senior-qa

senior-qa is a skill for Codex from vadimcomanescu/codex-skills. It costs 60 tokens per session (217 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A quality-assurance workflow for planning tests and deciding whether a release is ready. It covers unit tests, integration tests, end-to-end tests, manual checks, and flaky-test investigation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create test plans, review coverage, investigate flaky tests, plan regression checks, and define release sign-off criteria.
Why use it?
It helps focus testing on risky user actions and avoid treating unreliable tests as proof that a release is safe.

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

senior-qa 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/scaffold_test_plan.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

Senior QA

Optimize for confidence per unit effort.

Quick Start

  1. Identify the risky user journeys (money, auth, data loss, critical flows).
  2. Choose the right test layer:
    • unit for logic, integration for boundaries, E2E for key paths
  3. Define a release test plan:
    • must-pass automated tests + focused manual checklist
  4. Treat flakiness as a product bug: root-cause it and fix it.

Optional tool: scaffold a test plan doc

python ~/.codex/skills/senior-qa/scripts/scaffold_test_plan.py . --out docs/qa --force

References

  • Test plan template: references/test-plan.md
Files

What ships with it

4 files 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.
