What it does

Evanflow QA is an agent skill from evanklem/evanflow. Conversational bug discovery → issue draft. Light listening, background exploration, scope assessment. Asks before gh issue create — never auto-files. Use when conducting a QA session, triaging user-reported issues, or filing bugs.

Its SKILL.md is about 720 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: A TDD-driven iterative feedback loop for software development. 16 cohesive Claude Code skills walk an idea from brainstorm → plan → execute → iterate, with checkpoints throughout.

When your agent uses it

  • Conducting a QA session
  • Triaging user-reported issues

Example prompts

  • “/evanflow-qa”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Listen Lightly
  2. Explore in Background (optional)
  3. Assess Scope
  4. Draft the Issue(s)
  5. File (with permission)
  6. Iterate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c9ae21f. 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:

    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, 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

Evanflow QA loads about 718 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 298 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~718

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 298 words (~718 tokens).

“Removed from upstream: automatic gh issue create. Always ask first.”
