What it does

Composer QA is an agent skill from dxos/dxos. Run the executable QA of a .mdl spec — a test QA-n, a suite, or every suite carrying a tag — against a Composer dev server you start, driving each step as one operation call through the agent debug port, judging every step by the UI snapshot, and writing a per-run report. Use when asked to QA Composer, to run a plugin's QA section, to verify a change end to end against the real app rather than a test runner, or when /dxos:qa is invoked. For ad-hoc probing of a live page use composer-debug; to record a walkthrough…

Its SKILL.md is about 4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: TypeScript implementation of the DXOS protocols, SDK, toolchain and Composer.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to QA Composer
  • Run a plugins QA section
  • Verify a change end to end against the real app rather than a test runner
  • /dxos:qa is invoked

Example prompts

  • “/composer-qa”

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Pick what to run
  2. Consent
  3. Start the server and open the port
  4. Run a test
  5. Run a suite
  6. Report
  7. Feed findings back
  8. Snapshot on demand
  9. Stop what you started

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2e6b92a. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node
    • curl

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Composer QA loads about 4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 142 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,896 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~142
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,896 words (~3,976 tokens).

“A test is a written plan that a human and an agent execute from the same source: the human reads do:, you invoke: and evaluate assert:, both judge expect:. The language is packages/reflect/deus/lang/qa.mdl — read it once; its Execution Rules…”

Composer QA is an agent skill from dxos/dxos.mdl spec — a test QA-n, a suite, or every suite carrying a tag — against a Composer dev server you start, driving each step as one operation call through the agent debug port, judging every step by the UI snapshot, and writing a per-run report.

When should I use Composer QA?

Composer QA fits situations like: asked to QA Composer; run a plugins QA section; verify a change end to end against the real app rather than a test runner; /dxos:qa is invoked.

How do I install Composer QA in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add dxos/dxos --skill composer-qa -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/composer-qa in dxos/dxos) into .claude/skills/composer-qa in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Composer QA in Codex?

Run `npx skills add dxos/dxos --skill composer-qa -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/composer-qa in dxos/dxos) into .agents/skills/composer-qa in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Composer QA in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add dxos/dxos --skill composer-qa -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/composer-qa, .gemini/skills/composer-qa, .github/skills/composer-qa and .opencode/skills/composer-qa in your project.

What does Composer QA need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Composer QA needs the command-line tools its instructions call (node and curl).

Does Composer QA access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Composer QA safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Composer QA use?

Composer QA has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Composer QA use?

About 4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 16k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Composer QA?
