qa-persona-testing

qa-persona-testing is a skill for Codex from vasilyu1983/AI-Agents-public. It costs 36 tokens per session (2,786 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A way to test an app as a specific type of customer, called an ideal customer profile or ICP, through browser automation. It looks at the experience from that person's goals and expectations rather than only checking code assertions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define customer personas, run browser sessions as those personas, and produce reports on what to fix, keep, or avoid.
Why use it?
It helps uncover confusing steps, trust problems, friction, and points where users may abandon the app. These problems can be missed by conventional end-to-end tests that only verify expected outputs.

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

qa-persona-testing 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 7d 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 — 154 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

QA Persona Testing

Test a solution or app as a specific person from a specific group — an Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) or defined user segment — rather than as a QA engineer. The skill covers the full loop: find the profile (using sibling skills), set the persona up as an executable specification, drive the app through browser automation like that person would, and produce an improvement report with what to fix, what to avoid, and what to keep.

This is persona simulation, not E2E test authoring. It finds friction, confusion, trust breaks, and abandonment; it does not replace assertion-based regression tests (qa-testing-playwright) or research with real users (software-ux-research).

Quick Reference

Task Read or use Outcome
Find/derive the ICP or persona group ## Phase 1 — DEFINE + sibling skills table Evidence-backed persona candidates

When to Use

  • "Test this app like a {{first-time user / busy accountant / 60-year-old iPad user / our ICP}}"
  • "Would our target customer actually get through onboarding?"
  • "Run a synthetic user / persona-based walkthrough and tell me what to improve"
  • Pre-launch UX sanity pass when real-user testing is not yet feasible
  • Regression of a redesigned flow against the personas that matter commercially

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.
