web-testing-exploratory-methodology

web-testing-exploratory-methodology is a skill for Claude Code from wahidyankf/ose-public. It costs 86 tokens per session (875 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-based method for exploring a live website against written specifications. Session-based testing organizes investigation into a focused charter, while specifications describe the intended behaviour.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan testing tours, check forms, navigation, responsive behaviour, URLs, accessibility, performance, and browser differences, then report defects with evidence.
Why use it?
It helps find functional defects, edge cases, inconsistencies, and gaps between what the site does and what its specifications require.

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

web-testing-exploratory-methodology scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

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.
