framework-development

framework-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from upex-galaxy/agentic-qa-boilerplate. It costs 196 tokens per session (5,543 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for changing the testing framework itself, including its fixtures, command-line tools, scripts, API schemas, dependencies, and documentation. It uses a planning, coding, verification, and archiving process for these framework-level changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding fixture APIs, changing framework layers, updating the installer, modifying the OpenAPI pipeline, or evolving the framework's documented rules.
Why use it?
Changes to shared testing infrastructure can affect many projects and tests. This workflow adds an architectural review step so new components or installer changes fit what already exists.

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

framework-development 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 4d 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 — 211 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Framework Development — Evolve the QA Boilerplate

Gateway skill for changes to the framework itself: KATA layers, fixtures, installer, OpenAPI pipeline, scripts, doctrine docs. Per-ticket QA work, test specs, and TMS documentation are owned by other workflow skills (/sprint-testing, /test-documentation, /test-automation, /regression-testing) and MUST NOT trigger this skill.

The skill exists because framework-surface changes — new fixture, new layer helper, installer rewrite, manifest extractor — deserve a planning gate before code. Per-ticket test writing already has its own gate in /test-automation Plan → Code → Review; this skill is its architectural-surface counterpart.


Inputs

Canonical reading order for any AI starting cold on a framework-development workflow. Read in order; stop earlier when the change is small enough that later inputs add no signal.

  1. kata-manifest.json — Component + ATC registry (source of truth per Critical Rule #12). Establishes what already exists before any new fixture API, Page, Api, Steps module, or ATC ID is proposed.
  2. .agents/skills/test-automation/references/kata-architecture.md + .agents/skills/test-automation/references/typescript-patterns.md — KATA layer flow (TestContext → ApiBase / UiBase → YourApi / YourPage → TestFixture), ATC identity rules, fixture-selection contract, import-alias conventions.
  3. tests/components/ — current Api / Page / Steps shape; required reading when touching any L2 / L3 surface or adding a fixture consumed by these components.
  4. cli/install.ts — installer flow; required reading when evolving the installer, adding install steps, or modifying boilerplate scaffold behavior.
  5. scripts/sync-openapi.ts + api/schemas/ — OpenAPI-derived TypeScript types pipeline; required reading when touching the API contract pipeline, schema generation, or any consumer of generated facades.
  6. package.json + bun.lockb — dep landscape; required reading before bumping Playwright / Bun / TypeScript / fixture-runtime versions or adding/removing scripts.

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.
