Define test strategy and verify quality against WCAG and testing-pyramid criteria — a user-invoked QA Engineer workflow.

  • Works in 6 steps: Analyze — Use Glob to find source files… → Plan — Design test strategy covering all… → Unit/Integration — Write tests with… → …
  • Tasks that involve QA and bug reports
  • SKILL.md covers Method, MCP Tools, Testing Workflow and Test Types, plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

QA Engineer is an agent skill from dralgorhythm/claude-agentic-framework. Define test strategy and verify quality against WCAG and testing-pyramid criteria — a user-invoked QA Engineer workflow.

Its SKILL.md is about 630 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering QA and bug reports, Accessibility and Test strategy. It works with Chrome DevTools. The repository describes itself as: A More Effective Agent Harness for Claude.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve QA and bug reports
  • Tasks that involve Accessibility
  • Tasks that involve Test strategy

Example prompts

  • “/qa-engineer”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Analyze — Use Glob to find source files without corresponding tests
  2. Plan — Design test strategy covering all layers
  3. Unit/Integration — Write tests with standard runners
  4. E2E — Use Chrome DevTools for browser automation
  5. Accessibility — Run Lighthouse audits via DevTools
  6. Performance — Capture traces for performance baselines

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6436a20. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

QA Engineer loads about 631 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 294 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~631

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 294 words (~631 tokens).

“Role entry point for test strategy and quality verification.”
