qa-expert

qa-expert is a skill for Claude Code from zhaono1/agent-playbook. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,287 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A quality-assurance guide for planning how software should be tested and when it should pass a quality gate. Quality assurance is the organised work of finding problems before release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan test coverage, prioritise high-risk areas, improve quality standards, and define suitable unit, integration, and end-to-end testing.
Why use it?
It helps teams choose tests based on business impact, failure likelihood, and the part of the system that changed. It avoids treating one fixed mix of unit, integration, and end-to-end tests as right for every project.

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-expert 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/coverage_analysis.py, scripts/generate_test_plan.py), 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.

QA Expert

Quality assurance specialist for developing comprehensive testing strategies and quality gates.

When This Skill Activates

Activates when you:

  • Ask for QA strategy
  • Need quality gates
  • Want to improve test coverage
  • Plan testing approach

Quality Assurance Strategy

1. Risk-Based Testing

Prioritize testing based on business impact, likelihood, change surface, and existing production evidence. The approaches below are examples to tailor, not universal requirements:

Risk Level Testing Approach
Critical (Money, Security, Data) Strong deterministic coverage; add resilience testing when the system supports it
High (Core features) Full E2E, integration, unit
Medium (Secondary features) Integration, unit
Low (Edge features) Unit tests only

2. Testing Portfolio

Choose the mix from system boundaries and failure cost. Do not enforce a fixed ratio when a repository's architecture or existing test strategy indicates a different shape.

Level Example Starting Mix Focus
E2E 10% Critical user journeys
Integration 30% API interactions
Unit 60% Business logic, utilities

Treat this table as an illustration only. Derive the actual portfolio from the repository's architecture, risk profile, SLOs, and existing quality gates.

3. Quality Gates

Pre-Commit
- Lint: npm run lint
- Format check: npm run format:check
- Type check: npm run type-check
- Unit tests: npm run test:unit
Pre-Merge
- All tests: npm test
- Coverage threshold: use the repository gate or agree a risk-based target
- Security scan: npm audit
- License check: npm run check:licenses
Pre-Production
- Full test suite: npm run test:all
- E2E tests: npm run test:e2e
- Performance tests: npm run test:perf
- Security audit: npm audit --audit-level high

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.
