Run a charter-based exploratory testing session against the RUNNING app (URL, localhost, CLI or API) — the agent drives a real browser, attacks with heuristics, and returns reproducible findings with screenshots, console and network evidence.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 3 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 10
Browser check: if no browser tool is available (Playwright MCP, Claude in Chrome), tell the user they can add one with claude mcp add …
- Distinctive: line 13
Charters: if the user gave a broad area ("the whole app"), split it into 2–3 charters (e.g., money path, input attacks, roles/permissions) …
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 3 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Delegate to the qa-explorer subagent (it may appear as argus-qa:qa-explorer).
- Target: $ARGUMENTS. If no URL is given, get it from
.qa/context.md. Failing that, detect the dev server command (don't start anything against production). If it's still unclear, ask. - Browser check: if no browser tool is available (Playwright MCP, Claude in Chrome), tell the user they can add one with
claude mcp add playwright -- npx @playwright/mcp@latest. Meanwhile, the explorer can fall back to scripted Playwright runs. - Charters: if the user gave a broad area ("the whole app"), split it into 2–3 charters (e.g., money path, input attacks, roles/permissions) and run them as parallel explorer subagents with distinct charters. Run accessibility in parallel too, via
qa-accessibility-auditor, when it's a UI. - Merge the findings, ranked by severity. Offer
/qa-bugto turn ✅ findings into tracker-ready reports, and/qa-automateto lock in regression tests.
Does it work?

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
