What problem does it solve?
QA backlogs go stale or get filled with low-value test ideas when ideation and implementation are not paced together. This Skill runs one unattended ideation iteration of a quality-assurance loop: it finds the highest-value untested behavior in the repository, judges it against a strict QA value bar, and files exactly one locked qa issue that an implementation skill can build from later.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Gap discovery: Scans open bug issues, recent commits on main, pure logic in core packages, and weak spots in the existing test suite to find behaviors that would break silently.
- Strict value bar: Rejects proposals that do not fit the assurance-map suites, are non-deterministic, cannot ship in one iteration, or require editing product source code.
- Queue back-pressure: Files nothing when 3 or more
qa issues are already open, keeping ideation paced with implementation.
- Locked issue specs: Creates and immediately locks the issue so the spec stays owner-authored, including protection value, exact target file and function, cases to cover, and blocking dependencies.
- Use Case: Run it on a schedule alongside a
next-qa implementation skill so the QA backlog refills itself with verified, high-value test specs without any human triage.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to run one QA ideation iteration and file the single best test proposal as a locked qa issue.
