SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? New users landing on this QA boilerplate don't know where to start: which stack it uses, how the Jira QA workflow runs, which MCPs and environment variables are required, or which skill to call for a given task. This Skill provides a guided orientation tour and acts as a front desk for anyone confused about how the repo or any workflow skill works. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided repo tour: Explains the locked stack (Playwright + KATA + Allure + Xray + TypeScript + bun), the Stage 0 pre-sprint plus Stages 1-6 in-sprint QA pipeline, and the Jira QA state machine from Backlog to Deployed to Production. - Teaching mode with visual decks: Answers "how does this skill work" questions in plain language and opens per-skill how-it-works HTML presentations (Spanish, technical terms in English) in the user's browser, always asking first and opening one at a time. - Ordered 4-phase new-project setup path: Walks through foundation setup, Jira catalog sync, project discovery and framework adaptation, and git strategy selection, ending with a readiness checklist. - Use Case: A QA engineer clones the repo for the first time and asks "where do I start?" — the Skill explains the stack, points to bun run setup, lists critical env vars, and hands off to /sprint-testing for the first ticket. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to onboard you to this QA repo or explain how a specific workflow skill like sprint-testing works.

Frequently Asked Questions about agentic-qa-onboard

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I get started with this Playwright KATA QA boilerplate?

Run bun run setup first to bootstrap the .agents directory, MCPs, and Playwright browsers, then fill .env with your credentials. After that, follow the 4-phase new-project path: foundation, Jira catalog sync, project discovery, and git strategy setup.

What is the QA workflow in this repo?

The pipeline has a pre-sprint Stage 0 (/shift-left-testing for backlog AC refinement) plus six in-sprint stages: /sprint-testing for per-ticket manual QA, /test-documentation for TMS test cases, /test-automation for KATA E2E tests, and /regression-testing for CI release verdicts.

Which MCP servers does this QA boilerplate use?

Six canonical MCPs ship with the repo: Context7 for official docs, Tavily for web search, Playwright for live browser interaction, DBHub for database queries, OpenAPI for API exploration, and Postman for request collections. The Atlassian MCP is opt-in via docs/mcp/.

What environment variables are required for Jira and Xray integration?

You need ATLASSIAN_EMAIL and an API token for the acli Jira CLI, plus XRAY_CLIENT_ID and XRAY_CLIENT_SECRET for the Xray Cloud CLI. App login credentials (LOCAL_* and STAGING_*) and TAVILY_API_KEY and POSTMAN_API_KEY are also required; verify with bun run vars:check.

When should I not use the onboard skill?

Do not use it for actual QA execution work. Use /shift-left-testing for pre-sprint refinement, /sprint-testing for ticket QA, /test-documentation for TMS authoring, /test-automation for writing tests, and /regression-testing for release verdicts.

Can I get a visual explanation of how a workflow skill works?

Yes, each workflow skill ships a self-contained HTML presentation in Spanish that walks through its workflow phase by phase. The skill asks for permission first, then opens one deck in your default browser, preferring the published GitHub Pages URL over local files.
