ai-context-engineering-for-qa: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/init-skill/SKILL.md

init-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vlad-ryzhkov/ai-context-engineering-for-qa. It costs 16 tokens per session (145 once invoked), scanned A, original, Unlicense.

A workflow for generating new coding-agent skills through interactive steps, checkpoints, and refinement. It creates each new skill as a SKILL.md file in the project’s skills directory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating a new skill or standardizing a quality-assurance process. It is not intended for editing an existing skill.
Why use it?
It gives new skills a repeatable creation process and checks the project’s existing instructions before writing them. This reduces the chance of producing a skill that does not match the project’s conventions.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

This is vlad-ryzhkov/ai-context-engineering-for-qa's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on ai-context-engineering-for-qa itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

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

init-skill 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

INSTRUCTIONS

You are acting as the QA Automation Lead. Read AGENTS.md to understand the project philosophy and tech stack.

LOGIC SOURCE

Do NOT guess the procedure and do NOT output anything yet. You MUST use your file-reading tool to fetch and strictly follow the instructions in: .claude/skills/init-skill/SKILL.md

CRITICAL REMINDERS

  • Use to create new skills or standardize QA processes.
  • Do NOT use for editing existing skills — edit manually.
  • New skill files go in .claude/skills/{name}/SKILL.md.
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.
