SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Workflow skills for testing (shift-left, sprint testing, test automation, regression) all need the same doctrine — briefing templates, dispatch patterns, defect classification rules, API testing maneuvers — and duplicating that content across every skill causes drift and inconsistency. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Centralized reference library: Hosts canonical doctrine files (test-design, defect-management, ADR, API-testing, briefing templates, dispatch patterns, stage gates) that workflow skills load on demand via a Dependencies block. - Subagent orchestration doctrine: Defines the 7-component briefing template and Single/Sequential/Parallel/Background dispatch decision rules for delegating QA work to subagents. - Defect and test-design governance: Provides binding rules for classifying Bugs vs Defects vs Improvements, mandatory field matrices, QA process epics, and formal test-design techniques (EP, BVA, Decision Tables, Pairwise). - Use Case: When running a sprint-testing workflow that must file a defect in Jira, the workflow skill loads agentic-qa-core's defect-management-doctrine.md to classify the issue correctly and fill every mandatory field before submission. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to load the agentic-qa-core references required by your current testing workflow skill before dispatching subagents or filing defects.

Frequently Asked Questions about agentic-qa-core

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What is the agentic-qa-core skill used for?▼

It is a passive reference library hosting shared QA doctrine — briefing templates, dispatch patterns, defect-management rules, and test-design doctrine — that workflow skills like sprint-testing and test-automation load on demand. It never creates files or orchestrates workflows itself.

How do workflow skills load references from agentic-qa-core?▼

Each workflow skill declares a Dependencies block near the top of its SKILL.md naming the specific agentic-qa-core/references/*.md files it needs. The AI reads that block and loads only the cited files, never the whole reference set.

How does the doctrine classify Bug vs Defect vs Improvement?▼

Classification follows the feature's lifecycle stage, not where the failure was found. A failure in a feature live above Staging is a Bug, a pre-release failure is a Defect, and a gap where no acceptance criterion was violated is an Improvement.

Can agentic-qa-core create files or run workflows by itself?▼

No. It is explicitly a passive reference library with no write path. Creating .context artifacts belongs to project-discovery, scaffolding tests belongs to test-automation, and orchestration belongs to the workflow skills that cite it.

When should a subagent dispatch use Parallel vs Sequential pattern?▼

Use Parallel when tasks are independent and share the same shape, capped at 10 agents. Use Sequential when each stage consumes the previous stage's output, such as Plan then Code then Review in test automation.

Can I install only one skill from this repository?▼

No. The skills depend on shared foundation files and agentic-qa-core references, so the boilerplate must be cloned in full. Copying a single skill directory in isolation leaves it without its dependencies and it will not function.
