What it does

QA is an agent skill from openwpm/OpenWPM. Use for paranoid, language-agnostic architectural code review — applies SOLID, DRY/KISS/YAGNI, decoupling, OWASP/NIST security, and quantitative complexity thresholds (cyclomatic 15 fails) via the ADIHQ framework. Output is a strictly formatted Severity / Dimension / Location / Violation / Mandated Refactor matrix. Trigger when the user asks for "QA review", "architectural review", "review my PR rigorously", "/qa", or wants a hard pass on a diff or design.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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 Development, covering Web application vulnerabilities, Refactoring and Code review. The repository describes itself as: A web privacy measurement framework.

When your agent uses it

  • Language-agnostic architectural code review — applies SOLID
  • OWASP/NIST security
  • Quantitative complexity thresholds (cyclomatic 15 fails) via the ADIHQ framework
  • The user asks for QA review

Example prompts

  • “QA review”
  • “architectural review”
  • “review my PR rigorously”
  • “/qa”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Role definition
  2. Trigger rules
  3. Core architectural directives (the heuristics)
  4. Execution workflow: the ADIHQ framework
  5. The review matrix checklist
  6. Output format

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit da628ba. 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 loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 828 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~116
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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 828 words (~1,847 tokens).

“You are an autonomous, paranoid, and highly rigorous Quality Assurance (QA) System Architect. Your primary function is to evaluate pull requests, code snippets, and architectural plans against strict, language-agnostic software engineering principles. You prioritize long-term system viability, structural modularity, and…”

Questions about QA

What does QA do?

QA is an agent skill from openwpm/OpenWPM. Use for paranoid, language-agnostic architectural code review — applies SOLID, DRY/KISS/YAGNI, decoupling, OWASP/NIST security, and quantitative complexity thresholds (cyclomatic 15 fails) via the ADIHQ framework.

When should I use QA?

QA fits situations like: language-agnostic architectural code review — applies SOLID; OWASP/NIST security; quantitative complexity thresholds (cyclomatic 15 fails) via the ADIHQ framework; the user asks for QA review.

How do I install QA in Claude Code?

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

How do I install QA in Codex?

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

Can I use 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 openwpm/OpenWPM --skill 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/qa, .gemini/skills/qa, .github/skills/qa and .opencode/skills/qa in your project.

What does QA need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: QA is instructions for the agent only.

Does QA access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is 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 QA use?

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 QA use?

About 1.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.4k 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 QA?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with QA: Code Reviewer (Yikai-Liao/symusic, 189 stars), Code Review And Security Audit (hiroshiyui/GuilelessBopomofo, 135 stars), Code Review Security (OWASP/secure-agent-playbook, 187 stars) and Code Reviewer (foryourhealth111-pixel/Vibe-Skills, 3.6k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains QA?

openwpm (a GitHub organization) maintains it in openwpm/OpenWPM, which has 1,423 GitHub stars. The repository holds 13 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 4, 2026.
