sprint-testing

sprint-testing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from upex-galaxy/agentic-qa-boilerplate. It costs 213 tokens per session (19,767 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A workflow for manually testing user stories and bugs during a sprint. A sprint is a short development cycle; the workflow covers planning the tests, running them, and reporting the results for each ticket.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for exploratory checks of new stories, bug retesting, sprint-wide QA, and creating test records such as test plans and test results.
Why use it?
It keeps testing steps, bug decisions, risks, and results in one repeatable process. This makes it easier to retest fixes and manage testing for either one ticket or a batch of tickets.

  • high Memory Poisoning · line 68
    Skill manipulates agent memory, state, or stored context. Memory corruption can alter personality, override safety rules, or cause unpredictable behavior.
    Fix: Protect agent memory and state from modification by untrusted content. Use read-only memory for critical instructions and validate all state changes.
  • medium Output Handling · line 8
    Output size or generation rate is not bounded. Unbounded output enables denial-of-service through resource exhaustion, log flooding, or context-window stuffing.
    Fix: Set explicit limits on output length, generation count, and rate. Use max_tokens and truncation to prevent unbounded output.

    Large whitespace padding was detected (a block of blank lines or a long run of spaces). This can push injected instructions below or to the right of the visible area so a human reviewer never sees them while the agent still reads them. Manual review of the hidden content is recommended.

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

sprint-testing scanned grade B with 2 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 5d 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.

Instructions that bias recommendations or shape behaviour without the user noticing.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 556 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Forbidden invocations

NEVER invoke /sdd-* skills from this workflow. SDD is an optional user-installed ceremony; this skill ships self-contained and does not chain SDD under any condition. If you need to refactor KATA, fixtures, cli/, scripts/, or api/schemas/ pipeline, exit this skill first and invoke /framework-development — which itself runs Plan → Code → Verify → Archive natively (no SDD required).

This boundary is mechanical, not advisory: scripts/lint-skills.ts rejects any /sdd- mention outside this section. See: .agents/skills/agentic-qa-core/references/skill-composition-strategy.md §4 (governs users who manually install SDD).

Sprint Testing — Plan, Execute, Report per Ticket

Drive the manual / exploratory QA loop for a single ticket during a sprint. Three stages, always in this order: Stage 1 Planning -> Stage 2 Execution -> Stage 3 Reporting. Hand off afterwards to the skills that own Stage 4, 5 and 6.

The same three-stage pipeline runs in every mode. Only the entry point and the bookkeeping differ: one issue at a time (single-issue), or the whole sprint's QA backlog driven by a sprint-level session pair (sprint-wide).

"Issue", not "story", throughout: Story, Bug, Defect, Improvement, Tech Story and Tech Debt are all coverable, and the sprint queue holds whichever of them the project declares.

sprint-testing is a skill published in the GitHub repository upex-galaxy/agentic-qa-boilerplate (21 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 213 tokens to every session and 19,767 once invoked, about $0.0011 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (subtle steering, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
