What problem does it solve?
This skill eliminates guesswork and unreproduced fixes in BMILD spec-driven development workflows by enforcing evidence-based defect resolution, ensuring code meets requirements before release, and preventing regression debt from unverified changes.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Systematically diagnose bugs, test failures, and CI errors with structured hypothesis testing and evidence collection.
- Slice Verification: Validate completed development Slices against acceptance criteria and quality gates, ensuring all requirements are met.
- Verification Matrix Management: Create, repair, and maintain test matrices that map requirements to demonstrable proof, eliminating gaps in test coverage.
- Minimal Bug Fixes: Apply scoped, evidence-based fixes only after root cause confirmation, with mandatory regression tests to prevent recurrence.
- Use Case: When a CI pipeline fails after a new feature is merged, use this skill to reproduce the failure, identify the root cause, apply a minimal fix, and add a regression test to catch the issue in the future.
Quick Start
Use the bmild-qa skill to diagnose the failing user authentication test in the latest CI run, confirm the root cause, and provide a minimal fix plan with a regression test requirement.
