What it does
Manual QA is an agent skill from gronxb/hot-updater. Execute a caller's natural-language HotUpdater QA scenario on examples/v0.85.0 with profile-scoped infrastructure prepared by hot-updater-agent and app interactions driven through agent-device. Use for AI-led manual OTA QA rather than the full E2E runner.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/runtime-targets.md` and `scripts/inspect_android_state.sh`).
It sits in Testing & QA, covering End-to-end testing and Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with React Native. The repository describes itself as: A self-hostable OTA update solution for React Native (Alternative to CodePush).
When your agent uses it
- AI-led manual OTA QA rather than the full E2E runner
- Tasks that involve End-to-end testing
- Tasks that involve Cross-platform mobile apps
Example prompts
- “/manual-qa”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Run the returned closeCommand if the app/session was opened.
- Run hot-updater-agent manual stop .
- Confirm hot-updater-agent manual status is stopped (or
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b3cc4bb. 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
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitcurlpnpm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, curl and pnpm, 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
Manual QA loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 802 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:21
- Environment target: `examples/v0.85.0/.env.hotupdater`. - NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:36
-env-target examples/v0.85.0/.env.hotupdater \
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); the scripts in this folder 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 802 words (~1,643 tokens).
“The only required caller input is a natural-language scenario. Accept the user's intent directly; never require or reinterpret it as a file name from e2e/shared/scenarios.”

Manual QA is an agent skill from gronxb/hot-updater.0 with profile-scoped infrastructure prepared by hot-updater-agent and app interactions driven through agent-device.
When should I use Manual QA?
Manual QA fits situations like: AI-led manual OTA QA rather than the full E2E runner; tasks that involve End-to-end testing; tasks that involve Cross-platform mobile apps.
How do I install Manual QA in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add gronxb/hot-updater --skill manual-qa -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/manual-qa in gronxb/hot-updater) into .claude/skills/manual-qa in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Manual QA in Codex?
Run `npx skills add gronxb/hot-updater --skill manual-qa -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/manual-qa in gronxb/hot-updater) into .agents/skills/manual-qa in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Manual 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 gronxb/hot-updater --skill manual-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/manual-qa, .gemini/skills/manual-qa, .github/skills/manual-qa and .opencode/skills/manual-qa in your project.
What does Manual QA need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Manual QA needs a shell for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (git, curl and pnpm). Our summary lists: A Bash shell.
Does Manual QA access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git and curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Manual QA safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Manual QA use?
Manual 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 Manual QA use?
About 1.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 677 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
