?"
  3. Original QA report (if bug was filed by /qa-qa):
    • Find in features-kb/features/{EPIC-KEY}/qa-reports/
    • Load original failed test case and screenshot (the "before")
  4. Linked PR / commits: check Jira comments for PR links; check git log for commits referencing the bug key

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.
