Gather real-world problems, competitor solutions, and customer complaints before test planning to ensure tests cover actual user pain points. This discovery-driven approach uses real user insights to shape test scope beyond standard acceptance criteria.

Researching real user pain points ensures tests cover actual problems customers face, not just theoretical acceptance criteria. Gathering competitor solutions and customer complaints reveals edge cases that standard test planning frequently misses.

Document quality assurance findings as comments in Linear to preserve audit trails for QA reviews. Posting research results directly as story comments keeps real-world problem evidence visible without altering the current story status.

Use discovery-driven test planning to inform downstream test generation skills with structured findings. Researching real-world problems and competitor solutions at the start of the pipeline provides evidence-backed pain points that align subsequent test planning and automation tasks.

Posting research findings to Linear does not change the story status. The skill operates by adding comments only, preserving the current workflow state while maintaining a documentation-driven QA audit trail for review.

Align test scope with actual user pain points by researching real-world problems, competitor solutions, and customer complaints before planning. Gathering evidence-backed insights from real users and forums ensures tests target genuine issues rather than assumed requirements.
