game-qa

game-qa is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zenstory-ai/novel-to-game. It costs 146 tokens per session (725 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A verification process for checking whether a game works when actually launched. It tests visible rendering, player input, the main gameplay loop, an intended result, and restarting the game.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test a game build on its target runtime and verify the required six-part play path: launch, render, input, core loop, outcome, and restart.
Why use it?
It provides concrete runtime evidence instead of assuming the game works from source code or automated checks alone. It also records limitations without treating fun, balance, or commercial success as proven.

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

game-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 4d 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

游戏质量验证

验证当前候选能否完成最小可玩闭环,不把自动化结果包装成趣味、平衡、权利或发布质量结论。

读取 qa-contract.md 定判据,按 test-design-method.md 设计最少但有区分力的检查。

产物语言由 PRODUCT_BRIEF.md 锁定;未锁定时跟随对话语言,不默认产出中文。

唯一必需合同

每个候选都必须用真实运行证据覆盖:launchrenderinputcoreLoopoutcomerestarttargetFinish 描述成色,不改变这组六项,也不得生成第七道门。

执行

  1. 读取 targetRuntimetestedRuntime 和权威 verify;与 PRODUCT_BRIEF/BUILD_BRIEF 冲突时先报错, 不由 QA 猜值。
  2. 运行权威 verify:它在 testedRuntime 从 clean start → 核心动作 → 设计结果 → restart 完成整条路径,并记录 command、exit code、环境、六项结果、最小证据和实际失败。
  3. 对照 GAME_DESIGN 中会改变结果的不变量和结束标记;只验证批准的设计承诺,不遍历所有 代码路径。
  4. 若候选有可执行模型、事件日志、patch 或 signature_command,按 test-design-method 的对应合同把 项目回归嵌入权威 verify;允许定向诊断、修复和复跑,最终六项证据必须来自同一次完整运行。 失败映射到已有 checks 或 limitation,不新增通用门禁,不拼接不同运行的 PASS。
  5. 记录 limitation 和问题的 product/design/art/build 归属。趣味、长期平衡、留存和商业价值只能写成 未验证风险,不给确定性 PASS。

优先使用已有可观察状态;只有无法判断结果时才增加最小测试钩子。不要为了 QA 重构游戏或强制某种 框架、测试库或调试接口。

输出

  • qa/verification.json:唯一 QA 事实源,包含三态 status、权威命令、complete run、六项 checks、 一条证据路径和 limitations;字段与证据要求见 qa-contract.md。

缺口写结构化 limitation,不发明 PASS_WITH_GAPS;未运行或失败的必需项不能满足整体 PASS。

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.

Run the critical path smoke test gate before QA hand-off. Executes the automated test suite, verifies core functionality, and produces a PASS/FAIL report. Run after a sprint's stories are implemented and before manual QA begins. A failed smoke check means the build is not ready for QA.
