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-manual 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 (engine/qa-manual.workflow.js), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

qa-manual

The same engine that drives your app to find bugs (qa-explore) can drive it to document it. Instead of a bug report, the output is a living manual: a coherent, screenshot-annotated guide walked in the order a real person would use the app.

recon the live app  →  ORDER the features as a real setup/usage sequence
                    →  propose a Table of Contents + AUDIENCE          [GATE 1: you approve]
per section, in order:  drive the app to that view → screenshot → annotate the steps
                    →  assemble ONE coherent Markdown manual (one clean example throughout)
                    →  draft ready                                      [GATE 2: you review before it ships]
Markdown is the master → re-run when the UI drifts → docs update instead of rotting

What makes it a good manual (not a screenshot dump)

  • Setup order, not file order. Dependencies/prerequisites first; each section builds on the previous. The recon step reorders whatever it discovers into the sequence a human actually follows.
  • One coherent example throughout. The same clean sample data/flow runs across the whole manual, so screenshots tell a single story instead of contradicting each other.
  • Audience is a knob. The same app yields an installer / configuration guide or an end-user / daily-use guide by setting audience (which also reshapes the TOC and the depth of each step).
  • Every screenshot is annotated with what to do and what to notice — captured from the real app, never mocked.
  • It won't document a broken flow. If a section's happy path hits a blocking bug, qa-manual flags it and leaves that section out (or marked "known issue") rather than teaching a broken path — run qa-explore/qa-fix first.

🔒 The two gates (never publish auto-docs blind)

  1. Approve the TOC + audience up front. The engine returns a proposed table of contents and audience; you edit/approve it before a single screenshot is taken. This is where you catch "wrong order", "wrong audience", "skip this section".
  2. Review the draft before it ships. The Markdown master is handed back for a human read before it becomes the published manual. Docs that go out unread are how wrong instructions reach users.

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.
